Cat Music BlogLove cats? Cat stories, poetry, news, and songs for and about cats. Blog and Podcast for Cat Lovers. Tuesday, November 04, 2008Cat Drinking Tails - Whiskers in the Jar Up for a Grammy?It was a tough couple of weeks for me and Tiziano. Marc moved us all to Louisiana. "My Cats Give 5 Stars Too! I have Irish Drinking Songs For Cat Lovers and love it but I have to say this CD is even more fun. The lyrics are so original. I can't help but smile every time I listen to it. My favorites are What Shall We Do With A Catnipped Kitty and Danny Boy. So buy the CD and raise a glass in a toast to cat lovers and great irish music." -MaryLou Griffith See Marc Gunn's Music Mailing List VOTE FOR MARC'S PODCAST TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who is a Celtic American musician and podcaster that writes cat songs. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.

Hey! It's Tiziano. I love windows. It's better than TV. There's so many wonderful things outside to see. While I love atching bugs, birds and anything else that I think Daddy might be proud to see I caught, sometimes I just want to watch the world change. I think it is sort of like when humans stop to smell the roses. I like to stand in front of the sliding glass door or on a windowsill and watch the world go by, take a nap, wake up, and watch some more. All the while I can bask in the warm sun, complete with the happy knowledge that it will be there when I awake from my next nap. "What outrageous FUN! The music and lyrics definitely tickle the funny bones of anyone who is a fan of celtic music and felines. Marc, your music is a must have for all! Please keep entertaining us with your wonderful talents!" Meanwhile, Daddy has a few CD Release parties for the album. He should be done with two in Louisiana by now. This week, there's a big one at the Cactus Cafe in Austin with his friend Cedric of the Bedlam Bards, and then he's going to Fort Worth for another CD Release. After that, I think we can finally have Daddy back home for a while. I miss him. He's only been gone for a few days. I can't wait for him to come back home. Torre gets a little overbreaing whenever Daddy leaves. Mew! I hear that Daddy is almost out of the Celtic Cat Wooden Mugs. So this might be your last chance to get one. Daddy hasn't decided if he's going to reprint the mugs yet. Mew, Mew! The new CD cover is now on T-shirts at Cafepress. See Marc Gunn's CD Release Parties Adopt a To Love Is Human.

Labels: cat_drinking_tails Tuesday, May 13, 2008Human Frustration Please add "marc@thebards.net" to your whitelist or email address book, so that you have no trouble receiving future issues! I just DON'T understand humans sometimes. I tell Marc over and over again what I want, and he doesn't listen! And then, when I do something that he doesn't like and that I told him I was gonna do if he didn't change, he gets angry. What's up with that?! Tonight was one of those occasions. I told Marc time and time again that I don't like the new pine pellet cat litter. It just doesn't appeal to me. I can't clean up after myself, and it's too slow to asorb. So I peed on his old leather chair. I told him I would if he didn't get me better litter. I did. And he was upset about it. So!?! It's not like I didn't tell you. I DID! There has to be an easier way to communicate. This meowing stuff only goes so far. I can barely get Marc to let me out on the porch, let alone get me a decent litter. Any cat out there have a good suggestion so I don't have to smack my human with clue-by-four? "So many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite! Good humor and excellent music. "A Cat Named Rover" rates high. As a dyed in the fur cat lover and Celtic music fan, this album was irresistible! I am currently owned by 7.5 cats. (The half cat belongs to my neighbor, but she(the cat) visits a lot.) Cat #7 has her own apartment in my garage. She is not socialized, so the only way I can see her is with a network observation camera. Cats 1-6 live in my house. Thanks, Marc, for the perfect album for a Cat and Celtic fanatic." FRUSTRATION AND WHISKERS Oh and he did not spray it on the new Celtic Cat T-Shirts. That's good. Boy, do those shirts look sharp! I should make Marc wear a shirt every day as penance for not listening to me! Don't forget to download and share "Molly Malone... The Cat's Perspective/Planxty Hewlett" if you haven't yet.

Mew, mew! This is Tiziano. Torre is on Daddy's lap because Daddy got back from Oklahoma yesterday and looks all worn out. So Torre is taking advantage of the lap time. This means the computer is all mine. Prrr! Course, Torre doesn't know how to use the computer anyway. That's why I write all the newsletters for him. I have the secret opposable thumb. Shh, don't tell anyone! The other nice thing about having Daddy back is play time. Last month, he bought me this laser toy. We all love it. I love chasing this light as it zips around the room. Meoowm, off I go. Boy, is it tough to catch though! Even when it sits still, and I pounce on it, it's gone like that! At first I was worried about my ability to catch things, then I saw Torre was having just as many problems. "So many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite! Good humor and excellent music.

