New album is FINALLY here... And It's Complicated...

Here's the thing... I'm the kinda guy that is normally pretty laid-back, never really too phased by something, but when it's out of my control... I'm a disaster. I mean, can you blame me? If I took a shit in my pants, I have no choice but to laugh about it. I did it! But if someone else took a shit in my pants, well... I'd be pissed. And I think with good reason. After all, that foreign feces was not my fault. I had no control over that happening. I can sleep easy if I created the foam boxers, but if not... Well... Hopefully you get this fucked-up analogy...

My "other person took a crap-in-pants" moment has been happening the past few days. My new album "Leave the Kids Behind" is out Tuesday 1/26/2010. It's my first new release since August of 2004, and even more importantly it's a venture back to my roots - How I got to where I am today: Comedy music.

In a nutshell, I discovered my greatest creative outlet (music) by doing parody songs of random kids in high school. Think of it as if something was going down - I'd offer my commentary on it. Granted, I was suspended most of my junior and senior years of high school so I missed out on alot of the juicy happenings on a day-to-day level, but I called an audible and ended up writing most of the songs revolving around my own messed up teenage years. Ended up being a blessing in disguise because at least there is some record of my younger years: Songs of my drug and drinking binges.

Those goofy songs led to me getting some exposure with a producer, leading me to a working contract, and ultimately some face time in front of labels. Of course Eminem became popular overnight, and this outspoken white boy became a pawn in a much larger game. The industry demands you change to jump in on the fun, and if you don't you're screwed. So I said piss off and called it a day. Now over the years I stayed in music, learned production, and found peace with my place in the industry. When I released 'Box of Crackas' in 2004, I thought that was it and was very comfortable if that ended up being my final record.

But as it usually does, things change and my passion returned. So a smarter, revived, care-free BS has rose up and returned to his original place. Now I won't try to stand here and say I'm the best, but through everything I've learned, everything I've achieved, and everything I am - I know I can hang with the best this genre has to offer. Because I'm not an act. I believe nothing is off limits, nothing is taboo, and the people that act the most 'proper' and 'offended' are usually the ones with the most to hide. Everyone has skeletons. That's fine. I'm not asking you to come forward with them. But don't tell me you're offended or uncomfortable over something I said or did. I'm the guy who has to sleep with it. I'm the guy who gets the sneers, I'm the dealer - I'm the asshole. If you have an open sense of humor - I'm your guy. If not, well... Pull the stick out of your ass. I'm not demanding you be outspoken, I'm just telling you to chill the fuck out. Life's too short to be a tight-ass...

So since I've been a little anxious about the album release, I decided to check out a movie tonight. Really couldn't handle sitting in a theater for almost 3 hours with Avatar, so we went with It's Complicated with the immortal Alec Baldwin. Seriously, he can pull off creepy cool better than anyone. Just watching him sit on a bench staring and spying is funny. It's a good popcorn movie, it flows perfect - And doesn't have a over-the-top Hollywood ending. It's got a**gasp** realistic ending. Though one thing kinda made me squirm in my seat... Steve Martin being romantic. Seriously, has he ever had a love scene in a movie? I know he usually plays the dad, or a goof, or a professional type. Just ninety kinda ways wrong. Not even funny awkward. Just awkward. What do you tihnk? I know I can't be the only one thinking this...

Anyway, I'm going to be a whore and plug my new album:

I'll be all over the radio this week whoring it up - Make sure you check out the new album so I can sleep well and never forget to be yourself and I'll check back with a new blog in a few...

BS

Welcome to BS Blog!

Now I've kept a blog before, on my own website: 1023e.com; But to be honest, it was a pain in the ass keeping up and working with the webmaster, all the extra crap, bottom line... Not worth it. Besides, if you're busy - What can an entertainer possibly say to keep people rivited? What does Lady Gaga's blog talk about?

'Day #38 of Tour: 8:28am : Had a bad experience with a background dancer last night... Found out I had a penis. To keep the teenagers interested in me, I'm going to dress in bubble-wrap. Gotta stop at Office Depot to pick some up...'

Ok, after typing that and taking a look, I'd be lying if I said that wasn't an interesting read. But that's kinda my point - Who the hell is that honest? Does Alec Baldwin say he's going to do a line of blow and try to bang a 18 year old tonight? Does 50 cent say he's going to visit some friends down at Eddie Bauer? Pick out some new drapes at Bed, Bath, and Beyond? Nope. Celeb blogs are an extension of their persona... Well, that's why I'm here...

BS is BS... As in, it's really me. I'm going to tell you that White Castle has given me AMAZING gas all day. If I get an STD, you're going to know about it. It's going to be part Twitter and Part E! True Hollywood Stories. We're going to have a blast...

Since this is a going to be a very brief first post, I'm just going to cut to another chase... I'll be whoring myself with those links on your right, check out all things BS - Hopefully you'll leave me some hate mail along the way...

And don't be pissed it's a shortie this time around... Just like weed, sex, and the Godfather... It's always better the second time around... See you again soon...
