No Signal - Live

My garage band 'No Signal' will be playing live for the first time ever on January 14th, 2011 at Clinton's Bar in Toronto. Clinton's is a great tavern and will be a cool place to play at. The majority of our songs are covers of musicians we like (Wilco/Old 97's/Neil Young/etc...) but I will be singing our one original song (written by bandmate Andrew Sprachman ) called "Lucky Lady". It is an amazing song in my opinion and I hope that I can do it justice ? Once we have it down we will record it and then I hope to start stage three of the 'Lost Vegas Art Project'. If you are in town and can come by , please do.

GM gives a little and gets ALOT !

So GM "gives" Armando Galaraga a FREE -Vette valued at $ 60,000.00 in honor of the No-Hitter he had been robbed of. Nice gesture. In response ... over the following four days the company/car was talked about on 714 TV programs and mentioned in over 151,000 print and internet publications. The estimated value of that exposure is estimated at $ 7,900.000.00 !

GM=Great Marketing.

Keep givin' .

"Goodbye Freemont Street Cowboy"...

Stephen StanleyThanks to Stephen Stanley (with Barry Walsh on back up vocals and Phil Presnel on the recording and mix) for the amazing song underneath the Lost Vegas images. Steve was a founding member of the Canadian Rock Band "Lowest of The Low" and continues today as a solo musician and Creative Director at "Strategy Magazine". Steve played the opening exhibit of the Lost Vegas Art Project and promised he would pen a song. It took a while but it was well worth the wait !!!

This is a steal...

The makers of "Steal This Film" literally want you to steal the film and watch it, pass it around, or change it. If you like it and want to support them that is up to you.

Enjoy, it's a cool little film.

A game in town like this...

The song playing under the "Lost Vegas" images this week is by "Corb Lund & the Hurtin Albertan's" from his new amazing CD called "Losing Lately Gambler" .
Ten years ago I met Corb at a magazine launch for a magazine that I had shot George Plimpton for the cover and he was doing an acoustic set by himself. I asked if if he would let me use some of his music for my first film that I was working on at the time called "Marymount Again..." . He let me use a great song called "The Oldest Rhytm" for the epilogue that I edited for the film (for free!). Since that time he has established himself as one of Canada's great singer songwriters and is beginning to break in the US with this latest album. Support him by buying his music and go see him live if he is playing anywhere near you, you won't be disapointed.

Thanks for everything Corb,

The Free "Hall of Fame"...Winona Rider.

Back in 2001 Hollywood actress Winona Ryder proved that she was ahead of her time in the world of "Free". She was accused and found guilty of taking
$ 4,700.00 of merchandise and clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hill. Not recommended to the kids out there but worthy of a spot in the FREE "Hall Of Fame".

Congratulations.
