December 14, 2003
Exciting times, these certainly are
not. Mp3.com bit the big one and, remarkably, the Earth still
spins. Regal Theatres told Disney where they could shove the
proverbial “it” by refusing to play The Young Black Stallion, the
Disney-produced IMAX movie that was going to be the Christmas “event.”
The “food” served by T.G.I.Friday’s made me and a friend sick last
week, and not just in the jesting metaphorical sense this time.
Beer, as always, is my friend.
I will finish my album sometime. It
will be within the next however-long-it-takes and will be available to you
sometime-after-that. I still debate the final track list. If I
decide I’m just sick enough of this piece of self-indulgent tripe, it
may just be ten tracks, no instrumental, cut-and-dry, 45 minutes long,
easy. Even I don’t know at this point; but since anyone who comes here
for news on the album will get me burning you a free copy anyway, most
like, you can all, too, shove the proverbial “it.”
Oh, and here’s the hit single part of the
album … Filler Track.
November 25, 2003
I have set the date. Not for
marriage. HG&S should be completed before
Christmas, whether or not it’s actually available for then; seeing as I
have to mail a master disc to CafePress (during, of course, the busy
season) and then they have to log, file, and assess everything, so that
viewers like you may, one day, purchase it.
Whereas I have yet to lay down any vocals
(except for Moved On),
the music is 90% recorded for seven of the twelve total (final)
tracks. They’re sounding great!
I have also added a slew of (well, to be
precise: nine) discs to the Collection.
Happy.
November 16, 2003
ATTENTION!!!
Long story short: mp3.com
is dead, or will be on December 2, 2003. [more…]
If you ever wanted to buy
one of my albums, now is the time. Their CD service will be
discontinued as of tomorrow, Monday the 17th! (And I reduced all the
prices to the lowest possible!) Since I won't make $25 in royalties
in the next two days, mp3.com will steal all the money I make from
any sales, so only buy them if *you* want to! (I’d have to sell 10
cd’s before I earn the apparent lowest amount of money they think is
worth printing a check for.)
My upcoming album will
be, as scheduled, available at CafePress, and my two previous ones may
eventually show up there, too. But don’t panic if you’re a true
fan and don’t have my music yet. If it comes down to it, I’ll
personally burn you a disc with all my .mp3’s, if you beg me.
 November

The whole of my existence the past week has
come to fruition with today’s release (and 6:00am show) of
you-know-what. I’ve seen the film about four times now.
Visit, if you will, my page dedicated toward this
film, particularly. Though, I’m only slightly paranoid about
posting images of film clips depicting frames from the movie. Also,
soon I’ll be posting my official review; if you don’t mind possible
spoilers, that is.
October 29, 2003
The Matrix Revolutions: The IMAX
Experience is on its way. The print is scheduled to arrive
at the theatre no later than Monday, the 3rd. Building it up will be
fun, and private screenings may exist (since IMAX prints must be
screened prior to public exhibition, to check for synch, volume
levels, print integrity, etc.) and finally, all our answers will be
questioned. We’re all looking forward to it.
I updated the GuitARSENAL
with pictures of five of my seven lovely ladies. Ain’t they
pretty? I take care of them, and pamper them, and take pictures of
them without their straps on. Is that wrong?
And for those of you who want a final mix
of the instrumental version of Faith-Based Fail-Safe may
find it on mp3.com.
It kicks of the ass.
Finally, back to theatre-related business,
I have seen most of Scary Movie 3 (most, only since I was working a shift
at the time). A lot of the movie is drab and uninspired. My
biggest disappointment, however, was, ironically, the funniest part of the
movie. I laughed out loud. The rest of the 500 people in the
auditorium, interestingly, completely failed to do just that. It’s
like, come on people! Don’t you even realize an Airplane!
reference when it smacks you upside the head? Leslie Nielson was
simply born to recite that line, so you all damn well better laugh
at it, alright!?! Other than that, the George Carlin bit, in parody
of Matrix Reloaded, was actually well done and made me smirk several
times. Gotta love Carlin! Ooh, and that Anna Faris
… quite possibly the cutest girl in existence.
October
21, 2003
It is with sadness that I learn of the
death of Elliott Smith, a fine songwriter who has been somewhat of an
influence on me and my own song stylings. I saw him perform at The
Roxy in Hollywood back in 1998, I think it was. Damn fine albums,
his. He will be missed and his recordings will be cherished.
