From mig-music.com. This is his latest blog but has such great news about his NEW ALBUM #wahooredeyespopping# #icon95# #partytime# #thblissysmile# #thblissysmile# #thWooHoo2# I thought it deserved its own thread. Here is the link so you can leave comments mig-music.com/fr_diary.cfm.LIKE A VIRGIN... I really do need to write more regularly. What has happened in the last few weeks has kept me spinning like a top all around the world. I found myself yet again jetting around the world, recording, writing, performing and spending quality time with my family. When your Dad turns 80 years old, you DON’T miss the party, even if it’s on the other side of the world. So here I am in Sydney, Australia, celebrating with my whole family this incredible milestone. He is looking like a man 10 years younger and is as fit as a fiddle. It has been a wonderful time seeing all my nephews and nieces and brothers and sisters, not to mention my unstoppable parents. I am very blessed with such a magical family. We are far from the perfect clan, but I wouldn’t change them for anything! I took the opportunity to come to Sydney to then work with an old friend who I have admired and played and wrote with since I was 17 years old. Carl Dimataga and I have always promised ourselves we would make a cd together, and now finally we are. He has grown as a producer, writer and musician every day, and as also one of my closest friends, this cd is truly a labour of love and I am very excited about how it’s coming out. I hope to have it done in a couple of months or so. We did hit a speed bump along the way. We (Carl, Axle Whitehead and I) played at a private party for the heads of Virgin Blue Airways and they invited us that night to be VIP passengers on the inaugural V Australia flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles, stay at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Boulevard and then join the star-studded party at the Chateau Marmont. How could we refuse an offer like that?! Sure it took us away from the studio for a few days, but it was well worth the diversion! The V Australia crew were gorgeous, attentive, bright, buzzing, gorgeous (did I say that already?) and just plain brilliant. The new 777 we flew on was awesome (I love that new plane smell). I have to say it was a flying experience I will never forget! Thank you V Australia… I need some Advil… Happy Birthday Dad!! Always love, MiG x

I am so jazzed to hear that MiG is working with Carl Dimataga on the album. Those two have put out some great music together! The whole flight gigs...wow, just wow. Obviously the boyz totally impressed the suits when they played the private party!!!! That must have been a really cool but LOOOONNNNGGGG adventure!

Thanks for posting the blog and link to leave comments, Mary Beth! It's great MiG took a little time from work to have a ball on the spur of the moment trip to LA. Those execs have good taste, I must say!
Carl D. and MiG are an excellent combination of talent. It's such exciting news to share!

mig-music.com/fr_diary.cfmIF YOU'RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO Ok. Here we go. New year. New decade. New tour. New era. New job. New album. New York. Everything is like starting again, but not in the way of starting again from scratch. I am riding high on a new exuberance and excitement that I haven't felt since I first knew that the girl opposite me was the girl I have waited for all my life, that comes once in a life-time and sometimes, sadly, not at all. I guess it's because I feel there is no longer the weight of expectations on my shoulder. The pressure of having to deliver so much with so little tools at my disposal has gone. Despite last year being professionally the hardest one for me, it was like a baptism of creativity and revelations, washing me free of preconceptions and the burden of unrealistic expectations. I cannot really explain why I feel this way, but it is all encompassing, enveloping me like a warm blanket at the beginning of a marathon movie festival on the couch with my girls. It is tangible, but inexplicable. Maybe it's because I started the year with a bang. A Broadway debut. It might not seem much but for a guy who's been trying to get ahead in the hardest city in the world, finally getting the chance to show what I can do is like I have a renewed belief in myself. Thinking I was delusional there for a while like some cracked out American Idol auditionee, doing BURN THE FLOOR on Broadway was a shot in the arm for me. I play a very little background role in it all. It's all about these incredible super hero-like gods and godesses that dance around me. But I feel so great to be part of such a wonderful show with such a wonderful story behind it all. The people behind the show have been working on this for years and to see their triumph in New York, let alone be part of it, is a true 'Mouse That Roared' story that rivals any I've heard. Maybe it's because I'm half way through finishing a new cd: my sophomore offering I have been working on in Sydney with hot gun producer/songwriter and old time friend Carl Dimataga. I am on my way to put the finishing touches to it all. I hope to have it done before too long so as to sell it at BURN THE FLOOR shows and online, but it won't be done until it's done. No clinical deadlines to squeeze out any half-baked puppy please! Not sure when or if I will ever have the chance to do another disc, so this one's going to have to do for a while. It's sounding great and I am feeling so excited like an expectant mother! My baby! Maybe it's because I've just had a very significant, mind altering, life re-assessing milestone birthday and was showered with love and affection from everybody in my life, making me feel so loved. I was totally spoiled rotten and loved it. My transition into my next era was painless (despite for a bout of a stomach virus) and in fact the best birthday I have ever had! It will make every birthday from now on seem an anti-climax. Maybe it's because I can't wait for the Winter Olympics...? Maybe it's because I am writing this 30,000 feet above the earth on the way to San Francisco and my Airborne has just kicked in...? Maybe the oxygen masks need to drop down...? Maybe it's because they're bringing out the snack cart from the kitchen... maybe not. Whatever it is, I am hurtling head-first into a new direction and a fresh beginning, letting go of disappointments, missed opportunities, the 'shoulda', 'coulda', 'woulda' s. New York. If I can make it there... Always love, MiG X ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I received this in my inbox from mig-music. It had me grinning ear to ear and I know you will love this blog too. I will also post it on MiG's blog page
