YOU'RE...ON THE DOOR. starring amanda & brendan maclean. (Patreon)

HOLA MY DEARS....

i'm barely just recovered from the dresden dolls mayhem....but this surprise release has been burning a hole in my pocket and NOW IS ZEE TIME - we just finished it in secret a couple weeks ago.

the whoooole story is on the project page....but long story short: me and brendan maclean were sharing a dressing room, made a stupid joke, and after two and half years of going back and forth, we finally have the stupidest 8-minute dance song known to man. it's called "ON THE DOOR" and it stars sarah silverman, the writer neil gaiman, patton oswalt, reggie watts, kirsten vangness, and a ton of other people....it's so wonderful and awful. and makes me dance.

 and once again: this never would have happened without the patreon. so thank you for existing. you are making me (us) make art....for better or worse.

and on a serious note for a second. the fact that i am able to release something as sincere as the Dad Record, and then as community-beautiful as the dresden dolls webcast, and then as unexpectedly ridiculous as this song....only on patreon. this really is how i LOVE WORKING. please remember that, and take joy in the fact that you are making this possible for me and my collaborators. you may love the folk stuff, or the dolls stuff, or the silly techno stuff, or the solo piano stuff (coming soon...:D)....but it's all a GESAMTKUNSTWERK, my friends,  none of it exists in a vacuum. 

and now.... here it is:

all the links (youtube, vimeo.....and FREE ON bandcamp thanks to this patreon) are on this project page. ($3+ people, watch your inboxes for your own download code, and $5+ people, you're getting something special that' didn't make it onto the song....)

now....please go out and share it with pride!!! use #OnTheDoor so that we can all follow the convo. this song has no "official" release. it exists. that's all. if you don't share it, only you will hear it. no record label and no journalists are going to do that work.

i love you all....

....plus four.
