So we’re in the process of trying to get some of our music up on the Rock Band Network.
The question is, what song(s) should be there? We can’t put them all up—that would take too long, and several of them are not very good. And some songs, while fun, are not very “Rock Band”-able. (For example, “The Captain’s Wife’s Lament” and “Nun Fight“, while a blast, are mostly just vocals, making things very boring for the people playing bass and drums)
So we turn to you, dear readers: please take a minute to look at the following poll. We’ve chosen a few of what we think are our most RB-friendly songs; let us know which (if any) you’d like to see on the Rock Band Network. Or feel free to suggest other songs. (Only ones we’ve written, please)
UPDATE: Please note, “Opening Band” is already available on Rock Band.
A note from Paul:
So I turn 40 tomorrow. (Hooray for me.) As it turns out, my devious (read: wonderful) wife planned a surprise party for me this past weekend. As part of this celebration, my life partner Storm put together this awesome birthday video for me.
While I’m never very good at sincerity, I genuinely wish to thank all our friends who took part, and the many more who couldn’t but sent their well-wishes. (Hey, Hodgman: still waiting on that pen you promised me) If a man must get a year older every 365 days (give or take), this is the way to do it.
And SUPER-THANKS to Storm, who spent a lot of time assembling this thing. Also: watch your back, Swarthy Stage-Left Man; you’re next.
So please enjoy; it’s about 19 minutes long, but well worth your time if you like funny things.
Thanks, everyone!

(P.S. Trying this new Wordpress 2.9+ “auto-embed” thing; in theory, the video should appear just below this text; let us know if you can’t see it)
The seventy-sixthrd episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online. And it’s a looooong one!
This week’s SOOPER-SIZED, extra-special episode: a rare “in the same room” podcast in (of all places) a casting office, along with good friends Kim Evey (producer of “The Guild” and star of “Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show“) and Greg Benson (of the hilarious Mediocre Films); scallions and spring onions; childhood near-death experiences are dwelt upon; pitying child actors; adventures in miscasting; Paul climbs up his own arse again, but turns it around and climbs up Kim’s & Greg’s instead; paying attention to comments (or not); viral videos (boobs);
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: Should we put up the video of the four of us sitting in a room?

Hey, kids: February 23rd is Spay Day, the Humane Society’s annual campaign to inspire people to save animal lives by spaying or neutering their pets and feral cats. It is a cause near and dear to our hearts (yes, we do have hearts), so please spread the word!
In celebration of the holiday, we offer our song “Lose the Gonads” for ABSOLUTELY FREE! Please feel free to download it and share it with all your friends—we just ask that you please share the link to the Humane Society’s Spay Day page at the same time.
Enjoy, and please spay and neuter your pets!

Now you can show the world that you’re not afraid of being eaten by a giant pickle, or maybe that you are, or perhaps that you simply enjoy pickles. It’s up to you!
Using three different designs from Uncle Storm’s animated children’s story, “The Five Little Pickles” (artwork by Len Peralta), range of shirt styles and colors is available, including some just…FOR THE LADIES.
Also available as a stylish mug.
You can browse the three options in our CafePress Store, cleverly labelled Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3.
Just a reminder: our show tonight in AZ is no longer at the Martini Ranch, but has been moved to Madcap Theatres in Tempe, AZ. All tickets purchased for the Martini Ranch show will be honored. Full details here.
See you tonight, Desert People!
With the help of art from our good friend Len Peralta, we’re proud to present our first complete ‘toon, “The Five Little Pickles”, as originally heard on our podcast “Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (on Average)”.
Watch in native Flash (best quality*), or on YouTube (could potentially generate us some revenue).
And of course it’s released under a Creative Commons license, so share the joy!
* HOWEVER: if you have a slow monitor (like Storm does), you may experience some lag if the video window is blown up large.
The seventy-fifthst episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s rather introspective episode: we recount our Texas adventures (both culinary and travelary) and respective health setbacks; salsa and Paul’s travel luck; mutual bitchin’ about snow, and a tortured metaphor; embarrassing moments involving Al Haig and flying beer (not necessarily both at the same time); and a super-secret (shhh!) announcement about the next w00tstock shows. Also, werewolves, and Paul’s phone rings.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: whom would you suggest as possible guests for our upcoming Seattle and Portland w00tstock shows?

A couple weeks ago, we shot a video with the very funny Greg Benson, Kim Evey and some homeless fellow to promote YouTube’s Ad Blitz 2010.
