Singing on TWiT Live in Las Vegas

I finally have some video of my appearance on TWiT Live at the New Media Expo’08 in Las Vegas.

Thanks to Charles and Dayna for posting these:

The Rose Remix is up on iTunes!!!

Its been two and a half years since I released the song “Rose” on my record Geoff Smith and the Tonewheels.

Yes, it was inspired by the character, Rose, from the new version of Doctor Who on the BBC. I tried to take my Ben Folds piano pop approach and mix it with some vaugue sci fi references and came up with a cool little pop song. At least I tried to.

Anyway, it is 2008 and I have remixed the song and it was first released on my Ones and 0s Dynamic Subscription album.  When you subscribe the the record, a whole year’s worth of bonus material comes automatically delivered to you straight to iTunes as an RSS feed (like a podcast).

It is also now on iTunes. It is the same song, just remixed in a bit more modern fashion. I am really proud of this song and I hope you go check it out. 

 

Forth Bonus Track release

I have just released the fourth update to the Ones and 0s album which is a members only version of “Loneliness for Two (Live)”.

 

This is a live video recording of me performing in a 7 min long special version of the song with support from his band at a show in St Louis, MO. The trumpet player showed up that night with his horn and just sat in with my band. It was quite a fun night. I’ll be posting lots more footage from that night.

 

New Media Expo 2008

Well, I must say it was quite the whirlwind trip. I jumped on the plane at 6am, finally getting to Las Vegas, checked into the hotel and the hurried over to the Las Vegas Convention center with my trusty acoustic guitar.

No sooner had I caffeinated myself at the starbucks next door, I was whisked away to the www.twitlive.tv booth where I got to hang out with none other than Leo Laporte. We talked about my new record, the state of independent music, etc and then I played a few tunes, like “I’m a TWiT” and “Ones and 0s”. I even snuck in a few bars of “Message in a Bottle” when he asked me about my role in my Police Tribute band.

It was so cool and I must say, Leo is very very good at making you feel very much at ease, while we went out live in front of thousands on his live stream.

The rest of the day was even more crazy. I got to meet more influential new media icons and finally got to put faces and handshakes to friends I already have known for years.

This being my third New Media Expo, I knew where I had to be in the evening. After a quick meetup at the Revision 3 party, I hustled over to the show to see Natalie Gelman, Chance, Jonathan Coulton, and the ever so awesome, Richard Cheese. Good times for sure.

Chris Marquardt helped me shoot some scenes for my upcoming video blog for RingtoneFeeder. 

Then I got up the next morning and many hours later, got back to Nashville.

Whew. Nice to see that we are still keeping at this crazy thing called New Media and Podcasting and Independant Music.

 

Here is a shot of me singing at the TWiT Live booth.

 

Third Bonus Track Released-Rose (Remix)

This week I wanted to release a cool remix version of my old song, Rose, which originally was featured on “Geoff Smith and the Tonewheels“.  Rose has always been a favorite of my fans and mine too actually. So I am really happy to have this cool remix out for everyone to hear. You can get it on the Dynamic Version of Ones and 0s. 

I was really excited when I saw all the fan videos to this song showing up on You Tube a few years ago. Yes the song has some hits of Doctor Who references in it, that was intentional. And the videos really brought it to life.

Here is a link to some of the videos that have been made based off the original version of the song