At the time of this writing, details are “unclear” and I will remain
without comment, whatever will surface. But, for the record, his “legend”
will live on with me in a similar manner to that of Kurt Cobain.
Long live the acoustic guitar and
double-tracked vocals!
October 20, 2003
I have designed what will be the final and
official cover to my fifth album, and at the time of this update, it is
displayed right there at the top of this page.
In other news, I have moved and become a
part of “The OC” in reality. Okay, now whereas it is, in fact,
the case that I live in Costa Mesa, I simply must point out that I have
never seen the show; for one thing, because I don’t watch television,
but mainly because everything I’ve heard about the show from friends and
others whom I respect leads me to think that the producers of the program
live in New York and have never even seen Southern California. I
grew up in Corona, apparently the hometown of one of the characters.
The impressions of towns like Corona, as portrayed in the show, are vastly
skewed and hold no resemblance to reality … but then, that’s what
television is for, right?
Three new books!
New CafePress
items!
 October

Here’s a happy picture of me and my
Gina-friend, because she is my happy friend. Also in the news, I’m
moving to Costa Mesa, CA; five minutes from the beach, ten minutes from
work, and a fifteen minute walk from the Goat Hill Tavern! These are
all vital when choosing location. Lastly, I give in. Here’s
a teaser clip to Brilliance
Recedes.
October 8, 2003
Yesterday, it
happened. And no, I’m not talking about California’s “termination.”
October 6, 2003
Okay, you talked me out of it! I was
thinking of withholding further teaser mp3’s from you all, but I guess
you just have to hear what I’ve been doing. But, you only get
one! (Sommer, this is for you, so you better damned well enjoy
it!) I’m basically done with the instrumental portions of Brilliance
Recedes and Sommer Nights,
and all this in the last couple days. Literally, two days, two
songs. Go me!
October 1, 2003
I added a few things to Downloads
for you to enjoy, one of which my dad attempted to threaten me with …
oh, yeah, we’ll see who gets the last laugh. (It will probably be
you, the viewer, after you see me playing a badly tuned guitar almost ten
years ago.) Also, those of you interested in works-in-progress will
be pleasantly … pleased.
But more importantly, the following: I
found out today that, in promotion of the latest
book in his Discworld series, the author Terry Pratchett, who is one
of my favorites, is doing a reading/signing
next Tuesday at Vroman’s
in Pasadena, CA. I am not going to fail to be there. This is
the culmination of everything important in the world, right here!
September 29, 2003
I admit it. I’ve been cheating on
Evelyn. I know I shouldn’t be keeping an eye on what guitar I will
get next, not after having just spend a load on what is currently the
finest girl, by far, in my guitar collection. But I couldn’t help
it … I went to Guitar Center. I have been spending a lot of time
with a red Fender
Custom Telecaster FMT. It is a very light-weight guitar with a
set neck, two humbuckers, hard-tail bridge, jumbo frets … and she sounds
so good. I really don’t want another red guitar, which is why I’m
pleased that the FMT comes in a lovely, transparent amber finish.
But I haven’t seen one of those yet.
No, I know better. I won’t be
getting another guitar for a while. But that’s what Guitar Center
is for, eh? I can see the FMT anytime I want. And Evelyn will
never know any better … since she’s a guitar and not my girlfriend!
I made a page that runs down every guitar
in my collection. I will add more information to it, and pictures,
later on; but it’s here. And I
started working on some more songs. Parenthetical Aside
is going to be very TMBG-like.
September 26, 2003
I suppose it is time for another
update. I’m deep into recording Faith-Based Fail-Safe
and it’s sounding so good; very rhythmic and energetic, as
intended. I’ve got the next five days off from work, so I hope to
get several songs started, and a few more finished, or at least recorded
to the point where mixing is all I have left, which is the fun part,
considering I’m ecstatically pleased with what I recorded, even if I
keep adding clauses, which prevent this sentence from ending, as much as I
want it to, even considering how much joy I do, in fact, get from running
my sentences on. Ick, I ended that with a preposition. The
whole sentence is void.
I got more DVD’s,
including A Mighty Wind, which has such great music in it,
even though most of it was written in a mocking kind of way, I
imagine. Acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies; you know what I think
of those.
