P.H.A.T. TUESDAYS PRESENTS…

P.H.A.T. Tuesdays is a commitment made by Matthew Ryan, Frank Scerbo and myself to put time aside on a weekly basis to (try to) be creative. Like most good things, it was inspired by Kanye West. His G.O.O.D. Fridays series was a weekly MP3 release through the fall of 2010 where each week Kanye and some of his friends bunkered down in his Hawaii studio and recorded a new song. The weekly track was then offered up to his fans for free on his website every Friday night.

Motivated by that leverage of technology and coupled with a pun on the idea of Fat Tuesday (also known as Mardis Gras), P.H.A.T. Tuesdays is our version of Kanye’s idea. Wikipedia explains the origin of Fat Tuesday as follows: “[it is] the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which started on Ash Wednesday”. In other words, it was a social function for peasants to get all of the rowdy and gluttonous behaviors out of their system before being starved and repressed. Matt, Frank and I all work multiple jobs and take classes. We’re hoping that P.H.A.T. Tuesdays will provide a similar function for creativity. It will hopefully force us to continue to be creative and get the ideas that float through our heads during our 9 to 5s out of our noggins and into something real.

Our first offering is a new song from our band dudebroman. It is called “Motor Mouth” and we hope you enjoy it.
