With Centennial finished…
…and with only mastering & production left, where does that leave Les Debutantes? Here is a status report:
me: I’m deeply dissatisfied. Not so much with the final product, but with the railroading. All the best songs were left off. More later.
glen: He’s sober about the entire project. Centennial, [...]

When Steeve Winnwood stands in Traffic, it’s dangerous
Some points to cover:
*Glen is no longer allowed to stand up when he keys. Some suggest that no standing keyboard player can overcome the foolishness of it. Stay tuned!
*Now look! Brent didn’t sign on to this to clap hands. And furthermore…
*”Today, I told a kid to shut up.” Brent said [...]

regarding tuesday, 05/18/10….from the thick, wooded glen
How do you feel about it?
–Dr. Feel Speculum as he walked out of the room
Who did drums on this?
–words spoken incredulously by Hurtful Words Hurt
What about my songs?
–Keddiz
This song will get nothing but 1’s, but you have veto power.
–the Ass of Bass delicately explained the song’s fate in terms of rankings and [...]

I Hesitate to Call That Funky: The Ending To “Mind Paper” Story
Time is growing shorter than green tortoise garter. Some fight and flounder, but one cannot barter. And in the face of this, Centennial continues to record itself with the able arms of debutantes. On 10/10/10, these ‘tantes will be men.
Tonight, Glen will take part in a two-day march to cramville. [...]

Amidst his fagazines, he asks to instead be your dreampitcher
Believe in yourself or go home.
–The Ass of Bass, 05/04/10
“Dude, can we go on first?”
–Everyone, circa Always
Do you feel like you’re always being asked to go on unexpectedly later? The following is an angry missive that I direct to virtually everyone besides myself:
Going On Later: An Angry Statement
I’m not asking you to care, but I’ve [...]

You’re starting to get turd on the polishing cloth
And the shammwwow is only so wide.
Afternoon, freres. It’s your ol’ pal, Oldie McKeddiz here with a Centennial update. We have over 110 songs that are DONE done. And it looks like we have less than twenty unfinished songs left that we plan to try to address before June. Most of [...]

fictitious, (seemingly) negative review of Centennial (but with Debutante redemption at the end!)
REVIEW from 10/10/10
Centennial
by Les Debutantes
reviewed by your faithful, slam-diggedy, uber-reviewer…..Gergen Goggles
If you’re like me, you’re oh so fed up with the posturing of a lot of today’s musicians. I’m tote tired of the conformists and the sellers out. As an aficionado, I’d say that CERTAINLY the album is a dying medium. Believe me, I know. [...]

of Tuesday, April 20th [from the thick, wooded glen]
The time spent on April 20th came and went so very quickly. Old friends returned, new songs hashed out, current conflicts unresolved….it was a carousel of humanity. I can’t pretend that I’m not worrying about when all of us members of Les Debutantes will be dead and forgotten. We can’t rise above [...]

have some tea with K
If you’ve never met Keddiz personally, you’ll be happy to know he’s doing well. He could use a lot more support for his campaign for Mayor of Louisville in 2010, but he feels he’s reached everyone that one would deem reachable.
He’s a good man. He’s just waiting for 10/10/10 and the (re-)release of [...]

recent (positive) article about Centennial
from The TipTop Post:
Rub-a-Deb-Deb
It’s an abysmal shame that Les Debutantes weren’t around in the 1960’s, because we would have needed them as much then as we need them now. In a world where edges are trimmed and value is skimmed, this band of outsiders from mediocre Louisville, KY go out on a limb. Unafraid of [...]

rolling out the newest promo mechanism
Just so you know what’s been going on lately, we’ve finalized our new ad package with the agency and I have to say we’re very pleased. We did the censoring and all that stuff last month. This month, we ran everything past the focus groups.
Now, I know many of you bristle at that. [...]

tuesday 03/30/10
Before I get started, I’d just like to remark that Andy Hurt’s contribution last night was invaluable! He’s an asset to both yesterday and all Tuesdays. God bless that guy and all those ideas of his that I respect.
We’ve come so far to just give up. That’s why it’s with great sadness [...]