I also updated my IMAX Matrix pages, adding
a third one, with more information and IMAX
projection jargon, and ready to be filled with Revolutions-related stuff!
September 15, 2003
More stuff! I got Family Guy
(Volume 2: Season 3) on DVD and Bertrand Russell’s A
History of Western Philosophy on Book, which is too cool! I
got other stuff as well, but I’m too lazy to remember it all right
now. Maybe, eventually, I will get around to adding it the
collection pages.
And guess what … those who care may now
download the first official release from Hand Gestures & Sarcasm,
the first single Moved
On, such that it is, at this point in time. Say hello to
Alysson and Evelyn. Listen with headphones! Enjoy! I am
currently attempting to upload the song to enter in the International
Songwriting Competition (ISC), while today is the deadline date.
Just under the wire, eh? Winners are announced in January, so keep
your crosses fingered.
September 8, 2003
For your pleasure, an example of a recursive
loop … or, perhaps, it’s a nested loop …
September 7, 2003
Yes, I am teasing you all. I will not
show you a picture of Evelyn herself, at least not yet. I’m still
breaking her in; and loving every second of it, I might add. I
figured out the following: if I play her with the “treble” bridge
pickup setting on the guitar itself with the tone knob all the way
down, then lined through a Rockman
Guitar Ace with heavy distortion set, then into my Crate amp with Lo
and Mid EQ settings down and Hi EQ up, a little spring reverb added, then
into my Tascam mixer, effect-out through my Boss
DD-6 digital delay pedal and back … if I play Evelyn like this, then
I sound vitually identical to every Boston guitar lick ever
recorded. Really. It’s somewhat impressive.
And here, to prove it, is an exclusive .mp3
of me screwing around on Evelyn, playing a sort of medley of: Jesu, Joy of
Man’s Desiring (J.S. Bach), Peace of Mind (Boston), The Depths of Your
Embrace (BMWeidemann), Panama (Van Halen), All The Young Dudes (Mott The
Hoople [there you are, Dad!]), and Smokin’ (Boston). Keep in
mind that this was recorded solely for this update, without my having
warmed up. Enjoy.
I purchased the following CD’s: Alien
Ant Farm TruANT,
Ben Folds Five Whatever And Ever Amen; and on DVD, Grosse
Pointe Blank, Clerks Uncensored Animated Series, and
Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life.
Thank you, Sommer, for your belated e-mail
attempt. Not to gloss over my honest appreciation, but you’re
still two behind.
September 3, 2003
Evelyn is a Gibson
Les Paul Standard 2003 with a slim 60’s style neck and a AA flame
top “desert burst” finish. She was fresh out of the box, never
played by anyone (save the inspector in Nashville, most likely). It
was a cool, Summer Saturday at the Guitar Center in Fountain Valley,
CA. And I brought my checkbook.
Guess what, everybody! Yes, she is
now mine. And to the obligatory question you all, inevitably, will
want to ask, “So, how much did you spend?”, I will respond with the
discretely innocuous yet appropriately emphatic, “No comment.”
And I am happy.
And Sommer, you still owe me! Where
are my e-mails, you hussy!? (again, humor)
August 30, 2003
To save you all the trouble of clicking
through my collection pages, I will divulge, here, the eight new purchases
from today’s outing to Best Buy and Barnes & Noble. The
Essence of Chaos by Edward N. Lorenz; Surely You’re
Joking, Mr. Feynman by Richard P. Feynman; Dire Straits’
self-titled first disc, Fountains of Wayne: Utopia Parkway; Best
of Bowie; National Lampoon’s Vacation: 20th
Anniversary Special Edition; Bowling For Columbine; and They
Might Be Giants: Direct From Brooklyn, Video Compilation.
August 27, 2003
I added a few new things to the various
collection pages. I also
tampered briefly with the AutoBRIography.
And I once again worked some Photoshop magic and
did a mock up of a potential Hand Gestures & Sarcasm
album cover. There it is, right in the introduction section
above. View larger version.
Now that ain’t workin’; that’s the way you do it. In
anticipation of the release of the album, I have made this t-shirt
available from CafePress. The parody cover is on the front and,
from the song Filler Track, the following lyric is on the
back: “They can’t all be gems, but it’s only rock music.”
