The Barsh Report - August 2014
The Barsh Report - August 2014
Whatup to all my friends and neighbors!
Close upon us is the weekend of labor
School's about to start, so summer's remnants we gotta savor.
The beaches are still open, so pull out the body shaver
Take that last pill if you're a raver, play some tennis like Rod Laver
Get on that surfboard if you're a waver, or grab a waffle cone from 31 Flavors
Look at the bright side of fall's arrival-
Your sweaters and turtle necks will get a revival
Of NFL football we'll all get an eye-full
Airfare just got cheaper to visit Big Ben and the Tour Eiffel
And if you still need some summer, its always warm in LA
So join me and come west like Fievel
That being said, I'm headed back to New York for a 4-day spell
NYC, please be pleasant, not rainy or hot as hell
Cuz even though I get along without you very well
I enjoy traveling back to where I broke out of my shell
The reason for my trip is 2 shows with a new project I’ve mentioned before, called Van Ike
Our EP is finally done, after a year of flowing down the pike
It’s a cross between the dance music of the 70’s and 80’s, with some
Pharrell and Dwele soul
Spiced with some Hall and Oates and a modern twist, made into a tasty
musical sushi roll
We'll be making our East Coast debut at the James Hotel's Jimmy Pool
Party this coming Sunday
And 2 days later in Williamsburg at The Drink (we couldn't do just one day)
Exclusively for the Barsh Report: The first single off our upcoming
“Notes to Self” EP -
Okay Player's feature on our cover of Jhene Aiko’s haunting hit “The
Worst” (free download)
In addition to that, I’ve been having a great summer
Carrying a lot of creative weight, like an 8-passenger Hummer
I had the pleasure of working with Kendrick Lamar on tracks for his upcoming release
There's more great ideas in that guy's head than tax-free money at Credit Suisse
Shout to Rahki who brought me in and produced the sessions
When you get to write with such great talent, you got to count your blessin's
In my continually inspiring work with DJ Khalil at his studio compound
A variety of great artists have come to write with us downtown
Bonnie McKee, Paloma Faith, A$AP Ferg, 21 Pilots, Raleigh Richie and Fashawn
Have all blessed us with their talents, sometimes working halfway till dawn
The new Macy Gray album "The Way" produced by my close friend Royal Z
Includes 5 songs I played on and 1 co-written by me
I also played on albums by Amanda Brecker and Ethan Tucker
Both produced by Mario C, who is a bad motherf$#%er
I mentioned it before, and I’ll say it again
It’s not a matter of if, just a matter of when
Sid Sriram, a new artist who I’ve been working with, is winding up his first recording
He consistently blows it up in the studio, and through the rubble i’m left to sorting
Ok that’s it for now, I hope to see my NY friends this weekend at one of the events
And for the rest of you, don’t get too drunk you forget to pay your rents (or mortgages)
Love,
Barsh
