Hey, there’s a new Brad Sucks t-shirt. Here’s the design:

Dropping out of School Lip Dub

Brad — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:52:12 +0000

There is nothing about this Spanish lip dub of Dropping out of School that doesn’t make me smile:

From Elisa, one of the authors:

We hope you like it! :D I’m sorry, the dubbing itself it’s not really that good -_- first of all the audio is not well synchronized and second one is that Spanish people are not that good at English lipdubbing, I guess ^^U haha! But we hope you enjoy it anyway!! :)

Brewery show?

Brad — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:34:40 +0000

So Brad Sucks should be coming out of live show retirement this year. There’s an interesting show I’ve been offered but I need to gauge interest + probably sell tickets in advance to make it happen. Here are the potential details:

The show would be at Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company in Vankleek Hill, Ontario.
There would be a round trip bus from Montreal or Ottawa (depending on which city has more interest.)
Cost would be $30, which is your cover and a brewery tour.
It’d be in the spring or early summer.

Anyway, please let me know if it’s something you’d attend. Thanks!

Office improvement

Over the holidays I worked on getting this office/studio in better shape. I (aka my dad) built the shelf beneath my monitors here:

Which brought everything up to a better height and gave me some storage underneath them. I stuck some rope lights in behind which gives a nice glow. Next step is to put more paintings and stuff up. And maybe some Christmas lights. And more drinks.

Happy New Year

Holy mercy, it’s 2010. A lot of great things happened for me in 2009 so my hopes for 2010 are unreasonably high. Thanks to everyone for listening, buying my stuff, donating and just being generally supportive.

This year I’m going to sketch out a plan for the year to be more systematic in my goal-completion. Small steps leading to a bigger picture, etc. We’ll see how that goes – I’m easily distracted. But as I’ve had more success with music this year I feel a responsibility to not be a lazy-ass.

Good luck to you all in 2010 and thank you again.

A lovely Christmas song

Brad — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:21:14 +0000

Here’s my last monthly demo thing of 2009. It’s a cover of a Christmas song my friend JB wrote and that I really like. It’s not safe for work, was done in a day and a half and here it is:

Fuck You, Motherfucker (It’s Christmas) (4MB)

Thanks to JB for the background vocals! Oh and here’s the original.

Anyway, that about wraps it up for 2009. I’ve enjoyed doing the monthly songs but I’m looking forward to taking a break. Thanks for listening dudes, have a good holiday.

I’m looking for anyone who might want to take over Brad Sucks Digital Download Store paid installations. I get a lot of requests and don’t have time for them anymore. I’d be happy to send them your way if you’re into it. Let me know.

I Think You’re Alright (demo)

Brad — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:46:34 +0000

This month’s demo is actually mostly a song by my pal and guitarist Ben Mullin. He played a demo of it for me and I was like “let me cram my filthy vocals into that and produce it up” and he was like “let go of me”.

I Think You’re Alright (5 MB)

Here are some clips of Brad Sucks tracks in Rock Band:

Rock Band voting results

Brad — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:25:11 +0000

These are the songs that got more than two votes on the site here and on the Facebook group:

So I think we’re doing the top 6, but I’m not sure what to do about Making Me Nervous. It’s the most popular song but many people think it’s a bad fit for Rock Band. I’m sort of thinking about doing a remix with more guitars, but maybe that’d kill some of the fun. “Play along to a different version of a song you kinda liked!”