There’s a mug,
too! Buy them today and support music that one day might be
recorded.
Update: Unfortunately,
due to two issues regarding my image, I am unable to sell merchandise with
it. First, it’s parody, so it’s not entirely my work to sell,
since it is based on third party copyright. Secondly, the Ovation
12-string, even though I own the guitar and took the picture, is a product
I don’t have the right to sell merchandise featuring. Oh well.
Hello, by the way, to all my new
“regular” visitors. And to anyone else to just happens to stop
by, please know that you, too, will enjoy being “regular,” so do
yourself a favor.
 August

To help give you, the anxious reader, the
best possible World Bri’ed Experience®, it is my duty to provide an
ample quota of pictures so as not to bore, repulse, or in any other way
discourage my so-called “fan base.” It’s in the interest of
future, potential album sales that I utilize what exists of my Photoshop
abilities. This picture is what I see each time it occurs to me,
“I should start recording this album.”
After visiting four different Guitar Center
locations around the “Inland Empire” (some of them multiple times) I
have yet to find a Gibson Les Paul with all the following qualities
simultaneously: shows off a nice wood grain that came from a part that was
not the armpit of the tree, is strung with strings that are not grimy and
rusty (which of course can be replaced, but don’t promote the store’s
care-taking abilities), and is free from nicks, scrapes, dents, gouges,
and other unsightly abrasions! If I’m going to spend $1999.99 on a
guitar (I’m considering the Les
Paul Standard now, instead of the Classic), I would like not to have a
guitar that looks like it not only wiped someone’s ass, but was crammed
up it as well and shows obvious signs of … struggle.
And here is a snapshot of my two latest
girls, just to satiate your need for graphical representation of reality
when mere text fails to suffice. The Parker (the red electric) was
obtained prior to (and used extensively in) the recording of my Proceed
Without Caffeine album, in June 2001 (as a gift from my
bestest-friend Gina, who at the time was my girlfriend Gina). The
Takamine became mine a handful of months ago (as a gift from myself, who
at the time was me, but younger). Click for larger
version.
August 13, 2003
I have some good news and, prophetically, I
have some bad news as well. In an attempt to defeat the monster that
is my buzzing g-string, I have replaced all the strings on my Takamine
with a new set. (1) The g-string no longer buzzes in the annoying,
louder-than-life way that it used to, so the replacement solved the
problem. (2) The new set of strings, while providing the requisite,
new-string “twang”, sounds so incredibly flat, thin, lifeless, and
low-quality that I will pretty much refuse to record 80% of my album with
it (which was my original, rough estimate of how much of the album I would
record with it). I may lay down a track or two, but I will
definitely be buying a new set of strings and replacing them before I do
my primary tracks.
Other than that, the new microphone is so
amazing, it actually makes me sound like I can sing. Just for
reference, the entire set of Long Hair Phase’s vocal
sessions were recorded with an ElectroVoice 635, a wholly remarkable
microphone (for pounding in nails), but not quite a musical lead vocal
microphone. I know this because I did extensive comparison in the
last few days, and the 767 wins in every category my mind chose to
separate into categories.
I apologize for the incredible dearth of
photographic enhancement to my entries, by the way. I have tried to
make up for this with textual content. Be happy at that, at least.
I have also decided that, instead of
getting the Epiphone
Casino hollowbody electric that I’ve had my eye on, I will be
purchasing, as my next wooden-and-strung-along girl, a Gibson
Les Paul. Yes, I'm willing to spend $1700 (I'm not quite in the
$2000 range yet) and be perfectly content at owning a guitar I won’t let
anyone breath near, let alone touch, or even (I shudder at the notion) pluck!
No, there will be no plucking. It’s all me, baby.
August 8, 2003
Four new discs to the collection.
Other than that, I’m still fine tuning some composition and arranging in
several songs. At this point, the definite Not-To-Be-Missed, strong,
single-worthy tracks are Moved On, Running On The
Fumes, Sommer Nights, and Faith-Based
Fail-Safe. I’m thinking I may widdle the album down to ten
or eleven tracks. I’m realizing that other than these songs, and
maybe Pride as well, I’ve got more “filler” songs than
I thought I did, than I hoped I would have, and than I ever thought I’d
let myself stuff onto an album. If I left it at a five-song EP with
these tracks only, that might not be a bad idea either. We’ll see
how I feel after I actually start RECORDING these damned things I’ve
been harping about and obsessing over! Frankly, I’m sick of this
album already, and not one note has been recorded.
