TYSON'S MINDLESS AND OFTEN OVERLY WORDY RAMBLINGS

2012-03-06T00:31:00.001-08:00

Damn tonight was freakin fun

2012-03-05T19:19:00.001-08:00

Night on the town with one of the two badassiest chicks I know from Des Moines. Look up Hath No Fury.

2012-03-05T13:31:00.001-08:00

Don't mistake narcissism for what is oftentimes unbearable insecurity and self loathing. Sometimes you can hear or see it in their art.

2012-03-05T06:28:00.001-08:00

Rockfest lineup? Only 3 bands that I like. Only one I'd want to actually see. I've seen the other two numerous times. Your thoughts?

2012-03-04T19:06:00.001-08:00

Jerry's Lenexa tonight - Me, Clayton Senne and the super sexy Stolen Winnebagos.

2012-03-04T16:50:00.001-08:00

Jerry's Lenexa - Tonight - 9:00 showtime. I'm excited to see all my old friends. It feels like it's been forever.

2012-03-02T16:36:00.001-08:00

Country Clubs are funny. And weird..........

2012-03-02T15:07:00.001-08:00

I heard there was a blizzard this morning? It's 55 out now. Crazy. Headed to a piano show with Amy. Then to Howl At The Moon for the rest of the night

2012-03-01T12:00:00.001-08:00

Need an acoustic duo or small band for St Patrick's Day afternoon from 2-5. Anyone interested?

2012-03-01T08:07:00.001-08:00

Oreo cookies, Pop Rocks, Pez and a can of Monster for breakfast. Oh and a banana. I'm healthy. (Sarcasm)

2012-02-29T23:54:00.001-08:00

Great fun at the jam tonight. Saucy Jack, 816, Far Beyond Driven, Starship Troopers, Sebass, Sweet Billy, Tommy and Miss Lou, Sib & Nate! Thank You!

2012-02-29T11:02:00.001-08:00

Tonight at Harley's and Horses across from Worlds Of Fun, I'm hosting an "all star jam" with some of Kansas City's all time greatest musicians! Do it!

2012-02-27T18:58:00.001-08:00

I'm very excited to continue my Breaking Bad marathon tonight. Season 3, Ep 2 starts in 15 minutes!

2012-02-27T11:16:00.001-08:00

Who is your favorite lead vocalist in Kansas City? Name the band too (if they're with one) in case I haven't heard them before.

2012-02-27T06:42:00.001-08:00

Johnny Dare Morning Show.....even if it was 30 seconds, it was nice to hear King's X on FM radio even if it was for sad reasons. Get well Jerry!

2012-02-27T06:15:00.001-08:00

so much to do today, and I want to do none of it and go back to bed. I want to have a Bruno Mars kind of lazy day. Ah well. The grind is calling.

2012-02-26T02:08:00.001-08:00

I can't wait to see my bed. Two nights off, and then a 6 night run begins Tues. Howl Tues, Thurs-Sat, H&H Grill Wed w/the all star Jam, Jerry's LX Sun

2012-02-25T12:26:00.001-08:00

Sooo ready for a good rockin night at Howl At The Moon. I've missed the crew the last couple nights. Gonna go practice! Wanna try some new songs 2nite

2012-02-25T11:04:00.001-08:00

Phone is back working again. Sorry if I missed any attempted calls.

2012-02-24T22:52:00.001-08:00

My last thought of the night: does anyone ever dial "0" for the operator anymore? Do operators even exist anymore? &When was the last time u used 411?

2012-02-24T08:59:00.001-08:00

Today feels like a Minor Threat/GG Allin/Suicidal Tendencies kind of day

2012-02-23T22:33:00.001-08:00

Today marks the end of a wonderful era for me....... Here's to new beginnings. Listen to "Dreaming With A Broken Heart". It's a great song.

2012-02-23T12:19:00.001-08:00

My phone cannot make or receive calls right now (very annoying). Texts, emails, or fb please to get a hold of me until this issue's resolved. Thanks

2012-02-19T08:54:00.001-08:00

Voice is finally getting a couple days off. Had a lot of fun at Howl and getting to know a few more people.

2012-02-17T13:38:00.001-08:00

Today is a Sepultura's Arise kind of day. Howl At The Moon all night. Special guest rockin Dean Laber in the house and Amy's back! Lots of fun ahead!

