So anyway:

1. CERUMENTRIC was nominated for Best Dance Act-Solo in the AVIMA Awards 2009 (http://voize.my). I did not win, but it was the biggest exposure I’ve ever had so far and I have nothing but big thanks to the VOIZE people of Malaysia, Siva Chandran, Rachel Chan, etc. Thanks a lot to those who voted and supported CERUMENTRIC. Three albums are coming your way (of course, you have to pay a bit for it, or I’ll go hungry.), and I really worked hard on them.

2. Work is almost done on the third album. I’m planning on releasing all three albums this year. More choices for you!

3. CERUMENTRIC is now on Facebook! If you don’t find anything new here, just go to:

4. The CERUMENTRIC Pre-Release Teaser can now be downloaded at

It contains free mp3 samples, new press photos, and a newly-written bio. Enjoy!

5. I’m appealing to people who can help me raise money for a good laptop that I can use for live performances. I am a freelance web designer/graphic artist/writer-editor/English tutor/sound designer/music composer/sound editor. Just email me at eafsr-at-yahoo-dot-com. My prices are cheaper than standard rates.

That’s all for now.

The good news so far:

• The 3rd installment of that fast-shootin’, over-talkin’ comix hero Johnny Longhand is now done and is off to the printers! Expect more guns, hilarity, blood, gore, explosions, and bad jokes as our hero faces a most challenging villain! There will be a song and dance number!
• Erick’s nonfiction zine, SR(senior) , is now on its 3rd issue. Cover still being conceptualized. More true-to-life stories.
• New UnderStanding Sound Recordings act, Cerumentric, is now on studio/PC finishing first single. Plans for MySpace Music account, where songs can be downloaded for free.

 Other news: Due to the Taiwan earthquake damage, expect some delay over updates and responses. Please bear with us. I know you’re all looking for something exciting to happen here.