“I don’t care about
indecision. I don’t care if I get behind.”
Penultimately, I discovered that the
g-string on my Takamine buzzes! It happens at every fret, and only
on that string, and now that I know it’s there, it has become (to my
ears) the loudest thing the guitar does! And this was my new recording
guitar. Sad Bri.
Finally, a note to Sommer: You owe me three
e-mails, bitch! (humorous tone)
August 4, 2003
No picture for today, however there are a
couple things to mention. I saw Boston last night at the Pacific
Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, CA. (And as amazing as it is in this day
and age, “Pacific” is not the corporate sponsor of the venue!)
Cool, loud, harmony guitars and two-and-a-half hours of rock-n-roll
goodness, that’s all I need to be happy. Well, maybe I could use a
couple more things. Some people think less of the “new” Boston
for the fact that, among other reasons, there’s now a “chick” bass
player. But she’s HOT!
I ordered an ElectroVoice
ND767A NDYM Super Cardioid Lead Vocal Microphone which should
be arriving in the mail shortly. It has some good reviews going for
it, so hopefully it will be worth it. Now I just need to learn to
sing! It was between this and the Shure SM57 instrument/vocal
microphone, which is about half the price, and which I will eventually get
anyway, down the line, perhaps for my next album.
Total investment in equipment etc. for Hand
Gestures & Sarcasm: The Recording Process, thus far … $450,
or thereabouts. If you add my Takamine, well then the total amount
tops off at about $1000 even. Holy crap! This better be a damn
good album.

I didn’t see Guster yesterday, sadly. However, I had more fun hanging with Rich,
Jason, and Kevin. Kev is recently back from Kazakhstan, where he
was stationed in the Peace Corps. Here he is seen about to give Rich
a puncture in his spinal cord he might not need. With a golf
pencil. We were at the Grand Californian hotel at Downtown Disney
last night, having many Guinnesses (or what I think we
decided the proper plural is: Guinni).
  Also new this week, I am happy. I
invested in two pieces of equipment for the new album; well, not just
for the album, but I will use them on the album nonetheless. Here is
the Boss DD-6 stereo digital delay pedal. And here is my Rockman®
Guitar Ace by Tom Scholz. It’s the pre-amp I’ve always
wanted and now I have it. I rule!!! I updated the F.A.Q.
with the new gear.
July 20, 2003
 Three
new discs to the list. Not a complete
sentence. Other than that, I present to you a picture of my bestest-friend
Gina and I, who both happen to be looking right at my digital camera, for
some strange reason (perhaps admiring it) while, remarkably, it had its
timer set. What a coincidence! And it appears that we were in
the Matrix “construct” at the time. I guess my “residual
self-image” includes a They Might Be Giants t-shirt! Pretty cool!
July 17, 2003
Due to the barrage* of e-mails I received
in the last few days inquiring about my recent attitude toward Sommer, I
will now point out for you that I no longer hate her. I never did,
in fact. I wasn’t really joking so much as just being sly about
the way I admitted my undying, perpetual, unfettered, and abundant love
for the woman, as fantastically gorgeous and alarmingly alluring as she is
in all her sweetness, charm, and grace.
*On this occasion, I have chosen “barrage”
to mean
“complete and utter lack or non-existence.”
The song Sommer Nights has
had three new verses written for it, so I may do some picking-and-choosing
before the final draft is concise. The band Guster
is playing in San Diego in about a week! I must go! I fixed up
my mp3.com/BMWeidemann
page to match this site a little more closely. Then I added a Spirituality
of “Viper” page to the site, which should be well-remembered by
fans of my old sites. And then Prince Charles started wearing all of
Lady Di’s clothes. I couldn’t believe it!
July 15, 2003
The songs are being composed. Some
lyrics are being revised. Fourteen songs. And they all kick
ass. Another sentence fragment.
I finally added the Hand Gestures
& Sarcasm selected-lyrics page. I was quite brief, but
such is the nature of the teaser. Check it
out. Enjoy.
When I get a band, our name will be Six
Words, Two Commas, & An Ampersand. What do you
think? Don’t steal my idea. I copyright it.
