40 years of Bowie’s Space Oddity
Space oddity was originally released in 1969, the year I came screaming into the world. Well, this video is of Space Oddity, but an earlier version. There are a good bit of differences between this and the version most of us know.
Check it out and enjoy.
For me, Bowie does very little wrong, I just love the guy.
Cheers,

Helping the cause, Dave Carroll vs. United Airlines
This is funny and totally expected. The full story can be found at Dave’s Myspace page , but to summarize…
Dave Carroll was on tour with Sons of Maxwell and someone on their United flight noticed the flight crews were throwing guitars. They busted up Dave’s $3500 Taylor guitar in the process. After months of fruitless haggling with United, they basically told Dave to screw off.
Hey, wait a minute, isn’t this guy a musician?
Well, Dave told the last person he talked to, and who is immortalized in this song, that he was going to do three songs, and three videos of the affair. Here is the first.
$3500 for a new guitar that they destroyed, or who knows how much cleaning up the public relations mess. Yeah, United chose well.
Let’s get the views up on these videos to help the cause.
Cheers,

Busy is the New Black, At least in My Life
There is a saying, “If you want something done, task it to a busy person,” and that is not far from the mark.
These days, I have gone from a period of famine to full on feast, as it relates to freelance work. Gone are the days of floundering, trying to get something going.
There is a weird side condition to all this. Even though I am so much more busy, I am getting things done beyond the all new workload. Things that I technically should have had more time to do before this latest round of new work, but always thought I could not get done.
I guess it is a mindset. Being busy is very positive, while having nothing to do is very depressing. Go figure.
The old saying holds true, at least if my life experience is to be counted.
That being said, I have a new video up at Reaching for Lucidity Productions talking about my day, my jobs, what I am drinking, and so on. Check it out if you can.
There is actually a full post there, but the video gives something away that is not in the written part of the post. That info is, I have two new Rocket City Riot songs for the relaunch of RfL 2.0 which is coming in less than 7 days!
Like I said, it is easier to do things now that I am busy than back when I had nothing but time. RfL 2.0 and the animated series are coming back.
Man, it feels good to not be a gangster.
Cheers,
Eban