2012-02-14T23:34:00.001-08:00

Insomnia = not good when sick. Crap. Where's mah druuugs! NyQuil! Shots shots shots! Whut?

2012-02-13T21:02:00.001-08:00

BTW, happy birthday Mr. Rollins. Thans for giving my confused, angry, and misunderstood teenage years some great music and stories to relate to.

2012-02-13T11:23:00.001-08:00

20-30 years from now when the legends like McCartney, Springsteen, Campbell, etc have retired or passed on who will be the legends still standing?2032

2012-02-13T09:51:00.001-08:00

Upper respiratory tract infection..... I was close.

2012-01-27T20:22:00.001-08:00

BK Bar in the PNL. Soooo yummy :)

2012-01-26T18:31:00.001-08:00

Thank you SLAM Radio! That was fun!

2012-01-26T05:37:00.001-08:00

Tonight I'll be featured on SLAM Radio. It's an internet station, so you can listen from anywhere! 7:00 PM Central Time!

2012-01-26T05:16:00.001-08:00

Photos from 2012 NAMM Show are up on my facebook page should you choose to peruse through them at your leisure :) They're all phone-camera pics, so...

2012-01-25T23:11:00.001-08:00

"Cannot kill the family battery is found in me..."

2012-01-25T22:44:00.001-08:00

How did my Star Wars stormtrooper family photos get no lovin? It's freakin brilliant!

2012-01-25T18:36:00.001-08:00

Headed to Howl At The Moon in Downtown KC. It'll be good to see the homecrew.

2012-01-25T18:26:00.001-08:00

Is greatly resisting the sudden urge to smoke. I won't do it, but man does it sound good.

2012-01-25T12:31:00.001-08:00

Don't you just hate eyeball headaches? Putting together a really fun lineup for the Feb installment of H&H's "All Star Jam". Also, SLAM Radio Thurs!

2012-01-15T16:17:00.001-08:00

"My dad's not going to do anything in 20 years because he'll probably be dead..." - my son Nathan to his friend... sheesh! Am I THAT old?!?!

2012-01-15T08:59:00.001-08:00

drainage from what's probably my brain into my ear (I think?) Woke up 90% deaf in my right ear. Last time this happened they pulled what looked like the thing in Checkov's ear in Wrath Of Kahn. It wasn't pretty.

2012-01-15T08:56:00.001-08:00

2012-01-14T15:38:00.001-08:00

Howl At The Moon tonight from 9-2. Last night was great. Make tonight better!

2011-08-23T01:20:00.001-07:00

No really... Why am I not asleep yet?

2011-08-19T13:44:00.001-07:00

Today is a Rick Springfield's Greatest Hits kind of day. And yes there are many many more great songs by him than Jessie's Girl. In fact I'll skip that one.

2011-08-17T13:26:00.001-07:00

"Asses to elbows" really doesn't work does it? Unless you have really long arms that touch peoples asses. And that's weird. I prefer "nuts to butts"

2011-08-16T00:00:00.001-07:00

I wrote 6 pages worth of a new blog that I was really proud of until I forgot to save it and the computer went on the fritz and restarted itself. Dammit.

2011-08-15T23:36:00.001-07:00

Tues night I'll be at 18th & Vine w/G-Force. I'll be returning to the band 90 Minutes Saturday at The Landing in Liberty. Looking to do some fill-in work Sept 2, 9, 23, 30 if anyone needs a musician/singer for the night!

2011-07-29T08:08:00.001-07:00

I'm already ready for Steel Panther in January. I'm not missing NAMM again this year dammit. Tonight's the night. Jerry's Lenexa. Get funky. Do it.

2011-07-25T18:54:00.001-07:00

Windows 7 makes me feel like an old Grandpa. I hate and suck navigating it. Mac users shush. I'm too broke ass for that fancy crap. Grrr

2011-07-23T23:49:00.001-07:00

Ramones are on the radio!!!! Yaaaaaay (that hardly ever happens you know)

2011-07-18T20:01:00.001-07:00

Tuesday - Cinderella @ Crossroads, Thursday - Origin @ Aftershock, Friday - 90 Minutes @ O'Dowds Zona Rosa, Sat - Wedding w/Lost Wax. BUSY!!

