VOIVOD AND BEYOND
Please note that this is a large file size. A high speed connection is preferred.
First of all, its another Camp Freddy Radio show tonight, with yours truly. And I believe that Donovan will be joining me as well, although I'm not 100% on that one. But I do know that Jason Newsted and Voivod will be coming by for a while as guests. Should be a lot of fun. We'll see if we can get Jason's perspective on the whole Supernova thing while he's hanging out with us. And I am sure that they will bring some of the new Voivod for us to play. Indie 103.1 FM from 6pm to 8pm people.
As you will see, I've also thrown together another V-Blog of a few clips from Circus Diablo rehearsals. And with the help of a friend, we are trying to get this site onto I-Tunes. Once its all working properly, all you will have to do is click on the RSS 2 feed on the right hand side of this page, paste the link into your I-Tunes (under 'Subscribe To Podcast') and VOILA - the CFR podcasts and the V-Blogs will appear in your I-Tunes!!! At least that is the plan. Right now, it doesnt work!! But we are waiting for the page in I Tunes to appear and fixing a couple of bugs - I'll let you know when its all sorted out. Eventually, you will be able to search Podcasts in I Tunes for Billy Morrison, and get the latest stuff right there. Very cool ..... if we get it working!!!
Dave posted on his Blog about the tracks that Camp Freddy have been working on recently, so I presume its ok to talk about all that!! The movie is a Lions Gate film, called Employee Of The Month, and it stars Dax Sheppard and Jessica Simpson! We have finished three tracks, of which two will make the movie and the soundtrack album. One is Cheap Tricks Surrender, and the other is a choice between 20th Century Boy and Jean Genie. The tracks came out really well, and when we have a release date for the movie (and the soundtrack album) you will, of course, be the first to know!!
Simon - I dont really want to get into the details right now. Nothing is in stone, but I am working with some people and it does involve covering a few things in my life and shooting bits and pieces of footage. After that, who knows.
Carly - A book about my life could be three sentences long!! "I was really fucked up. Then I got better and started to have a life. Now its awesome and I'm really happy!!" The End. No - in all seriousness, one day I will do it. There's a few more chapters to include first, though!
Mary - Great question. And the answer is that I get different kinds of satisfaction from different things. Being creative is what I love the most. But playing with some of the worlds best artists is also a huge high. So I am fortunate enough to get the best of both worlds.
Redpill - I prefer Standards, mainly for the way they look. They also tend to weigh a little less than a custom. The headstock is different. I also like the 60's slimmer profile neck. However, I have a couple of Standards that were built by the Custom shop for me - I guess you could call them Custom Standards!!! - and THEY are the best guitars I own.
Right - its Saturday, and I need to get on. Hopefully the I Tunes Podcast thing will happen next week, and the Street Team info will also be posted next week, along with the rest of the August dates. Have a great weekend everyone, and thank you all for being a part of the family here. August 5th Camp Freddy show is around the corner and so are the Diablo dates. Lovin' it!!!.

Billy,
found you on youtube!

Hi Billy,
I haven't stopped by for awhile, but after watching the new v-blog, I just wanted to say how amazing and heavy you guys sound already. Seems some others have gotten that in ahead of me, lol, but IMO, good compliments can never be enough :)
After watching this, I truly cannot wait to see what's in store for us live with all the dynamic energy between you all. Long live true Rock + Roll! Now get your asses out to the east coast one of these days! :D

Wow..I haven't posted here in a long time.
Last time I recall there was talk about people that wear socks with their sandals.
Loving the video clips!
