I just got it by email today - Shauslers recording of the song Scififilmnerd - the lyric, which he wrote himself, has been on my profile page for years and now it has been recorded by himself singing along with a guitar.

The mood of the song fits both the lyric and me perfectly. There's a bit of a rock-feel to it, and I love rock music. I'm telling you, Bob Dylan or Gorillaz couldn't have done it better! Nope.

Shausler's vocal is amazing - from a starting urge to stress the importance of "my voice being heard", building to a chanting crescendo, before dropping to a melancholic repeat of the chorus as the song fades out.

And all that in just 2:18 minutes!

I'm telling you, this is the greatest honor ever to befall me as an orger (except getting copies of - uh, someone else's music from Gooey and Justin and Pandurito and Cynthiasocks), but to actually have a song about ME, and it being not just good, but GREAT too...

Thank you, Shausler. I LOVE you! You've made my day. (Okay, "week", then.) (No, wait, make that "my month".) ("Year"?)

Lotsa and and gratefulness and appreciation. Shausler is THE org songster! He rules!

Something else is imminent, by the way. Stay tuned...

Justin1972UK said:

Okay.

Gosh, I wish you all could hear Shausler perform Scififilmnerd just like I am hearing it right now...

I'm sure, once Shausler's debut album comes out, Scififilmnerd will be the Top 10 hit single. It really IS that good! (Or am I just being prejudiced because it's about me... NO!) It really IS that good.

Man, I just can't stop listening to it...

We all knew he can wax poetic, but imagine that he is also a gifted rock artist!

seriously, can someone post a link to it or what?

JPW said:

Yeah, Michael. Upload it - I'm intrigued.

Justin1972UK said:

Workin' on it. Stay tuned. (And I hope Shaussie won't mind... )

Oh, I forgot to mention some here, like Boris and that guy who sent me a Come-thread related CD-ROM (I've forgotten who it was), but you all know who you are and it was an honor, too.

(...I hope.)

Can't wait to hear what you all think. Bet Shausler can't, either. (And again, I pray he doesn't mind me sharing his tribute to me.)

totally awesome!!

sexinthesummer said:

Yes, isn't it?

I hope Shausler feels proud of his hit song, because he has every reason to.

ok, see now, i thought for some reason that these were supposed to be secret songs..... like maybe it was a secret for each orger on a different day or something, i guess i was confused again.


i got a song a few days ago now that is SOOOO GOOD !!!!!


i will hold on to that one for quite some time - it says the nicest things about me.... made me blush


anyway, Shausler is a very talented man for sure, playing the guitar and all.


thanks again sweetheart, you're wonderful

scififilmnerd said:

thank you my friend

this means a whole lot

this really is a love labor for me

so much more to come


glad to see you back

shausler said:

shaus, will you please do a rockin' version for me? mrdespues or jpw (or both names) will do!

remember the "don't sing no blues, mrdespues..."?

that would be great as a twelve bar blues!

if you used my musican name, john phillip too it would be even better!

Thank you, Serious. You're a favourite, too, but then, you already knew that, didn't you?

And yes, it's a GREAT song!

shausler said:

And I am glad to be back too.

And that you are still here.

And to be welcomed back by my own song

By Shausler, no less. Why...

I feel overwhelmed.
