WEEKS TWENTY SIX - THIRTY
(March 4- April 10)

I love planes because they make me concentrate on my Moleskine. Some of my best writing comes out at 30,000 feet. When we touched down in the Los Angeles my shoulders dropped. The weather seemed to make all of the pressures of New York a bit more manageable. We worked in California on lots of different things, but our trip was primarily scheduled to worked with the talented artist and producer, Esthero, on a song called "Too Much to Ask." I also did some vocal performance work on two of our remaining tracks as well. I have uploaded some videos to give you a better look!

WEEK TWENTY-FIVE
(February 26- March 3)

This week I started a no-bread no-sugar DIET. It's one of my tricks for stepping up my game around this time of year. For the last six months or so all of our focus has been on writing and recording the album. Now that we are almost done, we can finally emerge from the DARKNESS and get our bodies back in check. Yesterday I let some sun into our basement studio in the Bronx and Tom actually HISSED. I'm not kidding. When I woke up this morning my running shoes were staring at me. My ass is gonna have to start doing some serious cardio if I'm gonna sing to you for an hour straight every night on tour. I say this as I GORGE on a glorious chicken burrito. Wraps don't count as bread, right?

One of the biggest pains in the ass this week was production on on a song called STOP PRETENDING. The original demo was a very linear dark-wave club track, but we had hopes of it becoming more -- possibly even something that could work on alternative radio. In production we tried improving the song by implementing more chord changes. We experimented with trying new vocal techniques. I even wrote new lyrics and other variations in attempt to make a better hook for the chorus. Nothing we did seemed to work. In fact, we changed the writing so much that we lost the heart of the song. It turned into something that seemed too try-to-hard and false. Ironically, the title of the song told us what we needed to do. Just yesterday we made the decision to strip away all of the changes and revert back to the original demo to start production from scratch. Bells and whistles are nice -- so are pretty chords and strong vocals, but a song is nothing without its HEART.

This week we were nominated for two International Dance Music Awards in the categories of: BEST ALTERNATIVE/ROCK DANCE TRACK for "Give Me Danger" and BEST BREAK-THROUGH ARTIST (group). Voting is open to everyone, so please click below to show your love! It only takes a minute; You don't have to vote for every category and your vote WILL make a difference! The 23rd International Dance Music Awards is a part of the annual Winter Music Conference and will be held in Miami on March 27, 2008.

WEEK TWENTY-FOUR
(February 19- 25)

I always get on here and DOUCHE AROUND for hours before writing this. Maybe that's why I don't finish it until 6am every Wednesday morning. So many distractions online!

I was actually just reading PEREZ HILTON. Kudos to him for providing us with a FEEDING-TUBE for current events. He and JON STEWART actually make people want to pay attention to the world. It's so important, especially these days. We love PEREZ. He gave us our first big break when he covered our ADVOCATE MAGAZINE feature on his site in 2006.I hung with him last time he was in New York. We talked about how all we do is work and when we have time off we like to do lame things like play board games because we're both actually big dorks. He invited me to MTV STUDIOS in Times Square to celebrate NEW YEARS EVE. It was glorious. We are especially psyched for Perez right now because he has become a member of THE FAMILY: He just started doing A&R for WARNER BROS. RECORDS.

This has been another NON-STOP week. We have been tying up all of the loose ends with the songs that are currently in production and finalizing plans for the last ones to be completed. EVERYTHING IS STILL ON SCHEDULE! I have recorded vocals for nearly all of the songs. There are just a couple left AND there is some potentially exciting news about production up our sleeves, but let's wait to see what happens with it before SQUIRTING. More on this soon ...

I have to say that the HIGHLIGHT of this week was hearing the vocal for our song "GOODBYE, GOODNIGHT." Tom says he got goosebumps when he heard it. I think I'm able to keep a pretty objective standpoint on my performance and I have to say I was very excited about it. When it sounds off, I know it (like the experience I went into last week). But when it's on... it's ON baby! I can't wait to let you hear it :)

"Goodbye, Goodnight" was inspired by the feeling of knowing that you have to go, but not being able to pull yourself away. Like, for instance, you are dating someone and the relationship completely blows a la the cons vastly outweigh the pros, but you stay together out of COMFORT. We've all been there.

