2007 LA Music Awards Nominee: Best Male Vocal, "Emily"
Over there on the left you'll notice little link doohickies that allow you to download whatever you feel like off of iTunes. Also, you can buy a CD, while they're still not-quite-yet-but-almost obsolete. Soon I'll be able to upload a completed track directly to the chip in my modified brain and I'll be able to transfer it over the cranial-net directly to the chip in your modified brain. That's gonna be sweet.
BIO:
Tony Buschauer's music blends rock, jazz, folk and country with introspective, soul-searching lyrics that seek the light at the end of the tunnel. In short, his music finds the heart of the matter.
Through his live performances, he has built a solid and consistent Southern California following, performing extensively on the west coast in clubs including the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, The Viper Room , The Whisky a-Go-Go, Hard Rock Cafe, the El Rey Theater, Hotel Cafe and many more.
This year, he was nominated for Best Male Vocal ("Emily") at the LA Music Awards and was runner-up in wearelistening.org's 2007 Singer/Songwriter Awards. In 2006, he was a finalist in NBC's Star Tomorrow contest. Tony has recorded numerous songs with producer/engineer Brian Reeves (U2, Billy Idol, Rooney), many of which have been in rotation at over 200 college radio stations throughout the U.S.; Billboard Magazine has recognized him for his songwriting and he recently completed a tour throughout the Midwest.
Upon moving to LA in 2003, Tony emerged on the local music scene with his rock band ERWIN , as the bands singer/guitarist and primary songwriter. As his songwriting evolved, he found that his material was becoming darker, moodier and more personal. In 2005, he decided to go it alone and pursue his music career as a solo artist.
Upcoming plans for Tony b include continued touring in the U.S., promoting his solo debut “Let’s Go”, and writing and recording new material for future releases.
Tony currently lives in LA with his 9 cats and award winning squash patch. (ok, maybe not)

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
