Peg Kerr's Journal

So it was 5 years ago today that Bradley and I recorded My Dad Is Rich for our soon-to-be myspace page. It’s funny to think about us being a source for nostalgia, but I guess we’re at that point. You kids have grown up so fast!

I’d like to celebrate this milestone somehow, and I’ve been inspired by National Novel Writing Month to make some kind of ridiculous creative commitment. So here it is- Brian Malfoy’s Song-a-Day! I’m going to write a song every day for the month of November and post it right here.

Off the bat, let me qualify this a little bit. I’ll be traveling to Wrockstock early in the month, and this will throw a monkey wrench into my uploading songs here. But I’ll still be writing them, and I’ll get them posted asap. My hope is that I’ll be able to record a decent version of each one, but if time does not permit this, I’ll record it with an acoustic guitar and either video tape it for our youtube channel, or just make an audio demo.

Please subscribe to this blog so you can follow the fun!

Upon learning about families and children affected by natural disasters across the world, Megan, from The Wizard Rockumentary, and Mark, from Marked As His Equal, decided they wanted to help. Megan and Mark created From Beneath These Ashes, a 2-disc Wizard Rock compilation featuring over 30 Wizard Rock bands, and spanning both "light" and "dark" themes.

All of the proceeds from the compilation will go to Save the Children, "the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world.” Save the Children continues to help children and families who have been affected by disasters in our country, like hurricane relief in the Gulf Coast, and all over the world, such as the cyclones in Myanmar.

From Beneath These Ashes features previously unreleased songs from The Remus Lupins, Catchlove, House of Black, Draco and the Malfoys, and many other awesome Wizard Rock bands. There will be a limited run of hard copy CDs, so don’t forget to preorder! After the hard copies have run out, the compilation will remain online for purchase to continue raising funds.

Whether you see yourself singing along to the "light" side, rocking out to the "dark" side, or you just want to get an amazing CD in exchange for helping families in need, From Beneath These Ashes is sure to please.

See the track list here. Preorders are open now. You can reserve your copy here.

"This work is based on our exploits in The Deathly Hallows, the final book of the story of our lives. It consists of 8 movements, plus an epilogue that in our opinion seems a little tacked on and not as well written as the rest of the album. Sorry about that. Also the violin in movement 7 is gay and in love with the tambourine in movement 4."
