The only person on Earth who can best Elton John at his own “Rocketman” is, without a doubt, William Shatner. The only person cooler than William Shatner? Barack Obama.

The not-terribly-mysterious Flash Gordon project is, of course, taking longer than I had imagined. I’m squeezing in time for it where I can and it’s certainly coming along, but I realize I can’t let it be the only art I produce, lest this blog languish and my skills grow rusty.

So here, fine ladies and gents, is a tribute to my love of wordplay. I give you, “BAROCKETMAN.”

Hi all!

December was a wacky month, what with the holidays, the snow, and the H1N1 I not-so-happily endured for a week (not to mention the long-lingering hacking cough).

But now we’re well into 2010, and things are looking up! This mysterious Flash Gordon project is starting to really gel on my end. For your ears, I present a clip from the project’s music, specifically the section I featured a little while back. This is very much a rough draft. I’ll be rerecording the voices soon and then mastering them to sound all super-awesome and such.

Okay folks, just hit the play button below. Enjoy!