2011-07-18T12:56:00.001-07:00

is teaching at Funky Munky Music (piano, bass and guitar). Just picked up Corey Taylor's book today. Stoked to start reading.

2011-07-17T10:27:00.001-07:00

Recording new music all week. Singing for 90 Minutes Fri at O'Dowds Zona Rosa. Wedding with Lost Wax Sat. Happy Birthday Gee Hopper!

2011-07-16T22:14:00.001-07:00

This week I will attempt a straight up death metal song and an R&B (think in the style of Tony Toni Tone). And will end with a remake of one of my old R&B Chaka Kahn-like songs just to be weird.

2011-07-15T20:39:00.001-07:00

Food poisoning will be keeping me in my bed close to the bathroom this evening. I feel like death. So gross

2011-07-13T12:55:00.001-07:00

Good meeting with 90 Minutes today at the place where it all started. Denny's. Now onto teaching the kids how to play Queen, GNR, and Chili Peppers at Music House School!

2011-07-12T13:30:00.001-07:00

bush has a new album coming out. I'm apologizing to the world in advance for that. Not that it's my fault. I like that band about as much as I like lickin the bottom of my shoes after walking around in a gas station restroom that hasn't been cleaned in months.

2011-07-12T13:27:00.001-07:00

Why do we need 6 car washes on Shawnee Mission Parkway? There are already 5 and another being built. That's excessive. I mean "cleanliness is godliness" sure... But that's dumb

2011-07-12T08:09:00.001-07:00

with Kansas City being such a Hard Rock/Metal town... I'm finding that it's a little tough to compete if you're not playing in that genre these days. I had a great time last weekend, but felt greatly out of place. Aren't there any straight up rock bands left that aren't so damn heavy? Maybe I'll just write a metal album and get it outta the way.

2011-07-11T19:00:00.001-07:00

Nathan made me an interesting recipe to try tonight which included "Bacon, Sugar, 'cherry sauce' (whatever that means) and pitted cherries." Cherry flavored bacon. Can't get the taste out of my mouth now. Hmmm

2011-07-11T05:24:00.001-07:00

waaaay too many episodes of Criminal Minds last night. Damn... I'm tired today.

2011-07-09T19:17:00.001-07:00

Very fun (and very sloppy on my part-but my band was great!) show tonight. Thanks to all who came to see it. (And attempted)

2011-07-07T21:08:00.001-07:00

Thoughts and prayers go out to steve willson
(owner of aftershock ) and his family for the tragic loss of their daughter Kylee Wilson.

2011-07-07T09:41:00.001-07:00

I have so much crap that I should be doing. But I don't feel like doing any of it. So I'm gonna follow the baby's lead and take a freakin nap! Twirp kept me up all night!

2011-07-05T18:20:00.001-07:00

Twitter.com/tysonleslie. Twat me. I mean..... Errr "tweeeeet"

2011-07-05T12:31:00.001-07:00

Nice to hear a local band being spun on the radio in the middle of the day instead of at 4 AM like it used to be.

2011-07-04T15:08:00.001-07:00

Today just feels like a Patsy Cline kind of day. I listened to her "36 Greatest Hits" record. Amazing

2011-07-04T08:07:00.001-07:00

Last night was one of the most rewarding fun shows I've had in ages! Thanks to Shea and Phil and the whole "On The Hill" crew. Good to meet all my new friends, and great to see all my old ones!

2011-07-03T23:20:00.001-07:00

Amazing really good fun tonight at Shea's "On The Hill"! Already booked for July 4 for 2012! Thanks everyone for making it a grand success!

2011-07-03T13:30:00.001-07:00

To rain... Or not to rain... THAT is the question.

2011-07-03T00:02:00.001-07:00

It's too fucking quiet...

2011-07-02T09:09:00.001-07:00

I'll be spending my morning watching multiple episodes of Phineas & Ferb with the baby monkey. Awesome

2011-06-30T14:38:00.001-07:00

SHOWS!: Cronin's tonight in Lenexa KS from 9-12. On The Hill in North KC from 8-9:45, July 9th Aftershock w/Nigel Dupree Band from 8-8:30.