 July
14, 2003
This is an update. And this is Sommer
catching me with the camera running. I’m sure she hates me
now. But I hate her anyway, so it’s okay.
July
6, 2003
 Six new compact discs to my CD
Collection! Three new Books.
Happy Bri.
I did more lyric revising to some older
songs, the ones that I will finally be recording for the new album.
The track listing is now up to fourteen songs!
And here, for no other reason than because
I just took the picture last night, is the lovely and, of course, talented
Maya Marin. This is one of five shots I have prepared from the
series I took during her Borders Books Chino performance, which kicked
ass. Support independent music as well as its respective
musicians. Her album Waiting Here is very, very
good. Check out www.mayamarin.com
for more!
June 24, 2003
Thank you to all who made my birthday a day
of the week. As a result of my adding another number to the list of
ages I have been and never will be again, I can claim to have four new Books
and five new CD’s in my collections.
Today I just completed the lyrics to Faith-Based
Fail-Safe and all was good.
June 21, 2003
Tomorrow is my birthday, so there!
I’m special.
I wrote the lyrics for a song that wasn’t
even in conceptual stage until about 4:00pm yesterday. It’s quite
brilliant and I’m very proud of it, and it is called Moved On.
So far, the track listing for the upcoming album contains twelve songs, so
I just need to start composing and recording them. The track
listing, in no particular order, is thus:
1) Pride 2) Faith-Based
Fail-Safe 3) Moved On 4) Brilliance
Recedes 5) Parenthetical Aside 6) Needless
To Say 7) Dearest Yvette 8) Askew
9) Running On The Fumes 10) Longing
11) Sommer Nights 12) Filler Track Number Four
This is going to be a great album.
And very wordy, as I think it will include some of my best writing.
It’s my latest writing which, from experience, gets a little better each
time, so it is, by default, my best. One instrumental song this time
… three points if you guess which one.
 June
15, 2003
I added the two-page photographic record to
the Gallery of my glorious
all-nighters building up that Matrix movie in IMAX.
Also, there are additions to all three AutoBRIography
section collections.
June
7, 2003
Wow, what a week! We opened Matrix
Reloaded: The IMAX® Experience yesterday and I spent several
all-nighters assembling the print (40 reels!), adding a trailer, getting
it in synch, etc. I am currently designing a page for the Gallery
showcasing images from those nights, documenting the experience.
Hopefully Warner Bros. won’t sue me over the images from Matrix
Reloaded that are visible in the shots of film strips.
And here, just for Sommer, are the complete
lyrics to The Waitress. (By the way, Sommer, I hope John
behaved himself last night!) [editor’s note: Yes, I make personal
comments on the site to people I know for a fact visit and read what
I’ve written. If you are here and would like a “shout-out”
then just let me know.]
 A
simple cup of coffee seems to much for which to ask. My presence as
a customer has gone on quite unseen,
so as I start another page again, a much-repeated task, am I aware that my
existence must proceed without caffeine.
What is it about the
waitress?
So many mixed emotions, I must confess; I gaze upon her longingly,
from afar, but I digress. Ignoble, I’m ignored by the waitress.
Oh, waitress, I’m not
harsh in all the judgment I bestow. I’m sure you’ll come around
again, wielding a fresh-brewed pot.
But as you walk on by me with another place to go, I can’t help
harboring these feelings … I’m hating you a lot!
I’ve nothing here to
offer you beside gratuity.
But you have what I want from you.
I wonder what that might be. It’s not how it might
seem. I need sugar and cream!
I gently close the cover,
all my work here is complete;
A well-spent several hours and an ill-spent $1.19
I leave, aware tomorrow I’ll be back in the same seat and
well-aware that my existence will proceed without caffeine.
 June 1, 2003
I added four new DVD’s to the list.
I separated the Artwork section into two pages, one with pencil drawings
and one with oil paintings, adding a few paintings as well. I
revised the official Songs To Download, Listen To, And Then Delete
to include The
Waitress, so that the lovely Sommer [sic], who requested it, may hear it.
(She is a Denny’s waitress … I know, big surprise, eh? Hey,
it’s always wise to please those who bring you your coffee.)
I also appended a page to the Gallery
(accessible through page four) devoted to my signed
Tori drawing. Thus bringing the total number of local pages to
31.
