Frankly, I'm a huge fan of Deadmau5 music. Both what he does as an artist and what he's done in collaborations with Kaskade and Morgan Page have been awesome. So I'm happy that not only is he announcing a new album (slated for a Sept. 22nd release) but he's going to be doing a North American tour to compliment the release of the album. The disc is called "For Lack of a Better Name" -- Man, I love what he titles his albums (His first one was called "Random Album Title").

The only thing I don't like about his tour schedule is that his apperance in Los Angeles is for the Halloween event in LA. Um, if anyone's ever tried to go to any event on Halloween night, they know that getting to a venue takes at least an extra couple of years to get there. Compound that with the fact that Halloween is on a Saturday night and you have the makings of "Well, honey, let's just drive to the Forum now and just camp in the parking lot for the next few months." Other than that... awesome! :-)

By the way, the video that's being presented above is the full length 10 minute video for "I Remember" one of the collaborative songs that Deadmau5 did with Kaskade. The other video "Move For Me" is also available at Inside the Circle, as well as "The Longest Road" the collabo that Deadmau5 did with Morgan Page.

Listed below is the full "For Lack of a Better Name" North American tour schedule. Is he coming to your area? If you're a fan of good dance music, he's worth checking out. Oh and the guy wears a mousehead during a performance -- gotta give him props for that!
