astronautalis:

last week i posted about getting the most unvbelievable and exciting email i have ever received, and in almost ten years of touring and making music all over the world, that’s saying something! Many of you ragged on me for the cliffhanger, and speculated wildly when i told you i couldn’t tell you about said mindblowing email. While many of your theories were exciting, none of them even came close to how unreal the REALITY of the situation is.

The email came from Harley-Davidson (…yup!), asking me to be a part of a project called, “Harley’s Taste of Freedom Tour”. Harley hand picked 5 guys, all working independently and pushing boundries in their respective fields—everything from art to athletics—and over the next 6 months they’ll be bringing us together periodically to teach us about Harleys, how to ride Harleys, and in the end, customize our very own Harley-Davidson Motorcycle.
that i get to keep!
FOREVER!
!!!!!!

yeah, i know…i am losing my danged mind over here!

I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around this, but it all came together in the last 7 days, and now, improbably, i find myself in Montreal to attend Harley Bootcamp AND UFC 158!

what?! AMAZING!

There is so much more to say, and over the next 6 months, i’ll be travelling all over, documenting all of this insanity, and even having stuff to give away to y’all. But for now, i have to get going to my first meeting with the folks from Harley and the rest of the guys involved in this amazing project!

So, I’ll leave you with this: i’m not just in the line of work that i’m in to write songs and yell them at folks in night clubs. i tour the way that i tour, and live the way i live, because i am collecting stories and i am chasing knowledge, i am in it for the damn adventure of it all…

…and this looks like one of the best damned adventures yet! (at the road)

doyouwantsomepeanuts:

Astronautalis is the guy whose rap content includes Washington’s crossing of the Delaware (“Trouble Hunters”), a family of con artists (“The Wondersmith and His Sons”), the creation of the periodic table of elements (“Dmitri Mendeleev,” which also quotes Archimedes), and insane fanatical preachings (“Holy Water”). He literally describes his music, which blends hip hop, folk, and indie rock, as “historical fiction hip hop.” Each song has a really coherent concept behind it and in my submission his lyrics are generally the smartest and cleverest in hip hop (watch one of his freestyles if you don’t believe me). Basically just listen to him if you want to show everyone how intelligent you are.

This person makes a good point as to why you should all help with the secret project. We’re dissecting the historical aspects of his words.

Astronautalis - The Wondersmith and His Sons

Saw this guy live accidentally last night in the process of seeing Why? perform. He was brilliant, best set out of all three. Dapper, witty, charming and well dressed, as well as obscenely sociable. Wish I had been brave enough to talk to him.

Weird thought, me not being brave enough for something.

So I’ve just realized how much fun it is to go through the Astronautalis tag simply to see the amazing things fan do.

Please show off your talents, AstroFans! It can’t be easy rapping and playing guitar at the same time…