Until next week!

P.S. So who are we thinking for PREZ? Did you watch the Donkey debate tonight? I saw parts of it and I have to say that I was very impressed by HILARY. The best advise I can give is that, if you can, you should vote. PLEASE take some time to research the candidates (even John McCain). Don't allow yourself to be swayed by the opinions of others. Our future depends on it.

P.P.S. On an even MORE worldly note, The Dangerous Muse MUGS have arrived. They should be available for purchase by the first week of March. Just in time to fill one up with some COFFEE on ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

P.P.S. Join the Dangerous Muse FACEBOOK Group and get my blog sent directly to you! We have just over 100 new members since last week! Let's keep it up :)

WEEK TWENTY-THREE
(February 5- 11)

Little Richard's MULLET saved the Grammys. Again. People ask me if I saw the show, as if it was actually worth watching and not a complete TRAIN WRECK. Where are the idols? Where is the excitement? Why are there so many grannies on the Grammys? Highlights of the evening included: The CIRCE DU SOILEL tribute to the BEATLES, the Daft Punk PYRAMID on the KANYE stage, and TINA working in stilettos at 68 years old. I'm not aroused. Are you?

BEYONCE is the only person who can sing live anymore. PROTOOLS has single-handedly crippled the music community, enabling laziness across the board. You would not believe how many producers would rather twist a knob than take the time to elicit a fitting vocal performance. Just as many singers accept it or even encourage it. It's sad. Let it be known, NO auto-tune will be used on the DANGEROUS MUSE album. We are very adamant about this. I'm no BLUE EYES, but at least you will hear the real me (rather than the sound of some robot-tweaked voice that you believe is me). I promise to give you my heart, not some fake track.

This week I took a couple of sessions with my vocal coach MELISSA CROSS to prepare for my performances for songs "Forget" and "Goodbye Goodnight." We will be recording these later this week. Tom and I continued working on songs "Stop Pretending" and "Forget" with producers JOSH HARRIS and TED OTTAVIANO (respectively) as well as some newly developing songs that we may try to squeeze on the album before we seal it up for the press! We are just a few weeks away.

I'm watching Mark McGrath on EXTRA right now. God, I want someone to put me out of my misery if I ever agree to do reality TV or host a lame show like that.

Will you be my Valentine?

WEEK TWENTY-TWO
(January 29- February 4)

I watch the SUPERBOWL for the commercials, not gonna lie. Everyone's been talking about the E-Trade baby. He was cute, but where's the love for the UNIBROW? I say Planter's wins. I watched the game from my parents' place because I had to take care of some personal shit in Maine. My Dad was born in New York City, so I grew up watching the Giants. Man, was he going ape-shit Sunday night. It really BAFFLES me how we can get so emotionally involved in a game that we aren't actually playing. I mean, I could understand someone shouting at the TV because they are gonna lose their shirt after throwing away TWO GRAND in their office's pool (like my cousin). That's a game I definitely don't wanna play.

After the game I took a taxi, to be safe, into downtown PORTLAND to get a couple drinks. I should have known that the cabi would be wasted on CAPTAIN MORGAN'S. "They screwed up is right," as he literally stopped in the middle of Route 77 to light his cigarette. Granted, there was no one else on the road, but SOMETHING about that scenario hinted at a RED FLAG to me. It actually reminded me of last March when I was heading home to my hotel after a long night in MIAMI at the Winter Music Conference and my cab driver straight-up FELL ASLEEP at the wheel. He drove up on to the highway miridian and nearly flipped us. Ah, the memories of bounding my fists on the bullet proof glass to wake him up. I had a good yell over it. Don't you love warrented yelling? I do.

