Album Notes

Hello. Thanks for reading this. My name is Dean Haakenson, and I am sitting in a cubicle as I write what you are reading. I work in Sacramento for the California State Government. it pays well, and I try to do my job the right way. but, man, it can be tedious (I embody the robot, the trained human, the rat race inhabitant, that the phrase "be brave bold robot" is supposed to appeal to...in my mind), and I find that I have gotten myself into an habitual "rutt" or two in my quest for this almighty dollar (which, as I have finally paid off my youthful debts, I am going to try to save). I write songs and play them. I love singing, very much. this is my first effort, this CDBaby profile to try to make some money off of this whole music thing. be a business minded musician. enter the barter system into my cosmic oneness seeking hobby of music and the like. I apologize. in a perfect world, we would all be singing to each other so much that talent wouldn't be set apart from the daily humdrum. all would shine. all do shine. I'm just trying to sell it. so, below, a bio that I made when I was nominated for the 2006 Sacramento Area Music awards (The SAMMIES), in the Folk Category. This album, "Many Mini Maya" that you might buy, it's a CD-R, to let you know, but I lovingly drew on it with sharpies, to make it look nice, and the songs are lovingly handcrafted, to be sure.
stay tuned, because this disk "Many Mini Maya" is merely a preCursor to an upcoming self-titled release of Be Brave Bold Robot that will knock your socks off.
so, thanks, and have fun, and smile smile smile...cuz you are in complete control, and it's only as amazing as you make it. Be Brave Bold Robot. - Dean, late 2006.

Dean Haakenson (born in our sweet river city of Sacramento, 28 years of Suburban malaise come Downtown Bicycling) plays music with friends and family (his brother Aaron on drums sometimes) and sometimes alone. SingerSongwriter songs about love and grandmothers and justice and life-affirming attitudes. lots of sweat and passion. several different key meditations, and just enough tempo changes to keep things at least mildly interesting. Be Brave Bold Robot is a joyous celebration of sinful innocense. of deliberate absentmindedness. of Social Obligation that tries not to think too much of itself. one more existential distraction that coyly begs the question, "are you really being honest?"

the best there is

Many Mini Maya is Brutally honest in all the positive ways. Lyrically poetic in all of it's musical stories. finding just the right way to say just the right things that make you think of the beauty of everything that surrounds you Inspirations from the everyday Attention to details that most find mundane evolving into a tale of life be it yours or mine or plants or inanimate objects of the simplest kind rhythmically strumming vocally humming dribbling drabbling you find yourself smiling uncontrollably you can't help it. you don't want to help it. There is nothing better than the happiness it brings to leave you grinning from ear to ear making the world jealous in your content thanks to the stories your ears have been blessed to hear coming straight from the heart straight from the soul... of the most magical musician

If you like life, or if you think that life is funny and worth thinking about sometimes, or you have a friend that thinks sometimes, or sometimes you catch yourself creating inner dialog for your pet, be it a dog or a goldfish or an illegally imported ferret, you will probably like this cd a lot. It’s Beautiful. Give it to everyone you know and watch them grow like tomato plants.
