Alright y'all, finally back in NYC for a spell after most of 2 months gone

Been a crazy series of 4 trips, i barely had time to yawn

 

I think already wrote about mexico, i left my heart there in a tequila bottle

And the Brand New Heavies east coast tour was no less than full-throttle

Following that i spent 2 weeks in chi doing heavy marketing and studio work

With my girl Jesse Palter, such a great person ( i guess as her Alter Ego that makes me a jerk...)

 

The Mi-Sam-mi tour had great shows and clinics, and the weather was far from harsh

Spent my free days on SoBe and on a killa boat trip; might have to change my name to sandbar-sh

Shout to Chad, Rodolfo and Reuben, who hooked up that trip real nice

Wasn't sure what to expect from MIA, but it was a fruitful roll of the dice

Also did a hott session at DJ Le Spam's incredible studio

And exercized my Spanish; de verdad, una buenissima tiempo tuve yo

 

After a few days back in NYC, having had no time to recover yet

I cut out to LGA thanksgiving morning and headed on another jet

Ran into 4 friends on the flight to Chitown, and commenced drinking at 2PM central

A good remedy for all the travel-induced moodswings (i was starting to feel kinda menstrual)

 

After a nice T-giving catching up with fam and friends, which was notably quite cool

I hit up the 10-year reunion of my alma mater, New Trier Township High School

Me and some old musical homies threw together a set of tasty numbers

And played for and caught up with some childhood friends, none of whom became plumbers

Which was a bit suprising, since back in the day, alot of those New Trier types

Were notorious for knowing their way around all sorts of bowls and pipes

 

Now i'm back in my home city grinding out some gigs and sessions

And some meetings and a showcase with the Alter Ego where we plan to make splendid impressions!

 

Thus, on Friday December 11, a long-awaited happening

Jesse Palter and the Alter Ego back in NYC and doing our DAMN thing!

Our live show is Hottastic and we're ready to unleash the beast

Plus we got 3 new tracks 'bout in the can and ready to be released

 

Throw in a couple spicy covers of some classic 80's jams

And you'll be shakin your hips, synching your lips, and kicking your denim-clad gams

It's an early-ish affair, 7pm to be precise

So get your work done early and scurry out like horny mice

Cuz this show is gonna be way more than nice!

 

And on the real, a super deal, the Alter Ego EP is still avail for "pay what you feel"

I know alot of you have truly been fronting, instead of swinging hard you've been merely bunting

Listening online but not downloading, like owning guns but never hunting

You dont gotta pay much or anything at all, but anything, a penny or a huge windfall

Will go towards the completion of our next batch of finished tunes

The musical version of your fave cereal, just consider your ears as spoons

 

so holler at http://www.palterego.com 

 

or i'll call your mom

 

 

 

Aight peeeples, till the next time

Enjoy your gingerbread lattes and anticipate the next rhyme

Now that thats out of the way

Im gonna rhyme out exactly what i'm meaning to say

Barsh report # I-don't-know, but it dont really matter

Whats important is that like a Pollock canvas, upon you my rhymey-art i splatter

It has been a great fall replete with both winter and summer weather

From the sunny skies of Mexico where theres no need to wear leather

To the freezing tundra of Chitown and the Northeast US

Which has lately been requiring decidedly winter dress

Did a 10-day tour with Rick Parker and Hernan Hecht in our neighbor to the south

Mexican audiences were awesome, and the food was a party in my mouth

Made a bunch new fans, and even gave a couple clinics speaking in spanish

And despite the rumors of kidnappers galore,  i succeeded not to vanish

Jesse Palter and I are working hard on our next batch of four songs

TBR (to be recorded) soon, with hopes they'll make an impact like King Kong's

Though more constructive than the big ape, we dont wanna destroy cities

We'd much rather be the soundtrack for record label committees

So as i write now from the hometown of Bam Margera of Jackass

On tour with the Brand New Heavies, getting ready to smack-ass

Tonight at a venue called the Note

They should rename the concert "Murder She Wrote"

Cuz the band has been KILLING the last few shows

Along with my horn playing bros

Teodross Avery and Maurice Brown

shits been hott in every town

NYC was an MCfest, with a double-dose of legit

Pharaohe Monch and Sadat X came and hit the stage to spit

Were hitting the northeast this week, then ending in Chitown

Gonna make like the O'Leary cow and burn the jointt down!!

 

Once I return to the Chi, i will be there for a chunk of time

Recording with Jesse and doing our show on Nov 2, which will be sonically sublime

Then i will head to southeast Florida to make a very Barshy cameo

Adjust your maps, cuz they may be renaming it Mi-Sam-mi, yo!

Thats all for now.

sincerely, the O'Leary's cow
