It's been some time since Tyson's unfortunate finger injury, and now his voice has removed itself from his body temporarily. The dirty shame behind all this is that talent can be channelled to a single point in the body that the individual must rely on to stay in tip top shape otherwise voiding their ability to channel altogether. Some have persevered, others have cowered, all have cussed, kicked and punched things, and lost hours of sleep thinking of how they could have done things differently.
In light of recent events, the unnamed demo now featured on my Myspace page is about 60% done in terms of the writing and performance process. The working title is currently "Johnson", and the tune uses its chorus to state:
Broken fingers
lead to broke desire
Which in itself is a statement about the modern age and the ten excuses we use to communicate, masturbate, defenestrate and depreciate. While there's no doubt in my mind that technology (or the pleasure of one's self) isn't a subject I should be taking shots at, I'd like to confirm that I'm not. Rather, the whole purpose of this song is to simply make light of our dirty little world and throw out a chorus pertaining to how a concentrated aspect of our being can be taken away with say a hammer, sleeping the wrong way, or even a piping hot deep dish pizza.
Other than "Johnson", two songs entitled "Over and Over Again and Again" and "Artists On Fire" are also in the works. Which will be unveiled at the Starbucks show on the 26th? Who knows.
Also, Northern Lights Festival Boreal has a few open sign up slots for performers on the CKLU stage. Chances of either Tiny Onions, Capt. Wonderful, a combination of myself and Tyson, or what have you, signing up are unclear at this point in time.