Downtown Portland is nothing to yap about at this time of year. Boredom can sometimes lead to drinking so much that you trip on your face when you wake up in the morning. But I don't have any idea what that's like. So, yeah, I took a massage appointment the next day to get my body back in working order. I saw my friends Tim and Jane down at THE ESTUARY. I know, sounds sassy doesn't it? Tim beats me up. It's awesome. In fact, if you live in Maine and you are reading this, you should go see him too. He will change your life. Right now he is getting certified in ROLFING. Wikipedia that shit. Let's just say my blocks are alligned.

I guess we should talk a little about the music. Since my last post, we have started production on two new songs. One of my favorites at the moment is one called "Forget." All I have to say is STRINGS, SAX and SEX. We laid down mock-ups for the orchastra and samples of the horns in prep for the live instrumentation. We've also been working on this tune called STOP PRETENDING, which has a pretty killer Giorgio Moroder bass-line and a little bit of an exercist vibe happening. Damn, I wish I could give you all of our secrets!

Like I mentioned last week, Tom and I have only left our apartments to go to the studio. In fact, most of our friends don't even know that we are here in NEW YORK because we've been so removed. When we are not in the studio recording, we are traveling to the studio and discussing what's coming next or listening to the current mixes, and writing even more new material. We try to exercise, but we barely sleep, and barely eat. Though, rarely (as mentioned) we get massaged. It's fine, Tom went to a TURKISH BATH the other day. Gulp. He swears it was innocent, though. He asked me to go too, but I respectfully declined. Maybe next time. Photo op, what? We should definitely have our next shoot in a bath house. Yuck! Er... HOT? You decide.

P.S. Our HEARTS go out to the families who were ripped apart by the tornados this week. Your loss puts the struggles that we all face in gross perspective. We are here for YOU. Hopefully our music can help you escape some of the pain.

WEEK TWENTY-ONE
(January 22 - 28)

I just asked Tom if we did anything outside of the studio this week. He turned away from his computer screen (in the studio, mind you), looked at me blankly, and tossed back the rest of a BLUE MOON. "No." It's true. We are in complete HIBERNATION.

Right now, life is BASIC. We wake up, drink a pot of coffee, hate our lives, realize that things don't suck as much as they could, put on yesterday's clothes and rush to the studio because we are LATE (usually my fault). We work until we can't stand it, come home, eat a SENSIBLE dinner, fall asleep to the DVR, then start working again.

My friends always say to me: "Yeah, Mike, you're life is SO HARD. You're recording an album for a major label -- something millions of people wish they had the chance to do." Like that's somehow suppose to make it easier.

Honestly, the pressures are immense -- not only due to the FINICKY state of the music industry today, but because of the standards that we (and our team) set for ourselves. We have worked so hard to get to this point and there is still so much more to do to have a chance of survival out there. There's a shit ton of frustration, complication, and red tape that make the process sickening at times. But we are STALLIONS. We work until our eyes bleed and then some. In fact, it's 6am on Tuesday night right now and I'm typing to you. That is DEDICATION people. I love you. My contact lenses don't, but I do.

In the midst of all the turmoil and struggle, there comes WAVES OF EXCITEMENT that make everything cool again. Lately, our production process has spawned a heightened sense of AWARENESS. Everything seems clearer. Maybe it's living a more primitive lifestyle (mentioned above). Maybe it's the stars. Maybe it's MAYBELLINE. But something is very right at the moment. I hope that, in your life, you are having a good moment too.

P.S. I drank so much coffee this week that it prompted me to DESIGN a mug for the DANGEROUS MUSE store. I know it may seem a little odd for a band to have their own cup, but it makes sense to me. What do you think? Actually, it doesn't really matter what you think because I already submitted the artwork to the manufacturer and they're already being made so... yeah. I'm pretty sure you'll be down.

P.P.S. Thanks for your messages. I really like hearing from you.

WEEK TWENTY
(January 15 - 21)

I have a CONFESSION to make. I've been seeing someone else. No but for real, not writing to you for eight weeks has made me feel like I'm cheating on you. It's as if you call every Tuesday night and I just let it go to voicemail because I'm playing with my guitar in bed! I've been a bad boyfriend. Will you take me back?

