The internets

Dude.

I can't handle how
cool technology is getting.

I'm starting my own
live concert series,
from my bedroom.

Let me explain...

Last Friday I appeared
on Red Bar Radio (redbarradio.com)

It was fucking awesome.

It's always been very cool,
the host, Mike D,
is a fucking cool guy,
no matter how much of an
ass he comes off as on his show.

That's just his schtick.

So it's always been cool,
and his listeners have become
fans of my music, and bought CDs,
and all that kind of shit.

but now!

He has a camera setup,
and he broadcasts the show,
live...
on a site called: stickam.com

and, get this...
people actually watch it.

sometimes hundreds,
maybe thousands at a time...
sometimes twelve.

that may not seem like a lot,
but keep in mind,
I've played to less in real life.

Now that got me thinking,
"why can't I do this?"

well...
I can.

I already have the camera,
my digital video camera can do it.

And I went out and bought a mixing board,
so I can put my mic, guitar, and wazinator
into the computer.

Viola...
live concert series,
every Thursday in January and February,
starting tomorrow night (Thursday, 2/10)
at 9 pm central.

The craziest shit is,
if you have a webcam,
you can see me,
and I can see you, too.

It's fucking weird,
but I'm looking forward to it.

You ca log into the chat room,
and make requests,
say shit, ask questions,
whatever you want.

This is for all the people
who live all over the place
or who are sixteen and have
never been able to make a real show.

And for me,
cause I don't want to leave
my house until I go back on tour.

I'm a little bit hermit-ty
like that.

My annoying room mate
moves out in seven days,
and I start recording new
shit in eight.

I'm still up in the air about what
to record.

I thought about doing
an album of covers,
calling it "cover bands suck dick"
and putting my "cover bands suck dick"
song as the last track.

I think that's pretty funny.

or..
I might do a serious EP,
weird.. huh?

But I wrote a lot of relatively
serious songs over the last few months,
and I'd like to lay them down,
so you can peek at my softer side.

or, I might do a standard Nice Peter EP,
call it, Songs About People,
and put the following songs on:

Friends
Radial Muslim Penpal
Pez Dispenser Collection
Sugar Momma
and a studio version of
Pornstar

what do you think?

and tune in any
Thursday, 9 pm central,
for a live concert on the internet.
the first one might be a little choppy,
in fact,
I might not even do it tomorrow,
but if I do..
I'll put all the info on my front page.

much love,

-p

I always have enjoyed your music Peter but after seeing you on Red Bar, I am a fan. I have dl'd your music from itunes and if you ever decide to do a stickam show, I will be in the first row.
