Giving thanks…

Hola long lost followers,

I’ve been a bit sloppy in the old publishing department… mainly because I’ve been doing a lot of swimming and trying to master Kung Fu.

But, I’m spurred back into literary action by a few things.

Firstly, you may have spotted me at several recent Christchurch benefit functions… raising money for “The Dusties” down in Canterbury.  I didn’t feel it would be fair to directly contribute from my considerable fortune, as that would be a bit like shooting fish in a barrel, when I own the barrel, and it’s already at my house, and I don’t even eat fish.

So instead, I felt that contributing my many talents to a few different fundraisers, was the right move.

Secondly, last Friday night was the celebrity roast, put on by my old friend El Jaguar, roasting my even older friend, Philippino game show hosting legend Johnny Tan.  I was unable to attend in person, but I shot this quick video and musicalised my sentiments, in a long distance tribute.

Here for you, is that tribute to Johnny Tan.

I have a quiet few months now, in my eastern country house, before I hit the road again for June & July… with appearances throughout the former Yugoslavia, England, Switzerland and Canada, then back for nearly a full month with the WOW team, before some heavy involvement with the cruise ship scene.

Until then, if you can’t fuss it, bust it up.

Given with soul,

Vinyl Burns.

I have been authorised to release this never before seen candid promotional footage from Chit Chat legends Vinyl Burns and Derek Flores…

This is the clickable link to the VIDEO footage on the internet – click anywhere on this line.

If you recognise the location of the shoot (Derek and my weekend urban retreat) please do not pass the information to the press… we cherish our anonymity and would have some local mob kids mess you up, should you tamper with our perfect lifestyle.

Yours, drunk on passion and cushions,

Vinyl Burns.

Hooolaaah Revelers.

I trust you all survived the holiday break and are itching to see more action in 2010.

I myself am just about to go into production month on the Chit Chat Lounge 2010 project.  Year four and we’ve enlisted additional writers, wardrobe consultants and renovated the greenroom media suite to allow for the Scandinavian networks to do their simulcasts standing up.

I had hoped to have my people attach a music file to this, to remind you of the good times created at Horse House Studios last summer… but they didn’t know how. So, you can go to…

http://www.vinylburns.com

and find them there.  I recommend “Dancer” – have a listen to that.

We also welcome the newest member of the Chit Chat band, who comes to us from a powerful and inspired James Cameron project…  No names just yet, but you can be sure that three 90 minute rehearsals will have us cooking with the same beige-warm intensity as you felt on the back of your neck last Autumn, walking back from the dairy with some soda powder for those ulcers.

Remember to go to http://www.vinylburns.com and sign up to the mailing list, to receive FREE mp3s of all Vinyl’s hit songs and video clips.

Also, in light of recent terrible events, the Chit Chat Lounge will officially be raising funds, in the form of generous audience donation, for those suffering in Haiti under the strain of fallen architecture and mountain sides.  Rest assured that every cent raised will go towards delicious beverages with which we will toast to the future good health of those good people.

So, stay focused, and tune to the Chit Chat Lounge at the sites below.

I can FEEL it.