Let's do a brief wrap up of the weeks that you guys missed. Highlights off the top of my head include: 1) Meeting DAVE GAHAN at the New York screening of SWEENEY TODD, 2) Playing ROCKSTAR with my little brother in Maine, 3) Celebrating New Years with PEREZ at MTV Studios. I'm afraid I can't go into detail or my typical comedic anecdotes at the moment because I have started this weekly update probably EIGHT TIMES and always get crushed by the anxiety of recounting everything that I would like to share. If you want me to finish this one, let me off the hook by just saying that!

I bet I can guess the question on your mind (besides how HEATH LEDGER actually died). How is Dangerous Muse production going? My answer: VERY WELL. Not convinced? I want to give you pictures and video content and all of that shit, but I just don't have it at the moment. However, rest assured, that things of this type are on their way. I promise that we haven't just been jerking off the WHOLE TIME. It took us a solid month (excluding our Holiday break) to really pull things together. So far, we have five songs in production. I'll get into all the details with you over the next few weeks because, like I have said, I want you guys to understand how this record is being made.

SIDE NOTE: As I type, I'm watching TV. I just saw the new Crest commercial that RYAN SEACREST is in. God, It's pathetic. He and that girl are such douche bags. PS Do you think they chose him because his name has Crest in it? Lame.

Question for you guys: If you are at work, CAN YOU READ THIS from your office computer? I know that MySpace and Facebook aren't available at some job sites. I've been talking to someone about helping me make this into a live blog/site linked to dangerousmuse.com but I've been too busy to actually make it happen. Would you be able to read it then? Also, what about the swearing? Do your work computers have big STOP signs and shit like that when curse words come up? I desire to know.

WEEK ELEVEN

2007-11-19T12:00:00.000-05:00

(November 13-19)

Hey! How was your week? Good? Good. It's getting mad cold these days and I like it. This is the first time in a couple years that I've been in New York for the entire transition from Summer to Fall and I have to admit that I've fallen into HOLI-GAY MODE. Visions of sugar plum fairies and all that shit are definitely dancing. I have a confession: I love Starbucks xxx-mas drinks. Now dont get me wrong, I'm all about the mama and papa coffee situaitons, but there's just something about a little eggnog chai latte action that gets me going. These days I don't don't have time for much pleasure. I just work until my eyes bleed and then crack the whip on Tom. Basically, I've become a sadomaschist. It's fine. It's all for you. BTW, this is what the yoga sticks REALLY looked like (and the stupid bitch who snapped and killed LINDA STEIN):

This week we had scheduling meetings with TED OTTAVIANO and JUNIOR SANCHEZ at their studios in New York City. Next week we are starting on a new song called "Forever Blue" with Junior (after we recover from the tryptophan).

Some of you have been asking when the record will be available and WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG? I have the answer. What a lot of people don't understand is that the recording and releasing of a debut album on a major label usually takes an average of two years to complete. Typically, when a new band's first single isn't released, their entire album has been recorded. But this was not the case for us. In fact, when we released "The Rejection" we hadn't even started to write the full length! No one expected it to be a hit overnight. We just figured it would be nice to have a little something in the marketplace while we worked on the rest of the album. But literally in the first 24 hours it was released, it went to 2 on the iTunes Dance charts and ever since that day in November 2005 we have busted our asses to write the best album possible. Our two years is almost up!

I wanna really open up and tell you more about what's going on underneath the exterior of Dangerous Muse so you have a better understanding of what we are going through. If you know about our set-backs as well as our accomplishments, you'll get a better understanding of what it's like to be making a record in 2007. Now more than ever, to be successful, an artist must be in complete control of their career inside and out. There is so much more to us than music, lyrics, and UGLY FACES :) Everything about our band, our brand, comes directly from us. Nothing has been handed to us. Until this point, we have been solely responsible for instigating and overseeing all of our own marketing and publicity efforts, booking our own private shows, running our online store (designing, printing, shipping and restocking merchandise). I even design and maintain all of our websites (dangerousmuse.com, myspace.com/dangerousmuse, youtube.com/dangerousmuse, and facebook.com/dangerousmuse, www.dangerousmuse.com/porn). Maybe some day that last link will be real. We have a small team of dedicated people who help us, but the brunt of this machine is independently controlled by us -- not by some faceless person in a cubicle somewhere. All of this takes a lot of time!

