Hey People of the Future!

2009 is all up on us and unless you are a Microsoft Zune than we are all recovered from eggnog-holiday gift-wrapped goodness and right back to work/school! So Let’s ring in the start of a new Year with some live music!

Saturday January 10th, 200Nine-
Spike Hill
184 Bedford Ave
Brooklyn NY
FREE!!!
8pm- Elijah B Torn (your humble narrator)
9pm- Gold Streets
10pm- Hans Blix

I have yet to see Gold Streets but apparently they kick much ass. I always love me some Hans Blix! They always kick ass live and you can purchase their album (that I mixed) or check out some of their new material here. kickass.

also- For “You Are Lucky I am Not a Vigilante”, I did chose NOT to make any CD’s and put my album on iTunes as a digital only release. However you can still pick one up at my shows in a very special form…

what is the best way to hide contraband?! in Toys of course!!

so….I chose to put my album as fully CD quality 16bit 44k aiff files on a 2GB usb mini drive INSIDE a special Elijah B Torn rubbery ducky! Since it is a harddrive with more than enough room this also has pre-ripped unlocked mp3s, the preview video, FULL quality artwork (so you can print it out and put it on your college dorm wall next to Van Gogh and Bob?) AS well as a super special old school interactive printout you can put in the MAILbox and send to people you love (to hate)! PLUS its a reuseable 2GB harddrive!!! all for the low low price of a CD!!! (cat not included)

it seems that NASA seemed to have a similar idea too….click here

here are some random pics from our day off in gainesville between the Jacksonville show and Tampa as well as some pics from our show in Tampa at Viva La Frida with Alto Clark (who absolutely blew us away) and Biepang (who was terrfyingly awesome, they tore it up.)

on our day off we hungout, went for a run, eat some of Lenny’s fine homecooked vegetarian meals as well as the Natto that he got for us. Hung out at his art/science studio Light in Progress with him, Electronic Sub South founder Chris Miller, The Viirus and Koabra. Freaking great time with those guys.
