      <title>R.E.M.</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/ingridmichaelson/posts/text/2295516</link>
      <description><![CDATA[R.E.M.

I had the good fortune to be one of 20 artists asked to be part of the R.E.M. tribute show at Carnegie Hall two nights ago. I did “Nightswimming” armed with only a looping pedal and my friend Chris on upright bass. I love that song. It seasoned my summer of ‘93. I listened to Automatic for the People on constant rotation that summer. So when I was asked which song I wanted to do, I knew immediately.

R.E.M. was there, in the audience. I have never been so nervous in all of my life. I was trembling a good 20 minutes after I walked off stage. I felt like I had a switch on my back that was flipped onto the “vibrate” setting. The main reason why I was so scared was because I had just learned how to use a looping pedal recently and had never performed in front of people with it. I chose Carnegie Hall to be the venue to break open my looping pedal skills for the very first time. Why? Why on earth would I choose to do that? Why would I put myself through such anxiety? Because fear is to be battled. Fear is to be eaten and digested. To do something that frightens you, and to come through unscathed, even stronger, is incredibly empowering. 

I looked at Chris (who was as nervous as I) and he looked at me, we both took a big breath and began. And i just sang. I closed my eyes and sang. At one point, I opened my eyes and took in the beauty and majesty of Carnegie Hall. And I thought to myself, “enjoy this Ingrid, f*cking ENJOY IT!” My voice over my voice over my voice over my voice laced with Chris’ beautiful bass lines, bowing and plucking, swirled and hung in the air. I could feel it. I could almost see it. It was a night that I will never forget. And I am thankful for it.

I hope you have the chance to pummel fear into the dirt.

      <title>Giggly Goo and Annie</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/ingridmichaelson/posts/text/2185140</link>
      <description><![CDATA[GIGGLY GOO: when i was a child, i wanted things that did not exist.  actually, i still want things that do not exist.  i loved the Berenstein Bears books.  there was a christmas edition where it listed toys that the kid bears wanted.  sister bear wanted a many things, but most intriguing to me was the moldable snot green goop called “GIGGLY GOO”.   i asked my parents for it.  i did not understand when they said it was not “real”…how could it not be real?  it was in this book, this cartoon book right in front of me.  i could make all sorts of snot sculptures and figures.  endless fun.  the burning desire for this ficticious slime drove me insane.  i would think about it at night, lying in the bed.  one year, i got some slimy squishy blob that, when squeezed into its container, would make a fart sound.  it proved to provide hours of fun.  even when covered in hair and dirt.  but it never filled the Giggly Goo void. 

ANNIE:  when i was 4ish, i wanted Annie to come over and have a sleep over.  again, my poor parents had to break the news that she was not “real”.  it pissed me off…this “not real” thing.  i just thought Annie was a bitch and did not want to come over.  at one point, my parents told me the girl who played annie (what????) was probably much older than me at the present time anyway, and it would not be fun for me.  this was baffling to me.  

why am i plagued with this want for things that do not exist?   maybe one day, 8 year old Annie will come to my door with a jar of Giggly Goo and all my dreams will come true.  maybe. ]]></description>

      <title>a series of covers on youtube..</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/ingridmichaelson/posts/text/2096059</link>
      <description><![CDATA[greetings,

since i have been off of the road for a staggering month, i am missing
performing.  so i thought it might be neat to do some covers of my
favorite songs and internetually perform them for you from my living
room.

this first one is by Bon Iver and it's called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuhI2djumN8">Skinny Love</a>

i hope you enjoy.

xo ing


<em>"Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind? "

      <title>a valentine's day tale...</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/ingridmichaelson/posts/text/2096038</link>
      <description><![CDATA[my favorite valentine that i ever got was from a boy named jay. we were in high school. we were not even dating. he came over on valentine’s day, after school, and gave me a potato with a toothpick stuck in it. glued carefully to the toothpick was a cardboard cut out of a heart. and that was it. we never kissed. i think that was in part due to the fact that i had the beginnings of strep throat and i proudly showed him the white puss pockets in the back corner of my throat. we did homework. we watched TV. he showed me how many pens he could fit in his hair (he had a huge fro) and that was about it. the potato stayed in my fridge for months. maybe over a year. it grew little green arms that curled around themselves, praying almost. it stayed plump and healthy for a surprisingly long time. but one day, when all the moisture was gone, it shriveled up. the shriveling process was a very quick one. i still did not throw it away. luckily, i grew up in a house where aunt Diane’s home made Marion berry jam from 1998 still sits this day wedged between an empty bottle of salad dressing and left overs of some unknown origin covered in a fine downy white fuzz. finally, when the brown freckles that dotted the once proud potato grew into huge, gaping black caverns, i knew it was time to part with my treasured gift.

jay is now married. his wife may have a nice ring on her finger, but i still have the toothpick with the heart. i think we all know who came out on top here.

she did. ]]></description>
