Yahoo News – How to Become a Rock Star
February 17th, 2008
Yahoo news has just posted a great little video piece about me – there’s some concert footage in there mixed with interviews, me walking around the hood, working in my studio. The whole thing is cleverly done as if I am an actual musician (they fell for it!). The fabulous “jumping in the air at the end of a concert” shot is my favorite. They also use the phrase “Godfather of Geek Rock,” which is pretty awesome, though really it might be more accurate to say I’m the “second cousin” or the “weird uncle.” At any rate, watch and enjoy, and thank you Yahoo News: potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/61785/how-to-become-a-rock-star
Love your stuff. But, as far as Godfathers of Geek Rock go, you’re behind Weezer, They Might Be Giants, and maybe Weird Al. The guy who wrote that article was obviously not a music guy, but maybe a tech guy that they let write a music article. Keep Geek Rocking anyhow.
I am just wondering where I can find your music? I just saw you on Yahoo news and love the music.
Anybody have an archive of this? Lame Yahoo has lost it, undoubtably due to one of its flailing reorgs. :-{
