Yes, I haven’t written in weeks but yes, I’ve been working on a new project. I’m hoping to launch it on June 1st but this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, and there are burgers to eat, frosty beverages to consume, and friends to hug. Those are more important to me, and I’ve never been much for deadlines. We’ll see.

The gal with the dollar sign in her name and her song “Tik Tok” slowly are slowly making their way into every crevice of our lives. “Tik Tok” has been used to promote television shows such as Project Runway and Minute to Win It (Have you seen that show? It’s ridiculous. AND AMAZING.) It’s also found its way into shows like The Hills but even moreso peculiarly, The Bounty Hunter and The Simpsons. In fact, if you missed it (because I’m pretty sure no one really watches new Simpsons episodes anymore), in order to roll with the musical week on the Fox Network, Groening and clan changed up the couch gag by having the cast sing “Tik Tok”. It’s true, nothing is sacred anymore.

As an added bonus, my friend Aaron Allen (formerly of Valeyra and Spanish For Valerie) helped record a remake of “Tik Tok” with his boys, Game 7. Aside from the cheesy slideshow, the guys changed the hook to “Drink, Drink” and whipped up some clever lines. It’s worth a once over listen but you can download it for free if you’d like!

Either way you listen to it… you gotta admit, it’s ridiculously catchy. You’re welcome.

Sorry I’m late to the game today but I’ve been nursing some allergies. Hello, spring! I know I’ve been super duper quiet lately but it’s because I’ve joined forces with DayBowBow and SubEx to bring you DFW’s first “super” blog, GOLION!

The future is now, as DayBowBow.net, SubservientExperiment.com, and TheNeener.net have joined forces to become GOLION. We hope our loyal fanbases will understand our new directions as we aim to better serve the DFW music-loving community. Our mission statement is as follows:

The ever-changing environment of online music coverage makes it all but impossible for any one entity to survive on its own. So with this in mind, we’ve decided that the best plan was for each of our entities to combine into something more than we could be on our own. By becoming something bigger than the sum of our parts, we hope to provide the area with the best in local and national coverage while still keeping the voices that we worked so hard cultivate with our other projects. We thank you for your prior support and hope that you stay with us as we grow.

Instead of writing today’s countdown post (don’t worry, I’ll postdate one tomorrow!) I bring you something that is neither here nor there. Just a break from all the madness that will occur this month. Enjoy.
