Juice Mouse Zero Friday
Well this weeks "special" person is Juice Mouse Zero, one of the few rock stars I know. Juice and I have been friends for a while, and I even went up to New York last year to check him out as he played a festival in the city. I must say it was rather entertaining.

Another Vain and Shallow Moment for the Rock Star JMZ, notice the paparazzi all around him.
But Juice Mouse Zero is just the cover up name for the real person behind the music Stockholm Reinbock III. If it wasn't for the fact that this guy produced such talented music, well I doubt I would really hang with him. His show antics have created quiet the stir. Recently Rolling Stone stated
"JMZ may be a lame guy, but put him on stage, and he's a lame guy thats a few feet higher than everyone else. But somehow JMZ overcomes this, we attribute it to the fact he usually throws large bills into the crowd during the show. No one has put a stage act like on since the late Wesley Willis".
The good news, JMZ has released his latest EP on Misconstrued Records. You've heard him before and one of the tracks on the Misconstrued Album. However JMZ new EP is a real masterpiece. It shines on most all songs, being a little weak in the opening. But songs such as Abstract Math and The Pseudo-Lamentations of the Musaceae are solid rock songs. He even shines on the techo/rock based A Spark Neglected Burns the House. (It will remind you of Bside Radiohead). I recommend you look at getting this EP, along with the misconstrued album. Overall the sound is a cross of Incubus with the Jam moments of Phish.
An amazing opportunity is purchase of the Special Edition of the CD. The price may be steep, but it includes a special performance at your house, and its been reported also that JMZ will shave his head and eat the shavings while on fire during the performance. He will also work for free for you for a year, doing most anything.
Anyway, JMZ... a bit sperratic, erratic, dramatic. But a great artist with a great new EP The Pseudo-Lamentations of the Musaceae.
Comments
Sweet. About time this genius got his time in the spotlight. I have things to be envied, including an ancient (possibly unreleased) compilation of his early work. That is in possesion of me and only me. Though I made I think three copies for other people, but only I have the original (maybe)!! It contains a number of techno beats and mixes, a few acoustic guitar solos and a cover of a song that I cannot mention because it is too awesome. Dance to this CD.
Also I have slept at the foot of the bed that he shared with a bronze adonis, while he serenaded us (shirtless), with a live rendition of "Laying Down".
Furthermore I inspired the title of this latest EP, as well as it's title track with my short story of the same title.
And so but this man is a modern day "David Lancaster" (and I mean that in all seriousness) and deserves exactly three more fridays, the first two consecutively following this one, the third one coming at a currently undecided (or at least secret) date.

Hi ya' Jon Houser...we've never met, but I have to ask...(even though I know the answer must be yes, because how many Jon Housers can there be in this world?)...would you be the jon houser who currently resides in Kentucky? If so, your legacy already precedes you here in GA. Scary, isn't it???

Good lord. How did this happen? Was it my writing? Or simply other horrific stories passed on, not by me directly, but rather inspired by my own actions then recorded for future generations (or in this case present generations of a different local)?

Jon, as much as I would love to leave you in suspense...apparently you know one of my good friends, who until this year was a part-time KY resident herself. I've read some of your 'creative writing' that she had. I'm not sure if by telling you her name on a public website I would be risking blowing her cover in the witness protection program...so just in case I will leave you wondering for the moment. I can tell you that in some circles we are known as 'the evil twins'...does that remind you of anyone you know?

I would just like to point out that before JMZ was on Misconstrued Records he signed with Airbag Records. Alas, Airbag fell to the beasts. Be kind Misconstrued - the Mouse is brilliance personified.
And Houser - I have more tracks than you would ever hope to have - all the early stuff and more. Unreleased versions and b-sides - remixes and bare acoustic recordings. Maybe one day the full grasp of JMZ's astounding musical genious will come to the fore. JMZ has great stuff, and if you don't have any of their music you need to get a hold of it. It's worth the money.

Thanks guys, and thank you hot Mexican women. I love you all. I hope you buy lots of things. Thank you, I Stockholm, will inform my band mates, David Wallace on drums and Javann Jones on bass, of this bit of rockitude here today.

JMZ is da splice. Direct adult, cuz.

Yeah, Keats, well, I've seen his butt many times. Beat that.
And Emily. The only person I can think of is Ann Burnett. Much like the termite who gets infected by pesticides and returns to the hill, she got some of my stories and returned to GA. Gradually all will be polluted. I am conquering the south gradually. TN,KY,AL, now GA. I spread like a disease passed on through the mind.
Also, I have a capuccino maker now. Anyone want a mocha?

To Houser: I don't really know that I'd be publicly procalaiming that I've rutinely seen JMZ's butt on a public website. In a more positive light, I guess that does make uh nevermind......
And to beat that, well, I don't know that I really need to - again, it doesn't sound like something I'd be proud of.....

I've seen Keats' butt plenty of times.

Believe you me, Keats, had you seen what I have seen you too would be proud. You would scarcely be able to keep yourself off of the rooftops to proclaim it.
