Back In Full Swing

Haven't posted something new in four months. A relationship came and a relationship went, a new passion has come into my life, self-improvement, pick-up artistry and many other things that put music away for a bit. But I'm proud to announce that I'm back in full swing with some big news. Well, several big things...

1. Little Plastic Stars' second release is in the works.

Almost half of the tracks on it have never seen the light of day. A complete refacing and new concept from what WAS planned on being released for LPS2. You see, boys and girls, while I was (and still am) working on pick-up artistry, I started writing songs that fit the profile of a man on the same journey and it hit me... this is a concept album.

The story is simple with a ton of impact. Boy gets dumped, boy enters the world of pick-up, meets a girl unlike the rest, is torn between the game and the girl, and........ hahahaha.... I'll leave the ending a surprise.

Like I said, new tracks, remastered old ones as well that some of you might have heard before including "Knight In Shining Armor", "Love Has Lost Its Meaning", and "Crazy Eyes", a solid concept and a hell of a lot of love for it.

A third release, and I don't want to give TOO much out, may or ma not be based on alcoholism. You gotta live it to write it. Some of you may know about a track I released a WHILE ago, "The Alcoholic", about my uncle, but what you may not know is how I'm in the beginning stages of alcoholism myself. Should alcoholism be what pick-up artistry is to LPS2, number three will no doubt pack a powerful punch as well.

2. Black Adam's second release is coming as well.

This looks to be coming before Little Plastic Stars' second album. For you fans of Black Adam, you're in for a real treat. I'll be working on this before I work on LPS2 for sure. The tracks are fresh and pretty much ready to go, I just have to do one more glance-over and approval, tweet some of 'em a bit. I've learned some new sound-expansion techniques since then so I'll be incorporating them.

3. Massive organization of all that is Black Adam Music.

Little Plastic Stars, Black Adam, new projects on the horizon, ALL of it is unorganized on the web, splattered outward with no real method to the madness.

Part of the motivation to clean it up was because the store for LPS had SHUT DOWN behind my back. Will never happen again. I got an email from a fan wanting "The Sound of Velvet Crushing" and had been looking for a way to buy it for OVER A MONTH. Never again. A link to the new store will be posted when it's activated. Most likely no later than this week, but I do in fact expect it to be ready within a couple days (or before). We'll see how it goes.

4. New projects.

I can't give too much away, but yes, I'm in the midst of some new possible projects. I want to keep it all hush-hush because I don't know the status of any of it, what I want to do, etc. I've got some solid tracks and ideas, you might have heard the track, "The Housewives of New Jersey" that I posted on Music Alley (formerly "Podsafe Music Network") not too long ago. You would have also seen "Welcome To The Club". Hmm.... something to think about.

Until more news,

Secret Project

You haven't heard much from me lately, I get that. There's a switch-over to the new LPS website that had to come down temporarily, but that was all you heard.

Until now.

You see, boys and girls, Trevor's been keeping his project under wraps. All I can say right now is that it's the follow-up album to Truths, Lies, And Lullabies, BUT IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST THAT.

More to come,

Trevor.

New Track: "Rest Your Weary Head" + Weekly New Tracks No More

Long time, no tracks. 'Til now! Been pre-occupied with improving myself outside of music. This is and never will be a hiatus, I'm simply exploring life by giving less time to music creation.

I'm taking a step back in terms of "every week". This was a fun experiment. Now, it's gonna be a whole new level of awesomeness every time there's a new track because you'll never know when it'll happen!

If you're still pissed, blame it on the following people and things...

Neil Strauss' "The Game"
David DeAngelo and his awesomeness.
Larry King
http://www.plentyoffish.com/
Real Social Dynamics
My newly-discovered life.
Women
Work
I'm moving in two years to **************, FL (to be determined).

Oh, and http://mrawesomeandthegirl.blogspot.com/

-----------------------------------------

REST YOUR WEARY HEAD

Darling, rest your weary head.
Come on, nothing's under the bed.
I'll stay and watch you sleep if you want.

I promise I won't make a sound.
You won't even know I'm there.
While I start to dream myself.

Nothing's coming after you
While I'm watching over you.

There's a movement underneath
And a language that the body speaks that's
louder than any word can say.

There's sunshine on all things.
And flowers that grow on trees.
And way too many things
That make me smile this way.

New Track: "Love Has Lost Its Meaning"

Came up with a pretty awesome song a little while ago. Great timing as it IS Wednesday, the day of new material to be shown to you all.

