Well it's been a long time coming but my first single in many years is finally
out and available for streaming and purchase. "Lonely Calls To You" plus the
bonus track - a cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway" - done up in my own Bradley
style. "Runaway" will only be available on the single.
On Friday the 13th - we released the video for the new song "Lonely Calls To
You" - directed and edited by the amazement that is Devin Tait, we shot on the
Sunset Strip and in Hollywood - two of my favorite places in the world.
Utilizing The Rainbow Bar & Grill, Whiskey a Go Go, Tower Records and of course
the Walk of Fame. I hope you all enjoy it...
There are a ton of things happening all of a sudden:
1. P!nk, one of my all time favorites just announced she is releasing a Greatest Hits album in November and you can stream the first single - plus she's shooting a video starting today and it will feature a gay wedding - she rocks. Check these links: Article on video, and the single "Raise Your Glass" (she's speaking my language).

Also at around 8:30 before Blender starts my pal Devin Tait & The Traitors will be playing. The theme is fucked up Disney and you should go in costume.
5. My boss just emailed me and told me he is going to pay me my third quarter commission despite not meeting his goal... this is very exciting as now I can buy some Christmas presents.
6. I am probably going to be missing both the Friday and Saturday things I just told you about as this weekend (October 9th) is my two year wedding anniversary... that's right 2 years, still in love and the haters can't take away my marriage license (yet)

Yesterday it occured to me it is exactly one month until I'm a married man, perhaps that's why I have been having strange dreams about sexual encounters with other people (that's for another blog), but more pressing than what the things I can't control are the things I probably could control, you know like the fact I have become a fat ass and am only really hitching my dude before he wanders out the door and realizes not all blondes have an inner tube around their middle. So I have to lose about 20 pounds in about 20 days. Now my pal the Ciss, is an expert fitness guru, losing weight, counting calories, hiking, biking, gardening and doing all kinds of other insane things I would never consider, I guess I need to find a dealer, the crank diet has done wonders for many people and I'm sure it could work for me too. Thankfully, I don't have an addictive personality so I could totally stop doing the stuff once the weight is off... we'll see what happens I guess, now I'm off to smoke cigarettes and drink coffee so I can wake up.
Oh on a side note:
So some reviews are in on the new Swivek single "Fabulous" including:
"The single sounds fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)You rock my friend. :)" and "loving me some of the new music! very cool stuff you are doing. it's on my ipod now. "
