  • @sifelaver Dude, I provided a bit.ly right to the song, whether or not you tweeted like a schoolgirl was entirely up to you ;) in reply to sifelaver #

  • Does anyone know of a WordPress word cloud plugin? I can only find tag cloud ones, at the moment. I want a cloud of actual words in posts. #
  • PS: Also seeking a plugin/widget that will display "posts from X years ago" automatically. #
  • Check out this amazing 10-year statistic: I have posted *107* original songs to my blog in 10 years. That's 10 albums' worth of songs! #

  • @wockerjabby You will not regret a binding machine. I feel like half of your supply stress always comes from how to collect papers. in reply to wockerjabby #
  • A brisk day of work, followed by a @filmstarband rehearsal, packing, and heading to a gig in NY tomorrow morning. Ah, the life. #
  • @seesawshuffle Oh, I hear you there. I sometimes feel ostracized as a musician because I do not want to jam into the wee hours ;) in reply to seesawshuffle #

  • Is it weird that I was compelled to interrupt a man having his lunch to say his Wanamaker's bag made my day? #
  • Need to get in the zone for a big meeting – blasting @mozellamusic on headphones while I get centered. #

  • Seem to have developed a white-hot-poker-through-the-lungs sort of muscle pain in my lower back. Pain scale of 6-7 when trying to inhale. #
  • Oh, Cricket. I will 1 day believe your advertising claims when I can connect to the internet for a single second anywhere in the state of NY #
  • Back pain has settled into a comfortable 4 on the pain scale; I think it's from the standing up straight while playing a heavier instrument. #
  • (As opposed to typically leaned slightly forward over a relatively light acoustic guitar.) #
  • @johhnny5 @anniemal If there wasn't something to attribute it to i'd be much more worried, but it is so very clearly related to bass playing in reply to johhnny5 #
  • @THEkrismohfanz I could SERIOUSLY use a visit to a chiro. I used to go regularly, but haven't in yrs. Have to check to see how it's covered. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
  • In other news, 1st gig w/ @filmstarband was hot & mega-fun, but I'm clearly not a bassist (even though I have a good time impersonating one) #
  • @mymelisma thanks! It was a pretty low key gig, and a lot of fun. How about you? Did you debut the songs you were learning w/ your husband? in reply to mymelisma #
  • @SarahRobinson the heath chips they have there are serious business – massive hunks, not the tiny ones you get for baking in reply to SarahRobinson #
  • @zaneology no, I have to look into them! I love the ease of flip for rehearsal recording, but the video wasn't ideal for editing purposes. in reply to zaneology #
  • At the point we're on our 3rd trip to Home Depot to pick up free blue paint swatches, doesn't it make sense to just take EVERY blue swatch? #
  • (Apparently not, if you're my wife. Luckily, I am here too.) #

But I Regress, pt. 1

With the launch of my monster definitive guide to collecting X-Men comic books as graphic novels, I have officially become a fifteen year-old.

Allow me to explain. Or, to begin to, as I’m sure this is a multiple-post-spanning story (just as that website feature was a multiple-month spanning obsession to research).

A few months ago Philly-local social media mover/shaker/sandwich-connoisseur @MikeyIl threw a series of events for the Ford #FiestaMovement. One of them was an all-local art show, featuring work by my partner-in-fame Britt Miller, as well as Eddidit and others.

Being Britt’s unpaid intern / personal assistant / life coach and a faithful supporter of friends and local artists, I got my ass there – even though the event was smack in the middle of negotiating the price of our house with our Realtor over the phone.

(Literally. Drunk friends: “What are you doing?” Me, to phone: “Hold on a second.” Me, to friends: “Oh, I just got another few thousand dollars knocked off the price of our house.” Drunk friends: “Wowwww.”)

Where was that fateful art show held?

Brave New Worlds. A comic book shop.

Here at Crushing Krisis I haven’t ever fully explained my addiction to comic books, c. 11/1991 – 4/1996.

X-Men #24, one of my favorite comic covers.

It was a brief but tumultuous affair. Comic books combine my love of serial narrative with an OCD urge to make meticulous, alphabetical lists. They created a 10-year-old who would do anything to earn $40 a month to pick up every book bearing the image of Wonder Woman or an X-Man.

(Seriously, I’m surprised I wasn’t peddling coke for my neighbor. It’s a good thing my guitar habit didn’t get to drug-running levels of expense until after college, when I was salaried.)

For only collecting for four-and-a-half years, my comic collection is prodigious. Not only did I collect new issues weekly, but in the pre-spreadsheet days the adolescent OCD Godzilla in my soul – a mere tadpole, at the time – compiled lists of back issues by hand… lists twenty and thirty pages long, complete with estimated budgets and timelines for purchase. Every few months my father engaged my whim, and I checked off line after line.