Additionally, our move from Cordless Recordings to Sire Records wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. It entailed traversing an UNPRECEDENTED ROAD, riddled in red tape. Although Cordless and Sire are technically a part of the same overarching company (Warner Music) we were the first artists ever to be effectively "upstreamed" to a major label in this way, so nobody knew quite how to handle us. All of the master recordings for the music that we released while on Cordless fell into a custody battle and our contract was in need of re-negotiation. We also had a lot of internal Dangerous Muse business matters which needed to be worked out in order to more effectively deal with larger issues at hand. We acquired a manager, lawyer, and accountant. With their help, we established Dangerous Muse as an limited liability coalition (LLC) and renegotiated the terms of our deal.

Anyway, I don't want to go on too much of a DIATRIBE. I just want you to understand where we are coming from so you guys can take the journey with us. It's not an easy road, but we are on it together! Too cheesy? Fuck you. I love you.

WEEKS NINE + TEN

2007-11-12T21:00:00.000-05:00

(October 30-November 12)

Hello everyone. It's me again. Sorry for taking a break last week without warning. This week you get twice the load. Lots of shit went down, including a murder. LINDA STEIN, the ex-wife of SEYMOUR STEIN (who signed us to Sire Records earlier this year) was beaten to death this past week! So fucked, I know. FYI, it was the assistant, in the trillion dollar fifth avenue apartment, with the "yoga stick!" What's a yoga stick?

Por ejemplo:

Any jokes about the murder weapon aside, Linda's brutal death came as a terrible shock to myself and to the Dangerous Muse team. I remember the last conversation I had with Lynda very vividly. She told me how important it was to do breathing exercises on tour and that when she worked with JOEY RAMONE (THE RAMONES), it was crucial that he went through the exercises to preserve his voice.

Well, I guess where I left off was Halloween. Damn, that feels like forever ago. As you know, Tom and I performed for the SUSANNE BARTSCH Halloween bash at AVALON (the notorious gothic-church-turned-dance-club, formerly known as "Limelight") in New York City. We went as "Dangerous Muse body snatched by neo-raver aliens." The footage from the performance is being edited now. But enough about Halloween.

As I type this, I'm lying on my stomach in bed with my lap top, getting a massage from mi amiga SANDRA KRCMAR, DJ extraordinaire (maybe if I give you a link to her myspace she'll give me a happy ending? http://www.myspace.com/siamese2hearts). Harder.

So lots of shit went down in the past couple weeks. Looking back, not gonna lie, there is a giant span of four days that seemingly go unaccounted for. I think this was the period when I was enveloped in a permanent cloud of smoke attempting to recover from the aftermath of an insurmountable drama. Oh baby the drama was deep and juicy. Unfortunately, I can't let you know all the dirty details (as much as I'd love to). Let's just say that as a result of some "shady business," the music video for "Give Me Danger" didn't "happen" and will not be happening at the moment (well, at least not in the conventional sense)! Are you crying? No? Good. See it wasn't that bad (if you only knew). Instead of scrapping the shoot all together, we decided to have a pretty major photo shoot for press, shot by DAHLEN. The photos turned out so well that we saw the abrupt change in plans to actually be a blessing in disguise. Images on the way!

I have to say that the highlight of last week was when Seymour called me from his office in LA to tell me that all of the things we asked for in our recording budget were approved by the chairman of Warner Brothers and we are green flagged to begin full-on production mode. Woo hoo!

