Ode to Tonight

Sotomayor is fun to say
The so, the to, the or, the may

North Korea’s missile tests
Go against the world’s requests

Cali courts blocks gay rights. Boo!
Except for those who’ve said “I do.”

In other news (please remain calm)
I’ve moved my site back to .com

Our show tonight is at Flipnotics
The beer is cheap; don’t bring narcotics

“It Wasn’t My Fault,” the title this week
Debuts for show, not for critique

Tell your friends about our tours
And “Sotomayor” to you and yours!

Twitter Week – 2009-05-19

  • Someone hacked my site! I feel violated. Google scolded me. I feel watched. But I fixed it myself. I feel accomplished. #
  • Got x-rays on my middle finger, having injured it 4 weeks ago. I’ve poured whiskey on it every day, but it isn’t getting better. Patience. #
  • @roblifford No, in a decidedly non-badass way, I fell down in the rain. I try not to run in the rain, but it’s so wet, and I’m like a cat. in reply to roblifford #
  • Switching from coffee to OJ this morning. Caffeine makes me (more) misanthropic, so it’s banned, but I can still enjoy acid in my tum-tum. #
  • I gotta do something creative to make $$$. Would anyone publish a new translation of the Bible…wait for it…that rhymes? #

Facebook Twitter & Bears. Oh My!

I have not taken the time to update everyone everywhere in quite a while, so the time is right for a Late Spring Information Deposit. I defy you to come up with a snappier title than that.

I shall forgo my usual rambling in lieu of some shows that many of you can attend and online stuff we can all enjoy together. I’m still having a grand ol’ time doing my thing, and I appreciate your support.

Citizens of Austin, Matt the Electrician & I continue our new Wednesday night series at Flipnotics on Barton Springs. They now have air conditioning and amazing beer specials during our show. The song title of the week is “I Had Breakfast with Your Girlfriend,” and we’ll start at 8.

Heads up, Houston (6/5), and Baton Rouge (6/6)! Matt & I are heading your way with our two-man acoustic spectacular. Find all the details at my Shows page.

Check out my brand new video for Fatty Arbuckle, track 4 from CRUELTY. It’s intimate, revealing, and homemade, like a celebrity sex tape! You can also see plenty of live performance videos at my YouTube page.

Yes, I’m finally on Facebook as a real person. Be my friend! Yes, I have finally joined Twitter, and I enjoy providing the occasional Tweet. Follow me! And yes, I am still on MySpace. Friends all around!

Finally, I invite you to visit my Music page. You can now listen to 50 of my recorded tunes in full for free. It’s a work in progress, and eventually, I’ll have an individual page for each song. That way, you can e-mail, blog, or twitter things like this: “You gotta hear this Southpaw Jones song ‘Everyman’! http://southpawjones.com/music/cruelty/everyman/ Just that easy, with lyrics too! You can also purchase MP3s and order CDs as usual. Try it out, tell your friends, and let me know if you have problems. I am my own webmaster, you know, steering my vessel further into the 21st Century. Hold me.

Thanks, as always, for reading and heeding,
Southpaw Jones
