This Saturday night, I will have the pleasure of taking part in the Old Jack residency at The Rosebud. The last Saturday of every month, Dan Nicklin and his soulful outfit take over Davis Square’s best new music venue. It is a guaranteed good time (Ed. note – “guarantee” in the absolute loosest sense of the word).

In this month’s episode, I will be playing an acoustic set followed by a ripping set by Old Jack. Closing out the night will be a reunion of local rock heroes/Marylou’s News pitchmen The Charms. Should be a very fun night of rock and roll music.

In other news, the rehearsals for The Cover-Up Presents Wilburys Weekend are going great. Trying to embody the spirit and the vocal style of Roy Orbison has been probably the biggest challenge of my music career. Orbison had this unique tone that is pretty impossible to match. I’ll certainly give it the old Brendo try. I’m having a blast doing it.

After the Cover-Up, I’ve got another cool project about which to tell you all. I won’t give you all the details quite yet, but I will say it involves a beautiful woman and (this time) I have full consent. Stay tuned…

Hey folks,

Hope you’re not all thinking that the relative quietude of my blogging is due to some sort of catastrophic gonad injury that has been inflicted upon me. Don’t you worry – my gonads are just fine, thank you very much. Some might even say extraordinary. My doctor says “Peculiar, but ultimately harmless.”

But enough about my gonads. No, I’ve kept things relatively quiet on the internet front due to the overwhelming web presence of the Rock Primary videos and consequential awesome show. Just wanted to give you all a break before I start up about the very exciting early fall I’ve got planned. There are some very cool projects, shows, and announcements coming up that will be earth-shaking or at the very least mildly earth-trembling.

As for the rest of the summer, I am playing an acoustic set as part of Old Jack’s residency at the Rosebud Bar in Davis Square, Somerville. If you haven’t seen a show at the Rosebud, you should definitely treat yourself to the area’s most fun, mellow, awesome rock and roll room. I have a blast every time I go to the Rosebud and so will you. That show is on Saturday August 28 at 9pm.

So enjoy your Brendo respite, my kittens. There is more to come…

I had a great time playing my Storytellers show at the Rosebud Bar in Davis Square.  Great crowd, good friends – got to play with the old Brendan Boogie Band as well as the Best Intentions.  Just a wonderful night of fun.

The crazy thing is that I had 3 and a half hours and I ran out of time.  I had to cut like 10 songs.  My songwriting volume has officially reached the “ridiculous” mark.  I don’t know what to do about it.  The hits just keep pouring out of me.

As part of the Storytellers show, I had a “Question Bucket” into which people could write anonymous questions and I’d answer them.  Unfortunately, I ran out of time and didn’t get to all the question, but here are the ones I didn’t have time to fully answer:

Tell us about a time you got laid.

I’m sorry but that was not in the form of a question.

Why are my knees so cold?

Are they?  Or are your thighs and shins unseasonably hot?

What is the atomic number of plutonium minus the number of Sham-Wows sold in Utah during the week of April 7th, 2009?

There were actually NO Sham-Wows sold in Utah that week.  You know, because of the Book of Mormon.  So the answer is 94.

Which of your knees is your favorite and when did you first realize this?  Please answer in French.

Hou la. Il y a eu beaucoup de questions à propos de mes genoux à ce spectacle. Vous êtes tout un bouquet d’idiots obsédés de genou.

What did the deaf, blind, and paralyzed kid get for Christmas?  Cancer.

You answered your own question, rendering me wholly unnecessary.  Kudos.

Who wrote the Book of Love?

In my adolescence, I saw a porno called The Book of Love once starring Nina Hartley and featuring a gay genie.  Ah, the days when porns had plots.

There is a fox, a chicken, and chicken feed.  You have to get them over to an island.  You can only take one at a time.  If you leave the chicken and chicken feed alone, the chicken will eat the feed.  If you leave the fox and chicken alone, the fox will eat the chicken.  How do you get them all to the island without them eating each other?

Okay, I’ve heard this one before.  First, I take the chicken over.  Then, I take the fox over and take the chicken BACK.  On the canoe ride over, I impregnate the chicken.  When the chicken lays an egg, I make some French toast (I always keep challah bread in my pants) and serve it to the fox.  While the fox is complaining that the syrup is not Vermont maple, I throw the chicken feed in the river and teach the chicken the cha-cha.

I hope that answers all of your questions.  Hooray for human interaction!

The big Storytellers show at the Rosebud is happening tomorrow night.  Right.  You just read that.  You probably want more info, huh?  Here’s the deal (straight from the Facebook event page!):

Can’t get enough of me? Neither can I.

A full night of telling stories of songwriting, making music, and whatever else pops out of my mouth. Featuring audience questions and answers. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll need to Purell your soul.

Featuring songs from throughout my now legendary (in my own mind) career. Acoustic, solo, duets, full band, special guests – you don’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind night.

With guests:
Nate Rogers (Scamper, The Future Everybody)
Mike Mirabella (Scamper, The Rationales and The Future Everybody)

And many more. Well, maybe a couple more.
