A Crazy Week [updates]

So…what did YOU do last week? I am still sort of in shell shock from how much attention that Parks & Rec EP got. If you haven’t seen all the fuss, you should probably check it out, as it got featured in The Onion’s AV Club, SPIN, Time, Buzzfeed, NYMag’s Vulture Blog, and tons more places, including a personal tweet from Jim O’Heir (who plays Jerry) and Ben Schwartz (who plays Jean Ralphio). I think a big thank you goes out to my favorite TV critic/blogger Alan Sepinwall, who was honestly one of the first TV guys to tweet about it.

As a bonus, I swapped out the old “Waka Flocka Swanson” mp3 with a better, remastered version with some better samples and levels in it. You should download it. (MP3 link). Better believe “Waka Flocka Swanson” is now part of the live set.

I also got my official invitation to showcase at the legendary SXSW music festival, March 13-18 in Austin, TX. I have no details yet, but I do know that the nerdcore showcase is going to have such illustrious names as YTCracker, The ThoughtCriminals, and MegaRan! Other than the West Coast tour with Kirby Krackle, I am going to be touring the Southeast to SXSW with MegaRan & Willie Evans Jr. in early March as well. Tour dates are listed here.

As if that wasn’t enough, my new album, You Dare Call That Thing Human?!?, is going to be featured in Diamond Comics Distributors’ Previews February 2012 catalog. This is the catalog that all comic retailers order from. Check for it in the Geek Grab Bag section, as well as the Collectibles & Novelties section. All orders will receive an exclusive Jemma Salume print poster, not available ANYWHERE else. So when you order your comics from your local shop, drop an order for my album as well! Anyone who sends me a pic of their order form will get an immediate digital download as well, since Previews solicits orders ahead of time.

New free track, and most likely the last free track I release for a while (due to the new album dropping and touring), posting tomorrow. Tracklist of the album posting this week. Get excited! February 13!!!
