Yay Jon! I will become irrationally excited when I see a White Castle commercial with you in it. Excellent!
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone. I still can\'t get over that the casting call specifically asked for me! It\'s so weird!
I found a (non-buffista) friend to do the video, but a special thank you to DX Machina who offered to truck up here from RI.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jon, what song do they want you to record?

They sent me the words and I\'m supposed to make up a melody. At least for the audition -- maybe they have something particular in mind for the actual thing. Right now, I\'m thinking of a basic blues riff, a la \"I\'m a Man\", with me \"singing\" between riffs. Because there is not a theremin player alive who can sing and play together both on pitch. Seriously -- I think both activities use the same neurons or something.

In other news: I didn\'t make the connection until a bandmate reminded me, but Peter Berdovsky, one of the Mooninite guys (the one with the dreads), set up a Lothars show at MassArt a few years ago. I have emails from him and everything! ;)

Congratulations. They should recruit Don Ho, too. He could sing "Tiny Burgers" and you could accompany him.
Seriously, though, "I'm supposed to make up a melody" is also known as composing and royalties are where the money is. So if you have the option to go that route do it! Timbaland (may as well dream big) or somebody could see the commercial, decide to sample it, & then yee frickin' hah!

That has crossed my mind, Joe.
