Blogging Rock Stars
I am currently helping a couple of Canadian rock star friends- former Our Lady Peace guitarist Mike Turner and Rubber/Harem Scarem guitarist Pete Lesperance- set up a blog about the process leading up to their new band Fair Ground's first radio single at the end of June. The daily confessions will allow us plebes to experience life through the eyes of two busy rock star/producers. Not only have they forsaken any multi-national record company's help, they are doing absolutely everything themselves, from writing, recording and producing in their own studios, to releasing the record.
The coolest thing is the way they plan to chose the first radio single. You- the people- will be allowed to vote which of 4 songs will become the single. In essence, they are putting big music industry decisions in the hands of everyday people. It's so fucking cool.
But I need your help.This whole thing is about word of mouth, and you all have mouths so... Also, if you would be willing to put up a banner on your site I would be forever indebted- and you know what that means: Sexual favours from famed in-the-bedroom erotic tornado K-Dough- in the flesh, fully greased and coming on a waterbed near you!!!!
E-mail me if you can possibly help get the word out or would be willing to bannerize yourself! The blog goes live Monday, June 5. But K-Dough readers can take an exclusive peak at the under construction shell here. There is a link on the blog page leading to Fair Ground's myspace profile where you can also check out some of the songs. Oh yeah, and I'd love it if you would set up a feed or register for e-mail updates as well!!!
If you are a blogger, and would like to do a short interview with the guys it can be aranged as well. It would not only help to boost your hits but it would help spread the word.
Now go forth and tell anyone you know about this my pretties. Pretty please?
Love and French-kisses, K-Dough

And they play good ol' Canadian reggae with a twist of Paul Simon African beats?
They are really good. We were talking about Harem Scarem not long ago, watching a Rubber DVD. Sounds exciting and I'm sure they will be successful. I hadn't heard of this new band but I'll send this to everyone.
Welcome back to the dark side K-Dough. Not the Chuckercanuck Neo Con dark side, the REAL one. Your day of self-mutilation yesterday was only the beginning.
Having said that, anything that completely removes record company weasels from the process should get everyone's undying support.
Hell, I'd start my own site just for them had Pete not passed me by on his short-list all them years back ;)
leather- lol.
Pam- thanks sweetie!!!!!!!
jdog: you don't know until you pull one on... then you'll realize the fantastic-ness associated with the sweatervest.
Maybe I'll suggest FairGround write a song called 'Ode to a Sweatervest'.
Peter,
Sweatervest guys are supposed to be into Jazz. Preferably free-form.
As such, you must NOT listen to anything that is not atonal or anything resembling the 4/4 time signature favoured by the boneheaded masses. You must also squint your eyes and furrow your brow while analyzing whether or not an artist is worthy of your learned assessment.
I do also hope that you're working on your "Jazz Muzzle"...an affectionate term for the slightly patchy/pubic growth surrounding your upper lip/lower chin zone.
If you're gonna do it, do it right!
he already has a jizz muzzle, umm, I mean jazz.
what the hell?
my dark side is verily dark. neo-cons are the darkest force in nature - supernatural, even.
and we have the best guitar licks in town - like this one:
beuy - be- be- beuy - bzoonng.
CC: stop ripping off Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure licks!!!!
Weedily weedilly weediliy
okay, how 'bout me in a cokney accent on a documentary saying:
"so I was at the drums doing psft, psft, dum-d-d-dum. and Barry was on guitar making a sort of zing, zang, zing. We put it all together and twenty minutes later a platinum single was born."
give me a haggard, drug-abused look and the whole thing is multo autentico.
Sorry Chucker, but I so associate you with the "handsome" Harper now, that I can only picture the PM himself playing the guitar.
Definitely doesn't work.
What instrument would Harper play? hmm....oh I got it! The meat whistle.
Skin Flute
Ha! Seriously though- I think he is more of a good ole spoons on the knee boy. Maybe a rare washboard (not under his shirt though!)
If he played an instrument at all, I bet it was a trumpet.I am see him, sweaty upper lip, blowing his horn.
I bet that's how he picked up all the chicks.
An awesome date rape drug joke just slipped from my grasp becauseI'm scared of being sued. But use your imaginations!
Pam,
We all know that drummers get the first pick, however, if Harper plays a mean tromboner he's got a shot.
J-Dog, think of the stamina one could build up though. One could have porn-star quality lasting power.
That reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when Elaine was dating the trumpet player that wouldn't do "everything".
JDog said "blowing ones horn as a means to pick up chicks?"
