Southpaw Jones

Happy Cold Time to you! I’d like to take this opportunity to update everyone who has ever heard of me: members of my e-mail list, myspace friends, and readers of the Southpaw Jones Gazette. 2007 is rapidly drawing to a close, and I have a great deal to complain about.

First of all, why can’t I spend all day staring at my own web site? Now that southpawjones.com and southpawjones.net are combined into one powerful force, I’m more in love than ever. I update every single weekday with randomness, quotes, rhyme puzzles, and more. Please stop by in lieu of working or googling.

Secondly of awl, with a closet full of my own CDs, I am unable to experience the joy of ordering a handful of them. The pleasure of online ordering via PayPal, the anticipation, and the prompt arrival of a homemade package with sweet freebies inside! I envy you, dear reader. If nothing else, I’d love to snatch up the fresh new collaboration with Matt the Electrician, Playing: Live at Café Mundi. It’s only $9.99! If I were a civilian, I’d order a few at http://www.southpawjones.net/cds/
and stuff some adult stockings with them.

I also might opt for MP3s via iTunes or SNOCAP.

Thirdlicious, why is it that I always perform live on the radio, ruining my chances to hear myself broadcast in my car? I had a great time appearing with Spike Gillespie on KUT earlier this week. While that show is not yet archived, you can hear my previous visit to Studio 1A here:

I performed Sewing Machine, Fatty Arbuckle, Everyman, Porous Head, and Legitimate Film. Precious!

Quadrupely, why can I not mount an artful nude photo of my/the boy band Cedar Fever in every courthouse in the tri-state area? It’s a beautiful shot of OTE, the Mazz, Joey P, and Cuddly Paw in midair, and it appears in the Still Naked: 2008 Calendar. Other featured Austin artists include Dale Watson, Kinky Friedman, and Anna Egge, and the proceeds benefit ACMAWF, the Austin Children of Musicians, Artists and Writers Fund. You can order a copy or six here:

Finally, sweet mercy, why to I have to wait until tonight, later this month, and beyond to perform live music for fellow Texans?
AUSTIN, you know Matt the Electrician and I are hitting you hard every Thursday in December at Flipnotics @ the Triangle.
DALLAS, we’ll see you Dec. 14 at Opening Bell Coffee.
HOUSTON, we’ll return to the legendary Anderson Fair on February 8, 2008.
Full details below!

It’s been a good year, 2007. Feels very modern, very “now.” What’s in store for 2008? My guess is more songs, maybe a new SPJ CD, and affordable flying cars. Thanks for spending part of your holiday season reading about me and mine.

Stay cool,
Southpaw
