w00tstock — The Song

August 12, 2011

Well, looky here!  Or even better, listeny here!  ‘Cause it’s a new song!

Proudly features vocals by my best buddy Chris Hardwick & new old pals Paul and Storm.

It’s a tribute parody about the geek-themed variety show “w00tstock“, which is itself a geek-themed tribute to the Woodstock festival, created by Paul and Storm, Adam Savage, and Wil Wheaton.  (I’m very lucky to have been invited to perform in several of them. They really are little love-fests, like Woodstock, minus the mud and with more “On” buttons.)

It’s a parody of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s incredible cover of “Woodstock” (orig. by Joni Mitchell), which you younger fans might not be familiar with, but which you should definitely get.


Sketching Sketchy Dudes

February 14, 2011

So, the other day, master cartoonist and very nice dude Len Peralta told me that he just used one of my songs—”Sketchy Dudes“—in one of his cartooning lessons. “!!!,” I emoted.

He was kind enough to post a couple of his favorites:

A big thanks to Len (aka @jawboneradio, creator of “Geek a Week” trading cards) for the nod, and “Bravo!” to my three new favorite artists in the entire world.

(Note: the last one was made by the very talented Shawn Sabourin, daughter of master songwriter and very funny dude Paul Sabourin (who is one half of my comedy music heroes, Paul and Storm (who have written songs about “Star Wars” (a film that features Harrison Ford (who was in “Working Girl” with Oliver Platt (who was in “Loverboy” with Kevin Bacon))))).)

Aha aha…

Cleaning Out the Closet — “Your Wookie”

Chewbacca with a friggin' crossbow

I made this song on a 4-track in 1997. I’m posting it because… why have it on just my computer when there’s ONE Star Wars super fan out there who NEEDS TO HEAR IT?!