And yes, I know that the Hand Gestures
& Sarcasm lyric page is not there. :)
Lastly, here is a “Smart Blur” enhanced
image of me sporting a CafePress shirt designed by my dad, via Weidemannia
Designs, his on-line “company.” Visit Weidemannia!
May 27, 2003
Here it is folks! I know it was worth
it! I’m still fine-tuning some things and adding others and
changing yet more, but this is it. Revel. Revel, damnit!
Update! I added a new, cooler, more
striking index-page graphic, a few other graphics here and there, fixed
some typos, etc.

I got a chunk of the AutoBRIography
pages completed today, and last night I fleshed out the Gallery
series a whole bunch. The F.A.Q. page is nice
and complete as well.

I’m still working on the site, and nobody
out there has seen any of this yet, so why am I updating it as if people
have seen it? It’s a mystery.

Hello and welcome to the first update of
the newly refurbished World Bri'ed Web site. I know you've all been
waiting on pins and needles for its unveiling, but now you needn't worry
yourselves any longer. Here it is. Spiffy, ain't it?
And to those of you anticipating my new
album, this is the cover as of yet. Ooh, ah, thrill, thrill …
major, massive excitement!
Before May 7, 2003
This version of the site didn’t exist, so there really
wouldn’t be any old news. Really. Actually, what follows is
the set of entries which heralded the end of the previous version of the
site. You will forgive the seeming overlap of time. I had to
reboot the site’s wormhole, after all. Enjoy!

…PATION! This is it! I would like to announce the unveiling of the sixth incarnation of the World Bri’ed Web. Tomorrow, Memorial Day, May 26, 2003, sometime in the p.m., you all will have the pleasure of experiencing the bane of my existence over the last several weeks.

I lied, apparently. Since designing and completing a full website in one go is such an in-depth endeavor, I underestimated the time it would take. But it *is* coming. It’s looking great, and I’m sure you’ll all be perfectly pleased. As the site currently stands, there are only five more pages needing to be completed (out of 23 total so far), but if any more ideas for pages come up, then they’ll be added.
I know I’m whetting all your appetites with antici…

 Well, this isn't a teaser; not technically. But I would like to announce that I now own a Sony Cyber-shot 3.2 megapixel digital camera. It shoots video in MPEG format, and it has a stop-motion-like feature which outputs animated GIF files. See? A madman with ample technology is still a madman, but with technology!
May 11, 2003
It’s coming, it’s coming! Be on the lookout sometime this week for the official unveiling of the new World Bri’ed Web! You all just may be rather impressed. No more teasers, by the way. If you didn’t catch the single image I posted of the new theme, you still can while it’s there in the last entry. But that is it. When the new site opens, it will be complete without any broken links (hopefully) or empty pages with Under Construction announcements. There’s going to be an image gallery and an F.A.Q., and … well, you’ll just have to wait to find out what else.
May 5, 2003
Hey, folks, guess what. Yes, it's that time of year again: the time I get an itch and decide to redesign the website once again! I think I'm going to fully combine the "personal" and "corporate" websites into one, seamless "official" site. Don't worry, it's still going to contain all the webby goodness both sites have on their own, but now it'll all be easier to find. Or something like that.
Want a sneak peek? Here it is! (And there's also a bit of a teaser for the new album in there, if you look for it hard enough.)
Tentative track listing (incomplete, as well) for Hand Gestures &
Sarcasm:
Brilliance Recedes
Pride
Longing
Parenthetical Aside
Pedestal
Askew
Dearest Yvette
Faith-Based Fail-Safe
Needless To Say

It is with great, great pleasure that I can announce that the following is the case: Shortly, I will have no need for mp3.com! Cafepress.com is now offering a CD Program which I will make the most of. Full artwork, artwork on the disc itself, audio content transferred from the original master disc and not mp3 files, and lower prices: all these are the benefits of this program over mp3.com’s sorry-ass service. Plus, I can sell them directly through my Merchandise page where my t-shirts, bumper-stickers, and more are available.
And I added a few more song clips to the bottom of this page, for your streaming and/or downloading needs.

Wow, a lot has happened since the last update … or, actually, just a lot of time has lapsed since the last update. The single copy of Long Hair Phase that sold was to my father. He wins the prize: a lifetime supply of listening pleasure. You, too, can play the game … everyone’s a winner!!!
