Reclusive Creativity

I'm sitting here in the loft of a log cabin, high atop the Smoky Mountains. It is the night before we travel home from a 3-night "get away" mountains. This is the second time we've been to this very structure in the woods, and each time it has resulted in a great …

Reflecting on the Future

Happy New Year to all.

2008 has been an odd year indeed. An entire year passed by and there is little tangible to show for it. We performed just 2 shows and put our weekly podcast, "Tea with Hungry Lucy" on hold. Reflecting, as one does, on the past year, though, so …

War-N's Creative Commons story

War-N Harrison, from the band Hungry Lucy, speaks about his views and support of Creative Commons licensing.

Hungry Lucy Emits a Greenish Glo

It is always kind of a milestone event when we run out of a pressing of one of our CDs. It allows to pause for a moment and marvel at the fact that all of you fabulous fans have enabled us to sell multiple thousands of copies of a CD (that still blows my mind). …

10 years of Hungry Lucy

It's hard for me to believe that Hungry Lucy turns 10 years old this month (Nov. 2008). Although our cover of Depeche Mode's "Blue Dress" kicked everything off earlier in 1998, November of that year marked the first time we put pen to paper and fingers to keyboard to …

Inspiration, Perspiration & Dedication!

Reposted from christabelle.com

As most of you know, for those of you who visit my personal site, I am in the band Hungry Lucy. Yes, we're still around! The band, as it were, consists of myself and my husband, War-N. When we do work together, we work very well together. …

Creative Apnea

Over the past few months I have been wrestling a bit with my creative flow (with regards to music). This is nothing unusual for me. My musical output (and desire) always seems to ebb and flow. It has for many, many years. My usual method of dealing with this is to do …

Tea with Hungry Lucy #120 (kerli and blunt)

In episode 120 of Tea with Hungry Lucy, Christa and War-N give us all the juicy details of their recent show with Thoushaltnot at The Dock in Cincinnati. War-N talks about keeping himself to himself, and then feels he's contradicted himself. Christa raises an …

Good show

Thanks for all those that came out to the Hungry Lucy / Thoushaltnot show at The Dock last night. Despite some initial hiccups with the sound system we managed (thanks in large part to TSN's Foo) to get a stable enough system by show time. The performance went well …

Tea with Hungry Lucy #119 (the especially windy city)

Christa and War-N return to the airwaves with no video streams to distract them this week. Christa shares the progress of the vegetable garden while War-N stays indoors. The duo talk about their recent trip to Chicago to see Yazoo perform live (War-N so totally blogged …

Tea with Hungry Lucy #118 (Harry Pooters and Medicated Wipes)

Not much can really express this podcast other than just listening, so we'll just tell you where to go for the OPM's! CB was in "nod mode" with War-N this week with his picks of Alanis Morissette and her new album 'www.amazon.com%2FFlavors-Entanglement-Alanis-Morissette%2Fdp%2FB0016AJU2C%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dmusic%26qid%3D1215376846%26sr%3D8-1&tag=hungrymedia-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Flavors of Entanglement' along with a powerful song by

Tea with Hungry Lucy #117 (The L Word)

Well, despite HL's efforts to stream the podcast live, we had technical difficulties outside of our own control. Thusly, the podcast will not have a live video stream for this episode. Sorry :/ It's all Leo Laporte's fault!

But, the duo still had lots to talk about. …

A Day in the Futuristic Space Car

Today (Sunday) was spent working on a new song (called "Just Imagine") that started life as "Futurist Space Car". We actually played bit of it on TWHL #102.

I spent today cleaning up the arrangement and we just recorded Christa's final vocals about 30 minutes ago. The …

Tea with Hungry Lucy #116 (Killed by Hollywood)

In a rather dry-feeling episode, the duo chat briefly about how evil the sun is, how great Sex and the City the movie was and how violent Prince Caspian was! CB wishes Chris & Tina (long time friends from Lexington) a happy birthday today live on the streaming video of …

Hello all. We've decided to take Tea With Hungry Lucy (our weekly podcast) to a bi-weekly schedule for the Summer. At least until we have something more frequent to share with you that is.
