I’ve been engineering a 4-part comedy special for the radio station that I work at. It’s called “Seriously Funny” and it’s written by tv/comedy playwright Ron Bloomberg. I’ve also created some original music for the series. The first episode will initially air this Saturday Feb. 6th at 8:30 am (MT) on KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio . There was an interview today on our morning show “The Santa Fe Radio Cafe” to help promote this new comedy special. There were some nice words said about me and some of my music was featured at the end. It was a very good interview. Check it out!
The Santa Fe Radio Cafe - Seriously Funny Interview
And here’s the official write-up about the show: SERIOUSLY FUNNY! - KSFR 101.1FM Public Radio is pleased to present an entertainment series created by Ron Bloomberg, premiering Saturday, Feb. 6th at 8:30am, rebroadcast on Wed., Feb. 10th at 6:30pm and Fri., Feb. 12th at 1:00pm. SERIOUSLY FUNNY! the story of William T. Tuttle, a modern day Don Quixote driving a worn out Chevy Camaro. Set in Santa Fe, we follow William in his travels where he will meet a myriad of colorful and interesting characters.
William is a prototype of so many of us living lives of not so quiet desperation in 2010. He’s been in and out of jobs and relationships, but romantic sparks fly when he meets Blue Pearl - a waitress/performance artist with a rather dark past.
The various story lines come together at Gus’ piano bar where our regulars interact and where Blue Pearl sings a devastatingly witty Rogers and Hart song, “To Keep My Love Alive.”
The Cast features a number of Santa Fe’s finest actors:
Liam Lockhart, Genia Michaela, Alaina Zachary, Tom Romero, Robyn Reede, William Verderber, Tom Woodward, Ron Bloomberg. And as Gus the Piano Player . . . . . . David Geist Funny, musical, stylish . . . And a welcome addition to KSFR 101.1FM Public Radio!
So my cover of the song “Red Rubber Ball” has just been featured over at http://coverfreak.com this week. Check it out!
I’ve also been uploading more videos. You can check them all out at http://www.youtube.com/lumpyrecordings, or linked in the video section to the right.
The picture is from last Friday’s full-moon. I took it at 1 am from the driveway.
I’ve finally finished uploading The P. Lacquers New Years Eve performance from 2004/2005. The show took place at the Twin Cities Underground in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
It’s old and funny
Enjoy!
Below is the opening song “And Then She Came” from the 2004 release Welcome to the World of Music. To see the whole show go HERE: www.youtube.com/lumpyrecordings
I’ve now added a “videos” section to the site. You can check it out over to the right. I’ve uploaded some clips from the “P. Lacquers Summer Retreat 2007″ DVD, as well as some other hot vids. I am currently working on editing down some more to hopefully add to the collection. You can also check out the videos here.
Hopefully I’ll have some new music up this week. I’ve been getting suggestions for some bad ass songs to cover, and you can always recommend cover songs by emailing me. lumpy@bryanhighhill.com
Happy belated New Year to you all. Here is my official cheers into the new year:
So many of you have probably heard the new phenomenon that is sweeping bars nation wide. It’s called “SHOTS”. Who Woulda thought? If you haven’t heard it, I’ve included another youtube bootleg below.
As far as I can remember I’ve never heard songwriting as good as in this Hit. It makes Yngwie look like a total asshole ifyaknowhatimsayin. While learning the ins and outs of this composition I really got an exclusive look at how to make millions in the music industry. Based on what I learned, Festive Occasion should have been making millions years ago.
Here’s my cover of the hit song “Shots” by LMFAO feat. Lil Jon using a melodica, drum set, tambourine, trumpet and keyboard
I hope that everyone is having a good holiday season. Here is a new cover that I recorded today. It is a song by Minnesotan musician Mason Jennings and it is called “Adrian”. It’s from the album “Century Spring”. Below is one of those bootleg youtube videos of the original audio. Youknowhatimsayin.
I’m going to the arctic for a week. see you when I return. have a happy and safe new years! enjoy the music and remember that the premiere Lumpy album is available for sample and purchase HERE. do consider it?
You can now order “From Wilderness Cove” through the website using paypal. Click on the From Wilderness Cove link on the right, then the Buy Now button. Or you can do it by clicking here:
So the album is complete and now available in tangible form. I’ve put up a new section on the site called “From Wilderness Cove” (to the right). There you will find information on the album and how you can obtain it. There are also sound samples from the CD as well. Please spread the word, hope you enjoy and thank you!
So during my senior year in college I recorded an album under the moniker Bryan Rock called “Crucial Bomb” (thanks to Grant for the titular assistance). I think there might be 20 or so copies of it floating around somewhere… or in a landfill. Either way there was a song on it called “I Guess Humans Move Too Slow”. I re-recorded it and made it better. Here is the brand new version.
Hope you all had a fat T day. To help you remedy your turkey/pumpkin/boozy/carbohydrate hangover, I bring to you a new addition to the “Lumpy Covers”. It’s a cover of the Slackers’ song “Who Knows” from their 2003 release “Close My Eyes”. Please notice my brother crooning the silky bass vocals.
