Makers Mark and Hendricks Gin

True to benwarrenmusic-blog-sex-drugs-alcoohol-rage-form we imbibed mucho Mint Julep (very light on the mint) Friday night followed by too many Gins and Tonics early Sat. morn. Truer words never spoken that never mix never worry stuff...and at 3 in the morning I realized the error of my ways. I sat drunkenly in front of the glowing computer monitor and played back what I'd done of the 'Alcohol Song Of The Week' to one of my drinking partners James Roy and he promptly replied by handing me his ipod and playing me one of his drinking songs. Ouch. That said I remember it being good even in my alcohol (and hashish!) addled brain - check thejamesrocket.com for a listen.
Woke up Saturday morning with a hangover of Roman proportions. I tried to fix up the song by re-recording some of the vocals. I thought I remembered Matt saying that they sounded novelty-ish the nght before. Bad idea, they ended up sounding worse and I scrapped them later. Took the kittens Bully and Elliott to get shots at Petco @ Union Sq. where I stood, or swayed, dazed in a line of about one hundred dogs (all growling at my cats) for 2 hours. Dumped the vaccinated cats back at home and hopped the L train to Matt's in Greenpoint to shot a video for the song with Matty and Sherry on the roof of his apartment bldg in the 100 degree heat. Hammed it up on the roof and just barely avoided falling to my death. Couldn't believe how I looked on the video playback. Bloated, bad hair-cutted, multi-chinned, and goofy. Matt, Sherry and I all agreed that the reason I'm not famous has to be because I'm ugly.
Right now I'm waiting for Matty to do his final cut editing magic, then I'll add the final mix of said song to it and at midnight tonight Voila! Music video code named 'Blotto' es arrivee.

The reason you're not famous is because you're talented.
