My Aberrations and Quirks…
Soon, I will bid thee farewell and hello in simultaneity. I will leave my
loyal folks in the USA once again and embark on a quest to Europe to visit my loyal
folk across the Atlantic. This is my recipe for a tour: entertain, captivate, stir
shit up and repeat. 5 countries: United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, France
and Spain. I have organized everything myself. (And I wonder why I can’t sleep.
Go figure.) From radio shows to concerts to DJ gigs to seminars and workshops. I
will push forth into the unknown and make it “the known”. Peep the itinerary.
I’m in the process of revamping my website. Send me any suggestions
you may have. I will apply the most popular ones. It’s not just my site; it
is yours as well. I’d appreciate any input you can muster.
Do you own a copy of “Luminous Dark Alleys: The Insomniac Works”
yet? If not, what are you waiting for? You can get it here http://TahOnline.com If you do own it, I’ll send you a free t-shirt
if you send me a video testimonial about it. Even if you hated it and have horrible
things to say, just email it to me and you’ll get your shirt. I’m going
to start putting up excerpts from the book on the site. I hope you digs. I will
let you know about it before I leave for Europe. More good shit to come…
very soon. Footage and pics from my tour in Australia… Stick with me. This
Do it yourself shit is tough on a brother. I’m working full time with the
music, full time at the hospital and part time with the personal training…
I need a staff of like 10 people.
Last Saturday I had a show at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem…
after my SUV broke down in Brooklyn. I still got there. Still rocked the stage…
What a day… and what a show! Got there 2 hours late and my loyal Aberrations
and Quirks were waiting patiently!! I thank you tremendously.
This weekend in New York, I am a panelist at the RE/Mixed Media festival. If you are in town come out at catch it.
The info is here.
It should be a humdinger…
I think you should join my email list and stick with me…
Bzzzwrp!

Tah to sit in on the Hip Hop Panel at RE/Mixed Media Festival 2011
My Aberrations and Quirks...
I'm going to be sitting in on this panel (Remixing Culture- A Panel On Sampling & The Global Appropriation of Hip-Hop)! Come out Saturday October 22nd dammit...NEW YORK, NY (October 2011)—LOFI, an arts organization dedicated to supporting independent media, has announced the second annual RE/MIXED MEDIA FESTIVAL. The festival, which explores remix and mashup culture from the artists’ perspective, will be held on October 22, 2011 in Brooklyn, New York. Over 30 artists, musicians, performers, and technologists will present their work and ideas at One Arm Red and Water Street Restaurant and Bar in DUMBO.
The 2011 RE/MIXED MEDIA FESTIVAL features an exciting mix of work across and within a variety of disciplines.
- Experience how the human body can become a musical instrument at a workshop on hacking the Microsoft Kinect with musician, Adriano Clemente.
- Learn about the political, synesthesia-inducing videoart of Vimeo-award-winning remixer, Kasumi.
- Explore heartbreak and love lost collected from Craigslist with the collaborative hybrid documentary, The Anonymous Heartache Project.
- See the first full performance of 64 Paintings/64 Plays—a series of 64 one-page plays paired with dynamic soundscapes, animation, and art.
- Participate in the celebrated (and wacky) multimedia trivia challenge, Big Quiz Thing.
- Join pop-culture pirate, Elisa Kreisinger for carefully constructed subversions of mass media. (See following page for schedule and talent roster.)
ABOUT LEAGUE OF INDEPENDENTS (LOFI) LOFI is an art/film/media collective established in 2009 devoted to preserving the tradition of independent creation in the arts and to supporting independent artists. Empowered by technology, more artists are creating media than ever before, but their works are often seen only on sites like YouTube and social networks. LOFI’s mission is to create a face?to?face community for these artists to screen their works, and to discuss and critique the works of their peers. We hope to have a permanent home by 2012.

Aberrations and Quirks
I had a lot to think about on the 14-hour return flight across the
Pacific Ocean from my tour in Australia and this is the result:
You have all been given new names.
I have decided that if you follow me
on email, twitter, facebook, read my blog, visit my websitem listen to my music, come to my shows, have read my
book or are even remotely interested in what I am doing, then you are potentially
as “off”, strange or weird as I am. Therefore I have decided to dub
you “Aberrations and Quirks”.
Choose your preference. We do not think along the lines of the average sheep. We
will not be herded into flocks and be lead by a shepherd with his clever but unintelligent
sheepdogs.
This is what will be happening from now on:
I will
be giving you the raw uncut of it all. Not that I haven’t before… No,
I am not suddenly becoming all extra serious, but in my material you will detect
a somewhat sharper edge as the blade cuts deeper into your mind to dissect your
thoughts.
I will be keeping closer contact. For those of you on my email list, and yo ass should be on my email list... AHEM! I know I used to send email updates
once a month, but I think it is time for once a week. There is so much going on
and I think you need to be aware of it. If you want up to the minute action find
me on facebook or twitter.
My career has grown and so have I.
It is time for my people to grow with me. I have been across the Atlantic Ocean,
the Pacific Ocean and all across the United States with my music. I have seen a
lot. I have loved and been loved. I have loved and been hated… “So
the fuck what?” You ask… Ok, well… If you thought I was cool…
its about to get a whole lot cooler. Your mind may burst into a whole new realm
of self-understanding that you might not be ready for.
This week and in the upcoming weeks those of you on my email list will receive a series of messages
updating you on transformation processes. Transformation of my website, transformation
of how I connect with you… transformation of your mind. If you are not on my email list, what the hell are you waiting for? For those of you on my email list. Thanks for sticking with me!
This is a members only club. You have the option to be a member…
You are welcome here. There is no charge to ride along… Kick of your shoes
and jump on the sofa with me. If you feel that you don’t belong here…
Please, find the exit promptly…your loss. I am not afraid to be myself…
are you? If you are with me then…
Welcome my Aberrations and Quirks…
Welcome to the Bizarre World of Tah Phrum Duh (MuthaPhukin’)
Bush!
BZZZWRP!
