To quote Rico, from Six Feet Under...
What the fuck? What the fucking fuck?
In the course of a month, my favourite artist on the face of the earth, Joshua Radin, has gone from an unsigned, self-produced, relatively unknown singer-songwriter splitting his time between NYC and LA, to an artist signed with Columbia Records and opening for Bob FUCKING Dylan.
And I still have yet to see him live. The chances of that ever happening now? Like...slim to nil. I would honestly give an arm and a leg just to find out when these concerts are happening and the remaining arm and leg to get in to them.
Seriously. Seriously? I mean, kudos and all that. And obviously totally well-deserved. But it's a mite fast, neh? In a month his website has changed into third-person, his blog's turned totally empty and he's been on both KCRW and late-night television.
This should be very interesting. As long as they don't turn him into the next John Mayer or James Blunt or you know...whatever. Integrity. Keeping his integrity and sticking with the Hotel Cafe would be really awesome. Up until now, I haven't really read anything from him that would suggest otherwise, but you know...anything's possible.
Wow. I mean. Wow. What the fucking fuck?
EDIT: I just saw the post he made about the Dylan concert on myspace. It says the record will be out from Columbia in May and THEN he'll go touring with Dylan. This implies summer tour. Damn. I hope they have tour dates between the beginning of May and June 12th, or like...tour dates at the end of August. Because seriously? If I miss this, I may die.
