Well its around 10 pm New Jersey time, and I’m here in Felix the Cat headquarters. We are working out of the recording studio here, tracking one of my songs called “Taste For Blood”. I’m working with producer Warren Hibbert straight outta Jersey!!!!!
Felix the Cat is EVERYWHERE. This is also where all the Felix shiz goes down. I met Felix’s owner Don Oriolo today. Don is an exciting, charismatic person, who could very well be a cartoon character himself! He has a great energy about him, and there is MOST IMPRESSIVE artwork all over this building. His paintings are incredible.
Its really interesting to the see the evolution of a cartoon. The way that something like that can develop over time, develop with technology, develop through the eyes of its creators, and then watch the use of it in pop culture also seem to mould the culture itself.
One thing I know for sure, is that working on music in place the every door is painted a shade of pink, purple, blue, red, green, yellow, etc… its pretty hard not to be in a good mood, and not to grow a little “loopy” after 4 red bulls and 3 days of writing/recording.
Its been a really interesting experience so far. I think I’m finally starting to zero in on a unified sound, and a way of expressing exactly what it is I want to say.