STUFF ON MY CAT I must say, Kethry is a pretty patient cat. I don't think Torre or I would ever allow Daddy to put stuff on us, even If we were napping. Sure, we would be happy to lie on top of stuff for him. I wonder. Is there are Stuff My Cat Is Lying On website? Show #16 of the Cat Lovers Podcast went out last month.

I hope you had a a happy Meowlantines! Marc had a CD release party at Things Celtic for his new album, A Tribute to Love, on Valentine's Day. While he was singing love songs, I arranged my part for the new "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" CD. We started recording the album last week. Marc came home from the recording studio with some amazing recordings done with Celtic producer Rich Brotherton. Half the album is now recorded. I must admit I'm a little frustrated though. It is MY band, and Marc won't let me go into the studio. I nipped him for that when he came home last night. But I don't think he understood why I nipped him. Humans are so dense sometimes! Well at least he's recording us at home. There's a big solo he wants me to be a part of on "When the Dairy Farm Caught Fire". I will yowl like nobody's business! You will hear me above all the other meowers on this song. Because it is MY album afterall. I think I deserve to be loudest on it! "So many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite!

This is Tiziano. Myouch. I had surgery yesterday. Daddy took us to see the vet to have our teeth cleaned. Dr. Sammon said one of my teeth was so bad that it had to come out. I felt so woosie after the surgery. I think the doctor gave me something. I am still in a daze now that I am at home because Daddy keeps forcing some nasty medicine in my mouth. When Daddy saw me writing this newsletter, he told me to tell you to make sure you take your kitties to the Vet every six months to avoid this same problem. Now I wish I had gone! I think I need another nap. Then maybe I'll re-read Harry Potter like we all did as a family after the book was released. "The CD is very funny. I love all the traditional versions of the songs on it, but this time they are performed in a way you usually not hear them. My cats loved it and ... my dogs to. I never forget the faces of my cats, looking at the stereo and at each other, trying to find out who was in the stereo." A TRIBUTE TO ME! Mew! Some more exciting news! Daddy plays music at a lot of Renaissance festivals. So he found a guy to make wooden mugs with our Celtic Cat logo. He ordered one for himself and loved it so much that they are printing more of them. I already tried it out with some fresh milk. It was delicious and fun to drink from. Prrr!

Dear Cat Lover, I was the first to hear the postman at the door. He knocked, but Marc was in Tennessee so he never heard a peep. But Friday evening when our Aunt came to feed us, there was the box. She brought it into our home. I sniffed it and I knew. Our new CD was here! Marc came back yesterday and opened up the box. The CDs look amazing. We all spent the afternoon packaging the CDs to mail them to our fans. I even signed a few copies myself. Ah! I love it when new CDs come out. I can't wait until we release our next all cat one! "I picked up your CD @ Things Celtic last weekend & I absolutely LOVE it!! I found myself humming "A Cat Named Rover" at work--what a fun song! One of my favorites is "Catnipping Green".

Dear Cat Lover, Tiziano really needs to learn how to use a laptop. All last month, Marc's home computer was down, and he greedily horded the laptop from me. He was so busy with St. Patrick's Day stuff that he didn't give me a chance to highlight the more important holiday--St. Gertrude's Day. I guess since he and that other band, the Brobdingnagian Bards, won the award for best None of the Above Band in the Austin Music Awards, I'll give him a little credit. But next year the awards go to the CATS! "I picked up your CD @ Things Celtic last weekend & I absolutely LOVE it!! I found myself humming "A Cat Named Rover" at work--what a fun song!

Dear Cat Lover, MEOWY CATMAS! Marc, Tiziano and I are all enjoying some nice leisurely holiday downtime at Marc's mom's home. It's a bit small for running around. So Tiziano and I are holed up in one small room most of the day. But the others who live here are very interesting. Mama is a pretty hot little kitty who is not very friendly. But Aunt Leah, a 17-year old Pekingnese, she's a sweetheart. She doesn't bother me at all! It's actually kinda weird. I've never met a "dog" before. So this was quite a scary adventure at first. Fortunately, these dogs seem pretty harmless. All in all, Catmas is here. And I can't wait to open up this present Marc put up on a shelf. The present came by me and I smelled catnip! Mreow!

I followed him around the house reminding him again and again, time to sleep. Sleep he did. He's slept almost as much as a Cat these past few days. And I've slept by his side to make sure he was healthy. This morning, he woke up and gave me the most purr-fect petting and massages I've had in a while. Yes, he is getting better. It's all in a day's work... and naps. "I made my husband cry with your cd! He saved his fourth cat this December from a busy freeway and now we have as many people as we do cats in our home!

