We Love Celebrity Death

It is so lame how much we care about celebrity babies. How they're dressed and their names. Why do we need to stay "up-to-date" on these things? You see them on the front cover of People Magazine and go gaga-gewgew over it. Do you want to know what makes us go even crazier?? When the celebrity babies are too much of a responsibility for the celebrity parents i.e. Brittany Spears. Then everyone really eats it up. In general, we love to see celebrities hardships and failures. Why? I think its because it makes us feel better about ourselves and our lives. BUT...when a celebrity dies, the whole celebrity-loving world cries, as if they loved them all along. The best example of this is Michael Jackson. How many people ridiculed him on his looks and loved to read about the newest scandals surrounding him? Then when he died, all of sudden everyone who initially made fun of him acted like they loved and supported him all along. This is nonsense.

My new song, "Until We Fall", is about just that: We cry, when someone completely falls, but ridicule him on his way down. I think you'll enjoy the song. Listen below and download it for free.

NEW EP Racing to the Finish Line

TIME: 11:07 PM PT
LOCATION: TOP SECRET

We are doing the final mixing touches to my new EP, "Humanist", as I type this! The final bounces are taking place and will be sent off to be mastered in the next hour. Extremely looking forward to finishing and sharing these 5 new songs with everyone! I've spent the last three months recording the songs. I'm deciding on a LA venue for the cd release show. Any suggestions??

Jupiter the Savior! Giant "scar" on Jupiter spotted.

My song, "Goodbye Jupiter", is a metaphor to escaping and letting go of dramatic gravity in life. BUT Jupiter may have just saved us!!!

A large comet or asteroid has slammed into the Jupiter, creating an impact site the size of Earth, pictures by an Australian amateur astronomer show.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed the discovery using its large infrared telescope at the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, said computer programer Anthony Wesley, 44, who discovered the impact zone while stargazing at home.

Scientists claim that Jupiter is essential to the survival and evolution of an Earth-like planet. It protects Earth from meteors, comets, and asteroids the size of Earth itself!

Back from Germany Invasion

As I collapsed onto my bed, feverishly weak and exhausted from a grueling 12 hour sleepless plane ride from Germany, I wore the type of smile only capable by reward. I had just completed my first ever tour as a musician. This tour was in Germany, part of the unheralded group of bands on the Tryxo Indie Invasion Tour.

I experienced all of the feelings one would imagine of being on tour. From the thousands of screaming fans to the close camaraderie formed by the roster of musicians. From soundchecks and bus rides, to the beer guzzling celebrations afterwards.

The people of Germany welcomed us. They were so receptive to our music and became the sole purpose on which we played our asses off. They wore my handprint stickers as intended: on their chests, sleeves, and asses.

Growing up, aspiring to go on tour, these are the things you envision. My friends, this experience was amazing, rewarding, fulfilling, and encouraging. Encouraging because now I can grow even more as a musician. A more extensive encore tour to Germany is in the works for late October. There is much I have to do between now and then. Everything I do feels purposeful.

Help support the next Tryxo Germany tour by going to www.tryxo.com/derekjordan where you can buy many of my songs for $0.59 each. Tryxo is the ultimate supporter of independent music. All musicians who have music should join.
