July mix

Since July is almost over I thought I'd throw up some tracks I've been listening to this month:

Knockout - Lil' Wayne & Nikki Minaj
Another Chessboxin' Arguement - Wugazi
Freaks and Geeks - Childish Gambino
Indian Summer, Indian Summer - White Wives
Here comes the neighborhood - The Lawrence Arms
Androgynous - The Replacements
I'm on Fire- Bruce Springsteen
Take off your sunglasses - Ezra Furman and the Harpoons
Shelter from the storm - Bob Dylan

Not so endless

I already see summer coming to an end as I look at my work schedule. I hit the road in August then travel almost through Christmas. Los Angeles, Yuma for a MONTH! (that is shock not excitement), then Brazil??? We will see if that one happens. I feel another travel-burnout coming on.



At least I should get some surfing in down there in southern California.

I'm with Stu

Hey, show went well. I remembered all the words and everything. I even threw in a 'lil harmonica.




Briana found a new friend while doing the Bernie. I got a free cassette from one of the bands and a free pin from the other, erbody was real cordial.

Who knows... maybe I'll play another show soon?

Show Saturday!

Show starts at 7 PM!!!!

7pm Brock Donovan vs. Tyler & The Chillweavers
7:45 Swimsuit Addition
8:30 Merlin Wall
9:15 Automatic Lovers
10:00 Rodeo

So apparently I am vs Tyler's band. I don't know if that is a fair fight, I'm just one man ya know, so I'm trying to recruit some people to be my posse. We will be called Brocky Poppins and the Chimney Sweeps. I am making some pretty sweet Iron On Shirts for anyone who signs up.

Also they are having a merch table, at which I plan to sell some of my old star wars toys cause, well I don't have merch duh. Maybe I'll make a myspace music page. That's what real musicians do right. ;)

Chicago Weather

Traveling really takes me out of the Chicago weather phenomenons of clouds, rain, snow, and intense heat. It was 97degrees at 6:30pm yesterday. C'mon Chicago. I found this info-graphic pie chart that describes Chicago weather pretty well.

sick day

So I took today off. I think my sis got me sick when she was up last weekend. I slept for 13 hours and drank a bunch of tea. I also watch a bunch of Nova docs on Netflix. I think I'm gettin over this cold thing.

now if only the bulls could get over the Heat I'd be in tip top shape.



Schedule for the rest of the year:

Los Angeles CA August 15-26
Yuma AZ October 24-November 18
Brazil December 5-16

Brazil is still up in the air but it would be sweet if it happens!

Schaumburg IL

So I've been on a project in Schaumburg for the last two months. I'll be here for the next 5ish months. Then its off to Yuma AZ. If there is a 3:10pm flight I'm totally going to be on it. Thank god I'm going in October, summer in Yuma would be deadly to my fragile, pale, white skin.

Also my trip to Israel got pushed back again. I'm still a little weary about traveling to anywhere near the Middle-East. I'm really hoping Clinton can work out that whole mid-east-peace thing in the next few months. That's realistic right?



Why are you looking at me like that Adama?
