Gotta Go

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

The first single from the new Tomorrow’s Man album Toxicocktail available on Amie Street!

Gotta Go is the opening track from the album Toxicocktail, a bendy amalgam of prog, industrial, trip hop, and experimental ambient.  The album version of Gotta Go is in three parts and clocks in at over nine minutes; the single version (gunshot change edit) is a remix of part two, and features a strong industrial mix and funky bass-heavy rhythm.  Lyrics to Gotta Go are on the Discography page.

Gotta Go will be available Tuesday January 13, and the first dozen downloads on Amie Street will be free free FREE, so enjoy and scoop’em up!

The single also features the album version of “E” from Toxicocktail, and a remix of “Dying & the Trees” from the forthcoming soundtrack to Sleepless.  “E” contains a sample found in the track Wish on the amazing album Kenotic by Hammock.

Oh So Alive

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

I have the great pleasure to be teaming up again with longtime collaborator Amy Ketchum — the soul siren who lent her stunning vocals to “Nocturnal Requiem” — for what will surely be oodles of sonic fun and gorgeousness in 2009.

For a teaser checkout Amy’s MySpace page for her mix of our first new collaboration, a sexy-as-hell cover version of “So Alive” by Love and Rockets.

The everlovely “Nocturnal Requiem” is available thru Amie Street on the Absinthe of Light EP.

Media, Media, Media!

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Feverishly working to get tomorrowsman.com up and running and relevant again, so I’ve spent the last 48 hours working on content of all types, including archived articles, older books, free album releases, artwork, and videos. I can’t even link to’em all — just check out the links to the right.

One page I’ll pimp is that of my New Year’s Day 2004 interview on WORT FM; somehow, I managed to embed a media player without blowing up the internet. Sweet.

Cheers,
TMan

TMan.com Off the Ground

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

At last it seems I’ve gotten my feet under maintaining this website.  Before we go a step further into the bliss’d Icelandic sunrise, a moment of honor for Mike Hairston, webmaster extraordinare, who maintained tomorrowsman.com for ten freaking years while this codephobic surfmonkey waited for internet technology to catch up (er, catch ‘down’) to my skill level (none) and interest in maintaining an online presence (high).  At last, all events have horizoned, and there’s no one to blame for this site, it’s layout, it’s content, and it’s effectiveness, but yours truly.

Thank you with the love of ages, Mike.

Yours truly,

Barack “TMan” Obama

P.S.: Visit Mike and I at his eternally awesome homepage, Snow of Butterflies.

Bitten In Fours

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

More testing of the new site, including scheduled posts and addition of content.  This one’s a freebie of my first chapbook (done 90′s style).

Bitten In Fours was my first collection, and the inexperience shows in a voice that was so nugatory I could’ve filled a Three Musketeers bar.  However, for a first effort my passion was clear.
