BIRTHDAY BOY

I described myself recently as an Oxymoron .... a punk rock brain in a new age body! And today, on my birthday, I feel closer to that analogy than ever before. The shit that rattles around between my ears could get me arrested, and I am fucking glad that its only me that hears it all!! And yet I strive on a daily basis to be more loving, more caring, more creative ..... to look after myself and to actually care about other people. When I was 20, it was only luck (and probably the Big Guy Upstairs) that kept me from dying a very unceremonious and messy death in an alley somewhere - and now, in what seems like a completely different life, I wake up on my birthday with a craving for life. I have more in my life than I ever thought possible.... and I am not talking about the amount of sneakers I own!! I'm talking about family, friends, career, opportunities, love, respect etc. So I suppose what I am getting at, is that no matter WHERE you are in your life, or what you THINK is happening, there is ALWAYS room to change, grow, shift your perspective and start over. Just a thought. That tends to happen on birthdays! As well as the consumption of a few pints of Ben And Jerrys!!! YES.

OK - so what's the news? Well as you will see by the post below this one, I am appearing at the Fangoria three day Convention at the LA Convention Center in April. I will be heading up a panel from one of the movies that I did last year, EVILUTION, which seems to be getting some nice buzz about it. Not really sure what being 'on a panel' actually means, but it sounds very important!! Haha! I am just glad to be able to help promote the film - it meant a lot to me that I got to do it, and I look forward to hanging out with all the horror genre fans down there.

The Camp Freddy charity show at The Knitting Factory is shaping up nicely. I know the tickets are going pretty quickly - its on March 14th and the tickets are $35, available from the venue box office, or from www.knittingfactory.com. We have a few friends lined up already and I think we'll be delivering a nice rocking set that night. Come down, support a great cause and see some killer rock and roll at the same time. Good deal.

I am also happy to say that the new BILLY MORRISON SNOCAP store is available by ...... yep......clicking on the STORE button! If it gets good response, I will be adding more tracks to the store. Right now there are nine unreleased Stimulator tracks up there - go check it out. Its also up on my new MySpace profile - www.myspace.com/billymorrisonmusic. The tracks are from the unreleased Stimulator album and although a few of the tracks from that album were put up by me for free a while back, you can now purchase the rest of the album by visiting the store and creating a simple SNOCAP account. Its easy. So do it!!

Camp Freddy Radio is live tonight - and even though our very own Paul is here in LA right now (I know, cos we ran into each other at the Velvet Revolver show the other night!) he tells me he is gonna record the show as usual. We all appreciate his efforts. Tonight I have actor Dax Shepard coming in to hang out, play music, take calls, and give away a signed DVD or two. Mr Matt Sorum is also threatening to swing by, so we have the makings of an epic show!! Tune in at 6.00pm on 103.1FM or www.indie1031.fm on the web. I'm off to put my playlist together. See you lot soon.

Peace

Billy