I was hardcore. The guys at the comic store treated me like I was twice my age (now ironic) because I was so on top of my shit with my pull lists and my back issue pricing and my discussions of the Magneto’s morality and if the ends truly justified the means.

Then came the internet. AOL dial-up cost by the hour, and I was hooked on it within minutes of my first sign-in in January of 1996. Four months later my wallet issued an ultimatum: limit my internet usage, or jettison my comic addiction – now complicated by Marvel’s 90s’ decadence of holographic covers and limited series.

The real decider was probably a demo of Warcraft II, a living digital board of Risk I could play over and over again with my friends over my 14.4 baud modem.

I dropped the comics and never looked back.

Until last month.

(To be continued! In the meantime, if you’re a closet x-fan who wouldn’t know a pull list from their elbow, check out definitive guide to collecting X-Men comic books as graphic novels – the easiest (and cheapest) way to be an adult comic book fan.)

@BrandiNeloms So very true. Your credibility in a crisis can never be higher than your credibility on a regular, boring day. in reply to BrandiNeloms #

Sometimes a day is awesome only by the grace of my amazing hair. #

Verizon = poor SM support integration. Spent a week chatting w/Twitter rep, phone rep has no record of it. Taking me through the same steps #

I’m not sure what to think about someone who has a full color portrait of Freddy Krueger tattooed on his calf. #

Awesome video of my Philly music friend @ChristieLenee impromptu jamming w/Tim Reynolds (yes, occasionally of DMB)http://vimeo.com/12025218 #

I think @ChristieLenee is possibly the best guitarist I’ve met in Philly, both for chunky acoustic stuff and hot guitar leads. She’s amazing #

In my 1st month & a half of blogging I posted 550 times. What was wrong w/me? Yes, those were the foundation of my blog empire, but really? #

    Also, interesting how G and I come at songs differently. I immediately arrange or find voicings, she immediately finds harmony/counterpoint. #

    a rewarding life

    This is a story about rewards. Sort of. I’m not sure how to tell it, so I’ll just start at the beginning.

    A little over a year ago I met Britt Miller – comm professional, digital native, and visual artist. Once Britt learned about my blogging she egged me into using Twitter. The rest, as we are accustomed to saying, is history.

    It’s frigging crazy-ass history, actually. Playing streaming concerts, jumping out of planes, accepting awards, attending conferences in NYC – all of that borne out of Britt’s pestering me to get to know Twitter.

    Skyline by Britt Miller (@brimil)

    The two of us now share a “Fame 2010″ plan of promoting and improving our respective arts all year. Last April, before all of that happened, Britt mentioned she was showing her art at the first ever “Earth Saturday” block party on South Street – an eco-friendly festival thrown by Big Green Earth Store and Whole Foods.

    I asked Britt if she wanted some music to go with her art and the end result was that I wound up playing a block party along with some of my local favorites like Christie Lenee and Dante Bucci.

    It was my first solo appearance in a long while, and it surprised me – even in the limitless space of an outdoor gig my songs felt big and sure, with just a few stumbles. It wound up being a major force in getting me into shape for playing and recording more than ever in the rest of 2009.

    This past Saturday was the second Earth Saturday block party, again at 9th and South, and again featuring art from both Britt and I. My set felt even bigger and surer this year, and Britt had a table of beautiful prints of her art – major Fame 2010 success!

    Britt is always pulling hilarious quotes of mine out of thin air, and before my set she had a great one. We were chatting with some twitter friends about my songwriting, and I made my usual disclaimer that it’s taken me a long time and a lot of work to get to where I am now – from being forbidden to sing in my high school halls to playing sets at eco-festivals. And, Britt said:

    Peter, you said this awesome thing once. I heard someone tell you that you were a great singer, and you said, “Thank you. I’ve worked for thirteen years to hear that compliment.”

    I don’t even remember saying that, but it’s indelibly me. To hear someone compliment me on my voice or my songs strikes me with awe – awe at what I’m hearing, and awe that nearly half a life of effort means I’m able to play music that people enjoy.

    I wish I could take that feeling and transport it back to 15-year-old me, plucking out the strains of “Dilate” on his first guitar almost this very day in 1997.

    Failing that, I’m sharing it with you. I hope you have something in your life that makes you as happy as my music makes me, and Britt’s paintings make her – especially when someone else stops to appreciate them.

  • The Future of Privacy @ #140conf: Day 2, pt. 6

    This talk goes on my highlights list – amazing content that all social media users should consider.

    Privacy, Secrecy, Publicy – Stowe Boyd, Analyst, Advisor, and Futurist (@stoweboyd)

    “We have secrecy for secret, privacy for private” but no word for things that are made (or made to remain) public.”

    Every paragraph of this talk has a notable quotable. I encourage you to read it and consider what it means to you. It was easy to summarize rather than transcribe, because it was organized very well – the words are mine, but the content entirely belongs to Stowe.