2011-06-23T21:22:00.001-07:00

I'm going to upstart my youtube page with a "song of the day". I'll be performing solo on piano or guitar songs that you choose. So what songs would you like to see me play? This will start on Monday. Looking forward to your suggestions!

2011-06-23T16:10:00.001-07:00

Ok..... That July 12th gig is NOT happening now. So uh..... Just kidding?

2011-06-22T10:35:00.001-07:00

is listening to the new "Weird Al" Yankovic album. Still brilliant and awesome. "Alpocolypse". Check it out.

2011-06-20T11:01:00.001-07:00

NEW SONG UP ON MY SOUNDCLOUD PAGE and entire demo version of my forthcoming record is available to download this week! Please check it out!

2011-06-18T12:16:00.001-07:00

Oy vey... My brain hurts.

2011-06-11T22:24:00.001-07:00

How the he'll did a toad end up on my dashboard???

2011-06-10T16:37:00.001-07:00

Did Charlie Sheen stop winning? Seems like he's been awfully quiet lately.

2011-06-09T21:29:00.001-07:00

I'm getting far too much enjoyment out of this Dinobots episode of Transformers. Makes me feel like a kid again. Fun stuff

2011-06-05T07:48:00.001-07:00

Don't forget that at one time "Vulgar Display Of Power" was the heaviest record ever made for the time. Listening now. It still creates bruises on my eardrums

2011-06-04T23:10:00.001-07:00

Just played drums on Ace Of Spades by Motorhead with The Disappointments. That song's a WORKOUT!

2011-06-03T20:06:00.001-07:00

for the record... I fucking HATE Windows 7... as you were.

2011-06-02T22:34:00.001-07:00

Lauren Hill is KILLIN IT on Fallon. Doug Wimbish is on bass. Two bassists. Awesome performance of Marley's "Could You Be Loved"

2011-05-31T10:22:00.001-07:00

Love Handel!!!

2011-05-30T22:33:00.001-07:00

Criminal Minds.....I've missed you. C. Thomas Howell-youre SO EVIL! Don't you remember when you were a nice Ponyboy?

2011-05-10T19:59:00.001-07:00

I just got the text that I've been waiting for. Producer on the record has agreed (right?) - So I'm pretty stoked seeing as he's one of my favorite pop songwriters. I'm pretty excited yo.

2011-05-08T08:12:00.001-07:00

call yo momma... even if you don't want to. It's just a nice thing to do today. Me... well, I want to. (dialing)

2011-05-07T13:20:00.001-07:00

Is there anyone left in Kansas City that can sing the "hair band" stuff WELL for an entire night? ie: Michael Starr - Steel Panther?

2011-05-03T09:35:00.001-07:00

With all this resurgence of terrorism talk, I have a sudden longing for new episodes of 24... translation - I miss Jack Bauer.

2011-04-23T13:51:00.001-07:00

my phone doesn't work where I am, so if you're trying to get a hold of me, email me at tysonleslie@yahoo.com. I'll return Tomorrow night!

2011-04-21T20:58:00.001-07:00

Thank you all so much for coming to the show tonight. It was amazing to see all of you. What a blast finally getting to play those songs live with a band! Thanks to Go-Go and Craig too so much!

2011-04-14T10:36:00.001-07:00

Been getting a lot of requests for keyboard players and Bass Players. If you're one of those looking for work, message me back and let me know how much you want to work. Covers and original bands.

2011-04-12T18:49:00.001-07:00

"Steve" Kishinevsky is the greatest guitar player that you've probably never heard. And that's very unfortunate because unless you have music by Alienation, you never will. So damn good.

2011-04-11T12:55:00.001-07:00

Fazoli's... Go-Go always comes thru for food even when the rest of the day is cancelled. Yaaaay!

2011-04-08T17:40:00.001-07:00

In case you didn't know... Sgt. D is coming, and you're on his list.

2011-04-08T09:57:00.001-07:00

Moving forward... Always a healthy and liberating thing to do.

2011-04-08T08:55:00.001-07:00

Today I'll listen to Slipknot for the first time in many months in memory of Paul. For those who know me well, it's been tough to listen to them. But today it feels good.

2011-04-08T07:07:00.001-07:00

Halestorm's version of Skid Row's "Slave To The Grind" is incredible. It's HIGHER vocally than the original. I'm impressed!
