Mondays- am I right or am I right? Anyway, it has been an action-packed few days full of this and that and assorted whanot. But first things first- I have a new favorite song and it is “Back in Your Head” by Tegan and Sara. The song came out a few years ago I guess but because of my on-the-go lifestyle I am just catching up with it. I was at my friend Rob’s house the other night eating stuff he had cooked on a grill with fire when all of a sudden this song came on and I was blown away by it’s awesomeness. It pretty much has everything I like about music in it minus a big heavy metal guitar solo, but I figure I could add that at home if I wanted to. And since getting into this song, I have been getting into all sorts of other Tegan and Sara songs and now I am totally a great big giant Tegan and Sara fan, maybe the biggest. A lot of people are wondering if this now means that I am a lesbian. Yes, it does. Anyway, Tegan and Sara are great so if you don’t already like them, you should totally start listening to them. I am going to start a fanzine dedicated to them and also ask my dad to drive me to go see them when they come to my town.
In other news, because I am a sad man prone to Googling myself in my weaker moments, I discovered a couple nice write-ups about me, Dave Hill on the Internet. Here is one that is a nice preview of my recent show at UCB in Los Angeles. And here is one that is a nice preview of my recent show at Mass MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts this past Saturday night.
Speaking of Mass MoCA, I had a super blast performing there on Saturday. It was a full house, which was super exciting since I generally tend to wonder if anyone will come see me perform. I always worry that people will decide to stay home and watch their programs at the last minute. I imagine there are pills for this sort of thing. Anyway, the show was super fun. A really funny comedian named Mark Jagiello opened for me and then I went out and laid my art and privates on the line for about an hour before heading over to a nearby bar called the Mohawk, where I drank Michelob all night long, something I always thought only happened on TV commercials.
Before the show at Mass MoCA, I took a nap in my hotel room at the nearby Porches Inn, which was delightful. There is one room in the hotel that has a window in the bathroom that looks out on the hotel lobby so pretty much everyone in the hotel can look inside and see what is going on in that bathroom. As it turns out, that was the room I had. I gave everyone quite a show before I realized what was going on. Now we all have a secret. Then I went over to my dressing room and ate a pizza. This is the show business lifestyle.
Love,
Dave Hill
