“Welcome To Grammaropolis” Is A Top 10 National Hit!

¡Bienvenido al Noizeletter de mayo! (If you can read that and you live in Arizona, don’t go out to the state-sponsored Cinco de Mayo celebration today. It could, um, be your last American fiesta… That’s just a little strategic tip from your buddy for life, Dr. Noize. De nada, amigos…) On to the Top Five Noizy Thingz…

(1) “Welcome To Grammaropolis” Is A Top 10 National Hit!

My new single, Welcome To Grammaropolis, has climbed into the Top Ten of the Sirius XM Kids Place Live! National Airplay Chart. My last single, Banana, went all the way to #1 on the chart — some of you even heard an orchestral version of it premiered last year. In other words, I don’t release singles; I release mega-singles. (The only difference is the “mega-” prefix, but do not underestimate the power of the mega-prefix. Thank you for your attention to this matter.) If you are a serious Sirius XM listener (thank you, thank you very much) and would like to hear the song, request it! But if you are not a serious Sirius XM listener, don’t contact them to request it. Wanna know why? Here’s why…

(2) Noizemakers Get Totally Busted By Sirius XM Radio!

Several weeks back, Noizemakers nationwide began emailing me to say they were hearing Welcome To Grammaropolis on Sirius XM. Awesome. So I sent a test email to about 1/3 of the Noizeletter list asking them to request the song. Several days later I got an email from Kids Place Live! radio. To paraphrase, it said:

“Dear Dr. Noize, we love the Grammaropolis song and will happily keep playing it on our radio station if you will call off the dogs and ask your fans to stop requesting it every two seconds, particularly the ones who clearly do not even listen to our station. PS we love the floating grammas section.”

Now, this story warms my heart in so many ways: (1) I love the floating grammas section too (if you’ve heard it, you know); (2) You Noizemakers sure know how to make a ruckus when a ruckus is requested; and (3) the folks at XM Sirius are so great to play our song even when we drive ’em crazy. I’m gettin’ weepy just thinking about all the love that’s flying around. On to more Sirius business (thank you again), like…

(3) Download The Hit Single For Just 99 Cents!

You can now download Welcome To Grammaropolis to your MP3 player for just 99 cents online. ’99 cents?!?’ you say to yourself — ‘That’s less than a dollar!’ (That’s right, I can hear what you’re thinking. It’s a bit creepy for both of us, trust me.) On the flip side, it’s more than a quarter. And don’t try to fit a quarter into the slot on your laptop to hear it — that won’t work, grandpa. And remember, you can only hear the famed floating grammas section in the single version — it was too hot for the video! And let’s be honest, the video’s pretty hot right now.

(4) Sold Out Show At Palo Alto Children’s Theatre!

Last month I played a sold out, standing-room-only show at the Palo Alto Children’s Theatre. It was just like the Beatles’ last American tour, except the venue is actually much smaller than the venues they played and therefore it was actually nothing like the Beatles’ last American tour. Still, during the show, the lighting guy was flashing the lights in tempo at the “Chomp!” section of Don’t Be Silly, and that was chomping fantastic. I will definitely be back to perform at PACT in the future. Maybe I’ll see you there. Or not, if you live in Madison or something. Unless, of course, you fly in to see the show. Which you don’t need to, because I’m playing a few shows near Madison next month. I feel like my focus is wandering a bit.

(5) Dayton Voorhees Is Noizemaker Of The Month!

Dayton Voorhees (3 1/2) is Noizemaker Of The Month! Dayton’s dad, Coert, is founder ‘n Mayor of Grammoropolis. See here for yourself here that Dayton is Grammeropolis Cheif Of Police. So thats alot of pressure to be real good like at grammer and stuff; but Dayton can handle it. Like last month he said to his dad; ‘Go over there.’ And his dad was all: ‘Why.’ And Dayton was like ‘Because I’m the adverb, and I get to tell you where to go and how to act.’ And if the Mayor of Grammaropolis hadn’t of did it, him would’ve got him throwed in the slammer. That’s a badge and Dayton’s prepared to use it. (I worked hardly to make my grammer as badly as possible on this paragraph to done gone driven the Mayor of Grammaropolis crazily.) Congrat’s Dayton!

Thanks from yer buddy for life,