Dude- if it wasn't for that I would have never accomplished the pillaging I've enjoyed in the past!
BTW- speaking of blowing my own horn- if you look directly under my posts on my main page now there is a link that says "Recommend This Post". You will be greatly helping me by taking a second to simply click that link after reading my posts. It helps keep my post on the main page of Progressive Bloggers, so more people can see me.
Of course, again, sexual favours for anyone who helps.
Harper plays banjo. Its populist, its bluegrassroots. The ladies swoon because he's the fastest pick West of Picton.
East of Picton, he contends with the lightning ukelele of Chuckercanuck.
ps. I have a FEVER for more cow bell.
I make no bones about that. I'm shameless, but at least I'm out there baby!
No Chucker,
The ladies swoon because he's the FATTEST pick west of Picton.
lol, leather.
Ah, K-dough, I have a soft spot for shameless blog hoes.
DING DING DING
I'd have to say that fair ground is the winner.
I second that...now, for God's sake can we move on. It's only a matter of time before we have Harper in spandex. Oh shit, too late.....need Kleenex for my little puke-burp...
Sorry Pam- that FG comment was actually me. Can't be speaking out of the mouths of others like that. It's hard ebough speaking for K-Dough - umm, I mean me.
Here it is again:
Stephen Harper: The FATTEST prick east of the Pacific coast!
put Harper in spandex and I lose a wife.
How about Sheila Copps and Deb Gray in spandex, dirt-wrestling each other? (The mud comes about half-way tho8gh the event.)
Chucker, I knew you would leave her for Harper the minute he got a bit sexual...no surprise there.
K-Dough,
That image just gave me a woody. Is that wrong?
Ah man... I just ate lunch. Your all sick. Sick I tell you. Whoops, time for my colonic.
I wouldn't leave my wife for Harper - he's already said he's against SSM, and I'll be damned if I leave my wife for someone unwilling to make a commitment.
Well... at the rate he's gaining weight, Stephan should have a fine set of tits in another year... would that change your mind? He wouldn't be the opposite sex, but you know... turn out the lights.
and don't sit in his lap.
An overweight, conservative in spandex???
Well, you've done it. You've killed my sex drive.How am I going to get that image out of my mind???
Would you like me to send you some pics of me Pam? A lean, mean, tory machine. That will kick you back into gear:) Unless your opposed to body hair.
Myron Thompson Myron Thompson Myron Thompson
Okay, I'm in the same boat as Pam now... Sheena, you redheaded beastiegirl... how could you throw Myron in there.
JC,
By quoting "You're in the same boat now" you're contributing to royalties for Bob Rae. You are helping the Liberals now. BUAH ha-ha-ha...
Hey man, do these guys know you're an anti-union yahoo?
hmmm...
AnonyWuss: I'm anti-union because I think public transit should be an essential service?
No, but I am anti-stupid.
It's my duty to help liberals Leather... Help them see the error of their ways that is. Heh.
Where the hell is everybody?
I'm staying in a hotel with WAX LIPS in the mini bar for $2.50 US and nobody give a shit?
eh?
You're joking, right?
http://www.sweetnostalgia.com/waxlips.html
LMAO,
I must have had a mental block. You are a stronger woman than I am. I would have hit the mini bar, downed a little shitty, cold red wine and played with the wax lips by now.
They are calling you...can you hear them???SHHHEEEENNNAAAA
Well....
2 out of 3 ain't bad, Pam.
The night is still young.
True enough. And this Rosé Brut is really fucking lovely.
I can't imagine Harper being a drummer because drummers are cool and Harper is not. He can't be a guitarist either. He can't be anything because he doesn't have any kinf of muscial talent.
Oh by the way k-dough, since my sister is a big fan of rock music, I can do some public service on her behalf. Tell me were is the code for adding it to my blog and I will spread the word of the blog to my sister who will then spread it to her friends.
Sheena - I marvel.
How is it you get to stay in such lovely hotels?
Nary a Travelodge or Courtyard Marriott in your life.
All in due time, Chucker.
O Mi-God! Sheena is Brian Tobin!
Oh yeah...that was actually "all in GOOD time....sorry, false alarm.
lol!!!!!

I've left a couple of new comments in the posts below. Sorry for being out of touch.
Pam, if you're sex drives in the dumps, just think of ANDERSON COOPER, the hottest man since a young Paul Newman. If that doesn't work, then it's time to get yourself measured for a coffin.
Yes, he's hot but he's not my type. He reminds me of my husband...
Where have you been lately, homo?
This site is one of the best I have ever seen, wish I had one like this.
