So, a common question people ask me at shows is “Hey, are you gonna upload this set anywhere?” To which I typically respond “Nope” cause, in 2017, my live show is really one of the last ways I can rely on making money as a musician. So, you know, I gotta keep my shows exclusive so people have a reason to come see me play. It may be flawed logic but I’ve always ran with that. Welllllll…Perhaps I’m getting softer in my old age but I figured I change my ways…kinda. I happened upon a recording of an old set of mine. I don’t know where it was from and the only clue was “2012”. It’s a little under an hour but it gives you an idea of what I typically do live. Mixing and matching parts of all my records, as well as throwing in stuff from all over. Soul, hip hop, even country music. Nothing is out of bounds. I’ll also add that the levels and quality of the mix aren’t perfect (I didn’t record it so I didn’t get to fine tune any aspect of any of how it sounds). So keep that in mind if the levels seem iffy at times.
So, yeah, this ones for all the people who’ve been asking over the years. My hope is that you’ll hear this, think it’s cool and come see me do it lives sometime. So, lemme roll these dice right quick…
Enjoy!
Ludacris, Edith Piaff, Tears For Fears, Chris Isaak, Eye of the Tiger(!!!) laced into a hodgepodge of Music By Cavelight, Downtown Science, Uncle Tony’s Coloring Book, and The Music Scene… what an excellent Friday this is shaping up to be.
This is really dope Uncle Tony. As a fan of yours since Music By Cavelight, you’ll always be up there as one of my favorites. I’ve been bumping that “Blockhead Live from NY” joint since what, like 2006? Ten years later, still put it on.
Love this, and it just gets better with repeated listening.
