Todds new guitar. Fan gift..

Looking for the back story on this Telecaster that Todd played near the end of the Ringo show at the Winstar Casino (Oklahoma) on July 5th. What I do know is... It's a Micheal Kelly "1954" Telecaster copy with colored Swarovski crystals applied by BlingIsTheNewBlack dot com. It was given to Todd by a fan backstage before the show. Somefan/Anyfan? Please tell us more!  (first two pics borrowed from BlingIsTheNewBlack dot com's WhoSay page) Peace and Love!

RUNDGRENRADIO.COM ANNOUNCES 2014 BIRTHDAY BASH

Be sure to visit www.SpiritOfHarmony.org RUNDGREN RADIO TO HOST BDAY BASH 2014 IN BOSTON! BOAT CRUISE WITH KASIM AND MORE! RUNDGRENRADIO.COM ANNOUNCES 2014 BIRTHDAY BASH Unfortunately, due to Todd's busy schedule we were unable to secure a Todd concert this year for Labor Day weekend (8/30 & 8/31).  Several fans asked us to throw a party anyway and that's exactly what we are going to do!   This year the party will be held in Boston, MA and although Todd will not be involved we have lined up some great entertainment and activities to help us celebrate the music of Todd Rundgren and Utopia!  We will have a Kasim Sulton solo performance (debuting his new CD, 3) on a Boston Harbor cruise boat that's rented out just for our group!  We will also have performances by two different Todd/Utopia tribute bands, Gary Backstrom's Road To Utopia and The Hermits Of Mink Halloween!  There's also an excursion to visit the RA pyramid and meet its owner. We already have over 20 fans signed up for this event and as we add people the events will get better and better.  For example, we'd like to add some appetizers/meals to some of the activities.  You could consider this like a Kickstarter (crowd funding) type project except no matter how many people participate this event is happening.  As of now we have the core activities lined up and already have a great group rate hotel deal!  Check out all the current info here ... http://www.rundgrenradio.com/bdaybash2014.html TODD RUNDGREN HOSTING MYTHIC PACIFIC RETREAT IN CAMBRIA CA The event is almost sold out but there are still some spots available if you are still interested in getting in on the action!   The event is being held August 18-22, 2014.  For all the details, please visit: http://mythicpacificretreat.com/ In case you are not on Facebook, here's a recent post the Toddstore shared on the Mythic Pacific Retreat Facebook page ... Message from Todd : "We've gotten a lot of inquiries about the details of daily life at camp this year. As a reminder, we are expecting many of the campers to come prepared to entertain, enlighten and express the talents and interests that may go unappreciated in the world outside of our Mythic Retreat. But that aside, we do have daylight to fill up. So let's imagine a typical day. Firstly, day one will not be typical. With campers arriving at various times and trying to get settled in, it's not practical to schedule important activities that everyone might like to attend. Ergo, that evenings entertainment will be presented by us, your humble hosts. "What might that be?" you may reasonably ask. At this point… unpredictable. Post breakfast on day two, and most days after, we'll announce a schedule of off-campus activities that you may sign up for. Such may include horseback riding, wine tasting, beach visits, San Simeon tours etc. There will also be a daily hike starting from Cambria to who-knows-where. Crafts will become a more significant part of camp life, and we'll have many counselors on hand and materials for you to create something that will last past Cambria. We'll have several 'mentors' (musicians I have worked with) that will be happy to tutor or simply answer questions. Since most are donating their time, we're not going to announce them in advance in case they have to take a real paying gig instead. We are also going to have a few formal presentations that involve future camper participation. Principally, we're going to update you on the Spirit of Harmony Foundation, which has just been officially granted non-profit status by the IRS- in record time, no less. We'll also be presenting a couple ideas that campers may want to support after camp is over. Beyond this, there is not much more detail we can offer. Fear not, we're going to a happy place!"

The brainwave design is adapted from the printout of Todd's actual brainwaves, recorded on April 1, 2014 at the Auditory Science Lab at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL (http://www.soc.northwestern.edu/brainvolts/), when Todd visited the lab to learn about the short-term and lifelong effects of music education on the human brain. It was only a rudimentary test, but it was noteworthy in that every one of the sensors, in every area, detected very strong activity. Your support of these items is a fundraiser for the Foundation.  To purchase some of the Todd's brain products, please visit this site: http://www.zazzle.com/spiritofharmony SAD NEWS - SINGER BOBBY WOMACK DIES As most of you know, Bobby performed on the song "Want Of A Nail" with Todd on The Nearly Human album.   RIP Bobby Womack. ESOTERIC RECORDS RELEASES UTOPIA: LIVE AT THE ELECTRIC BALLROOM (Milwaukee 1978) Some of the songs performed on the discs come from Rundgren's solo album, The Hermit of Mink Hollow and Utopia's Oops! Wrong Planet, and include "Hello, It's Me," "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" and "Black Mariah." The two-disc set includes an illustrated booklet and new essay notes. http://www.rttnews.com/2341060/todd-rundgren-and-utopia-release-live-at-the-electric-ballroom.aspx?type=ent TODD ATTENDS LIV'S "THE LEFTOVER'S" SEASON PREMIERE Liv Tyler and step-father Todd Rundgren attend HBO's "The Leftovers" season premiere after party at TAO on Monday, June 23, 2014 in New York.

Hey folks, not sure if you are aware of this or not but we are hosting an RR BDAY BASH on Labor Day weekend in the Boston area. Todd will NOT be attending and there will not be a Todd gig surrounding it like usual. What can I say? The man is busy busy busy! So, this is more of a fan gathering kind of thing but we had enough requests for it that we went ahead and started putting it together.

We will have entertainment that includes but is not limited to: Kasim Sulton,Gary Backstrom's Road To Utopia band, and the Hermits Of Mink Halloween! We are also visiting the RA pyramid!

We have over 20 solid commitments which is enough to pull this off and we appreciate those folks being willing to attend something of this nature despite the no Todd factor. We could use another 20 or so to do some o the things we really wanted to do like a 3-4 hour private yacht/cruise boat dinner deal with Kasim performing. We can't pull that off without enough people. It's not cheap but in our opinion it's worth it to do something so unique and fun that could arguably be a once in a lifetime deal. So,tickets are currently on sale for the weekend event at $300 each and that would include everything including the dinner cruise. If we don't get enough peeps we will have to ditch the cruise and will of course drop the price. If you sign up for both days the price breaks out to $150 a day for the 2 day event. That's really not bad when you think about what all you would be getting. This would include some meals, entertainment, cake, laminate, tshirt, and more.

We get that many of you are going to Cambria and can't make this one and that's cool but we also know many of you couldn't afford Cambria or couldn't get the time off to go.

So, bottom line is we are looking for a few more takers on this wonderful plan we have put together. We even have a payment plan system for you if desired - we really just need a firm commitment # of people so we can book this boat or ditch the idea. We thought we had that number but some folks seemed to disappear when it was time to actually make a move to show their commitment. Such is life in the world of Facebook lol.
