Lyrical Alterna-Folk Music - Seth Asa - News http://sethasa.com/news.html Seth Asa: News Jannis' PHPRss class - http://www.jannis.to/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:13:36 -0800 2010 http://sethasa.com/news.html#46
It's a brand new year and I have fun news, beginning with the show at Terrapin Station. The fine folks there at 16th and Main will welcome us for my 35th Birthday Party on Wednesday, January 6. I'll be joined by Stitch Marker and Chris Cullinan. We'll play songs by Pretty Youth, Semi*Famous, and Hey My People (all my little projects). I hope to have a webcam for the night but I don't know yet.

The next business is Colt 45. No, not the drink. No, not the gun. No, not my song. THE ALBUM. It's coming. Material for Colt 45 will debut at the Birthday Concert.

A family member recently asked me if people would be more likely to celebrate my birthday with me if I didn't play my music at the party. My answer is this: I want to be playing my music on my birthday. If people want to listen, they'll be welcomed with open arms. If they don't want to listen, they will be lovingly missed. I'll be rocking, either way.

My albums and tapes and original music are how I mark my history. This is how I track my life. When people mention 1992, I think of my first multi-tracked project, "Weight of the World" and the bands Farm Dog, Boxcar, Elephant House Party, and Bean Supper. When people mention college, I think of "Walk Without Fear" and "All About Dolls" and "Souvenirs". When asked what I think about, worry about, or love, at any point in my life, one can simply 'compare my dreaming to the reel' for a cryptically-detailed answer, told in music.

When people ask why I use the period mark outside quotation marks or apostrophes, I remind them that this was proper until we invented the printing press and the period block kept breaking off.

The point is, I celebrate my life on my birthday. It many not be my career or my financial "living" but my music is my life. I'll continue to mark my time with my unknown bands and my unheard music. This is me. And in a few days, I'll be 35.

If you're in the Boise area, I hope you will drop by Terrapin Station to celebrate with me!