The song is called "Love Has Lost Its Meaning" and is broken up into three movements. It also acts as an intro to Knight In Shining Armor because of how it ends with the line "...can never harm her."

As always you can find the track through http://www.littleplasticstars.com/ OR the direct link is http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=8ce0e60a91defafd9b4281be271e6701.

LOVE HAS LOST ITS MEANING

1-2-3-4

For everything that you need,
I'll be everything that you need baby.
Just say the words.
Just say the words.

For everything that you do,
I'll be right there rooting for you.
Just say the words.
Just say the words.

"I love you."
"I love you."

---

In this era of drama
And sugar for mama,
Love has lost its meaning.
It's void of any kind heart.
When the words must be imparted,
There's no feeling.

---

So don't
Misuse
The words
That all
Have fought for.

Love.

"...can never harm her..."

Love and Ciao,

Trevor.

Exclusive New Track: Knight In Shining Armor + "Featured On..."

Getting back into the swing of things after a short break in new weekly music, I've recently given you some new sounds to evaluate. This week's is no difference. To me, the track is SO good that I couldn't just "upload it" like all the others. Nope. When you've got a track this good, you've gotta make a big deal about it, so I gave it to good friend and podcasting guru Les Zaldor for the debut release of it.

Before I go any further, the link is here. Episode 218.

Along with the track, I also sent him a commentary to go along with it describing the song and what it represents to me. That's heard before the song. Enjoy and cherish both.

The track goes up on Podsafe Music Network come Sunday.

...

KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR

There's a helipad in my head for when I wish to dream
Of smiling, laughing, giggling you.
There's a lighthouse in my heart for when it's safe to dock
And all the while the clock keeps ticking.

There's a monster inside my heart and the name I gave it was your's.
I thought they'd fit so nicely together.
I said words I can't repeat to combat words you throw.
I hope we'll make it work someday.

'Cause I can't help but think that it's all part of one big plan.
And that by the end of it all, I won't have a leg to stand on.
Oh please, baby please, tell me I'm your one and only man.
"Knight in shining armor" and that whatever I do can never harm her.

I saw love that I had to have. Didn't think about the cost.
Next time I'll be wasting wisely.
I'm so glad that I've got time to deface and derail.
I'll let it all die off in hiding.

'Cause I can't help but think that it's all part of one big plan.
And that by the end of it all, I won't have a leg to stand on.
Oh please, baby please, tell me I'm your one and only man.
"Knight in shining armor" and that whatever I do can never harm her.

New Track: Giving Up Never Felt So Good

So it goes like this: In the absence of new music for you and by me, I had come back with a new sound. More... "bandy". I like it, but I wanna see what you all think.

By the way, as always, new tracks are heard at...

http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=8ce0e60a91defafd9b4281be271e6701

...or, one could go to the official site http://www.littleplasticstars.com/ for all links concerning Little Plastic Stars.

The song is "Giving Up Never Felt So Good" and it goes like this:

...

It felt right at the time, but we soon gave up
After he threw up two shots of tequila, the worm and the lime
On the host of the party, she said it was fine.

She was too high to care much, said the vomit was cool - added a nice touch to an
olive-green rug that she got from her mom. She threw it out - said they never got along.

And so I laughed at the fact that we all got smashed while the rug got trashed.
She got stoned and eventually crashed on the couch that she got from her mom.

We went out for a while, but I had to stop 'cause I felt like a child
Everytime she drove, she just smiled and said
"You know, I really don't mind." But I did.

How can life be fair when all the old problems keep coming back?
I've yet to grow up, but you seem fine with that. I can't love you anymore.
How can you just stare like a wet fish on dry land. Move your gills slowly, turn on the tear glands.
Giving up never felt so good.

Your tears of sadness, my tears of joy.
That boy inside, that boy must die.
If you can't live your life the same
May you walk that walk of shame.

How can life be fair when all the old problems keep coming back?
I've yet to grow up, but you seem fine with that. I can't love you anymore.
How can you just stare like a wet fish on dry land. Move your gills slowly, turn on the tear glands.
Giving up never felt so good.

...

Let me know what you think. If I don't hear anything from anyone, I'm just gonna start getting in touch with you and asking you on the spot!

I've got another track I'm working on with the same "bandy" feel. Enjoy.

As far as a new track every week, I can't guarantee it, but I'll definitely give it the best I can. I'm JUST getting into actually driving, I'm busy switching up my life more positively, meeting womenz... I've suddenly become a busy man.

Love and Ciao,

Trevor.