March 17th is also St. Gertrude's Day, the patron saint of cats. I don't think so. We cats know that there's a way to the world. I am the master of my house. Tiziano is only second-in-command. Cats were once worshipped as gods. We haven't forgot. And we deserve it. We know this to be true. I mean, we are cats afterall!

I'm a cat fan. Lost my 8-1/2 year old cat last month of cancer. These songs cheered me up big time." TO PURR DIVINE - NEW T-SHIRT Well, it's done. Now he added that slogan and picture to a SECOND t-shirt with this new painting on it. I must say, it looks pretty nice... except for the fact that Tiziano is on it too. Adopt a To Talk Is Human. To Purr Divine T-Shirt! DRINK A PINT OF MILK FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY If you have a St Gertrude's Day, St Patrick's Day or birthday wish for Marc, call 512-879-NEWT (6398), and he'll play it in the next Cat Lovers Podcast. Last, remember that you don't need to drink beer to have a happy St Patrick's Day. A pint of milk for us cats is a great way to celebrate this Cat/Irish holiday. Be safe! To talk is human. To purr is divine. Mreow! TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.

Dear Cat Lover, Happy Meowlantines Day! Tiziano and I woke Marc up early today. He was planning to record an episode of the Renaissance Festival Podcast this morning. So I thought there was no harm done. So we had a good scuffle to warm up, because the apartment was way too cold today. Yes. Cats love to get Meowlantine's presents. Any chance you get to shower adoration on cats is fine with us. As for me, I like a little bowl of milk and some Friskies salmon and tuna treats. If you want to get me a card, make sure it crinkles so it sounds great and is easy to throw around. "Great work. I found this cat irish site. End-up buying the album in the end.

IRISH DRINKING SONGS FOR CAT LOVERS PINT GLASS Tiziano and I took turns testing the milk in the pint glass. It had a special aroma. They say that the type of glass you use is important with wine and beer tasting. Well the same stands true with milk tastings. The milk was strong with hint of marigolds and mint. Unpretentious and friendly. Yes, it was a good pint o'milk. But the glass made all the difference. We ordered just over 70 pint glasses. Due to difficulty in shipping them, I don't think we'll reorder them. There are just a few more left. If you are interested in owning one, go to the Adoption page and place your order while they last. HAVE YOU TOLD A FRIEND, YET?

Dear Cat Lover, Help! Torre's holding me hostage. Well three days without Daddy, and I got sick of Torre bossing me around. So I told him off, "mew, mew, mew!" He didn't like that. He pounced on top of me hissing and screeling. I took off running and am now living under Daddy's bed. I crept out for a moment and Torre was asleep. So I thought I'd send out a distress email with the hope that Daddy will see it and come racing home to save me. Daddy? "This is the Cat's Meow! This CD is a real hoot and a joy to Irish mug-tipping catlovers everywhere! I enjoyed it so much I ordered a copy for a friend. Marc Gunn has a rare mix of great talent, musicianship, and pure fun! Buy this CD and get one for your friends, too!" CAT INTERVIEWS GALORE Everyone seems to love the CD. It has people purring all over the world. That makes me happy. prrrr Oh! Aunt Nancy also told me that the Celtic Cat Pint Glasses finally arrived! I can't wait to see them when she gets them from the office. So those of you who are expecting them. They'll be there soon.

Dear Cat Lover, Torre here. Well, I hope you all had a Meowy Catmas. Now I'm already for a brigth Mew Year. Today, Marc was burning a new master copy of our CD. I never realized how danceable "Lord of the Pounce" is. That sure was fun. Well I had the Q-Tip in my mouth and did a nice improvisational dance with the Q-Tip as pounced to "Lord of the Pounce." I'm sure you can see it now. Michael Catley up on a stage. The sound of a someone using a litterbox while an audience member says, "I smell a tiger. Whew!" " I happened to find Marc's page quite by accident, and then found his music to be irresistable! He has truly tapped into the heart and mind and soul of a cat! My cat says that listening to this CD is like enjoying her favorite catnip mousie...! Ditto. What higher praise can there be? " THE RESULTS ARE IN... MORE CAT CDS Well, in our meeting we looked at all and decided that we will start planning to record another CD. We're gonna aim for 2007, but it all depends on whether we can get enough parodies written. If you are interested in submitting some lyrics, post them here. Last I heard, Marc was working on "Whiskers in the Jar". Oh! Marc just told me if you have a cat business or want more than one or two CDs, you can bulk order them on the adoption page. Adopt the CD now then tell your friends to do the same.