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that this past week was my birthday. I turned 12. On the same night as my birthday dinner, Tom and I went to the OUT 100 event at Cipriani on Wall Street, hosted by TIM GUNN and TORI SPELLING. Last year we performed and this year we just dove head first into the champagne and gawked at JENNIFER HUDSON. She was FEELING it in her white dress and heels. Our friends at BUCKLER hooked us up with some pretty sweet suit ensembles from their Spring 2008 collection. It was nice to see MARC JACOBS outside of the gym and we bumped into an old friend of mine who reps MARY-LOUISE PARKER (WEEDS). She's a keeper. The most unexpected convo I had that night was with BRYAN BATT. I really love MAD MEN, the show that he stars in on AMC. You should check it out if you haven't already. Bryan told me about how the strike is affecting everyone on his side of it and then flashed me a business card for his furniture store in New Orleans. I guess there's always plan B.

Anyway, I have a feeling that these weeks are not going to be getting any less crazy. But I want you and you and YOU to know that I'm a committed boy. I do what I say I will do. Writing to you guys is important to me. But I want to hear more from you bitches. Send me messages and videos of yourselves doing dirty things to our music.

Here's to a Happy Endings!

BACK IN NEW YORK FOR ONE NIGHT

2006-03-03T11:13:00.000-05:00

Last night was insane night of debauchery at The Delancey in New York with our friends from Clear Static and a couple other bands. It was good to see everyone's "arms up" at home again. To open our set, we played a brand new track called "Your Boyfriend's Back," which will be featured on our next release, expected to drop on iTunes this Spring. More details on our next release and upcoming events soon.

2006-01-12T11:09:00.000-05:00

Yesterday night we played for the Cordless release party in Los Angeles. We were totally psyched to see some of our New York friends in the audience and to meet some of our die-hards who drove out to see us. Some of the other acts to perform were Aya Pearde, Maven, and Koishii & Hush. Mikel Korbic was there with a bunch of cameras getting some footage for our most recent video. More soon.

HOT FUCKING PINK AT SCENIC

DANGEROUS MUSE AND DJ CAT HARTWELL IN CHICAGO

2006-01-01T11:08:00.000-05:00

Last night we performed at Funky Budha Lounge for a party called "Mmm..." We went up there with our friend DJ Cat Hartwell from Fannypack. She is amazing. No more "grossin' people out with her cameltoe" because she started a new music project, Holy Hail. Check them out. Anyway, we had these amazing adjoining rooms with insane views of downtown Chicago. It was a good situation. After the show, we had the sickest party ever. Our rooms had jacuzzi's. What. This morning we picked up a few copies of TimeOut Chicago. We had no idea that they did a piece on us. Check it out: Timeout Chicago cover and clippings

DANGEROUS MUSE DOES NEW ENGLAND VFW STYLE

2005-12-24T11:04:00.000-05:00

Last night we did a show outside of Boston in Freetown, Mass. Eric Marcelino, the Paris Hilton of New Bedford, hosted the night at a local VFW. If you don't know what one of those is, you should. There's probably one in your town. Usually they are mad old, have linoleum floors and perfectly ghetto wood paneling. All I have to say is $2 pitchers, $2.50 mixed drinks, and a fierce bartender with two kids and one on the way. Five other bands played that night, lots of great stuff. Our favorites were: "Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch" (a great electro duo in short shorts and high striped porno style 70s bball socks) and "Sex Positions" (an insane hardcore meets electronic music situation with a lead singer who straight up dove into a chicks crotch from stage). WHERE WERE ALL THE CAMERAS? IF YOU HAVE PHOTOS, SEND THEM TO US. As of now, we don't have any pictures of the night, but here are a couple shots of two girls from the show sporting our gear. Our tees will be available online soon. Until then, you can pick one up in Chicago, at our next show.

HAPPY BEGINNINGS AT HAPPY ENDINGS

Last night we performed at Happy Ending for a monthly party hosted by Sheal Kill You (The Look, Visions of the Impending Apocalypse) and Samuel Kirkland (Famous Records). Happy Endings used to be a seedy Chinese massage parlor a couple years ago. It may be known for its endings, but Happy Ending was a happy beginning for our New York City run.
