On hold.

Music plans for this year are temporarily on hold as I will be having surgery on my thyroid this spring.

You can expect maybe more instrumentals this year.

5-FU EP is complete-ish!

Mixing is a bitch, which is why I will probably not put anything more from the project up here. If any kind soul who is wealthier or luckier than me wants to gift me Logic Sudio, I will less than three you forever. Seriously, if anyone wants something from the EP, send …

Cat's out of the bag...

Still, I guess that most of the EP will be a surprise since only one track has been made available. Still...it was really dumb of me to instantly publish something I was trying to keep under wraps. I am not very smart sometimes. Lack of sleep has done in my logic? …

Songlist change

Replacing The Logical Song with Little Boxes because my dad loves 'Weeds'. Supertramp just isn't the same with a kazoo.

Mystery...

I have already alerted the kind virb people to this mystery, but it may not be one. It may simply be that no one wants to listen to my tunes! I can deal, really. I can take it. I'm a big girl. But if it is a bug, I will not be pleased and may take this whole set-up …

Fool that I am...

I have decided to commit to February Album Writing Month (FAWM) in 2009. In the meantime, I am working on an EP of requests for my dad who is starting chemo in a few days, one song for every month of chemo. It is tentatively titled, Chemo EP. I may put some up, or maybe …

So it has been awhile...

Planning to protect my own tunes more thoroughly pretty soon, work up a set and get out and play. Easier said than done. It would seem that open mics have all but dried up in Paris. I'll have to research. I also have the beginnings of a fiendish plan to release a CD on …

La Lettre.

Here's another tune from the demo for anyone who cares to listen!

This one goes out to all you anglophones!

So here I am too tired to be neurotic. Have already had feedback on this song from trusted sources, but am releasing this demo into the wild for all of you. There is work to be done, but here it is all nekkid and shit.

And so it begins.

So Spring is promising some pretty glorious and sexy changes. For instance, my songs are protected, therefore, I can share them with you. Well, a few anyway. They are in the demo stage and haven't been mastered or anything. I was thinking of taking down some of the …

Long time, no blog...

Generic greetings, person reading this blog post!

Filling out my CD/set list/ demo with a few more songs in French and English. Not sure when I'll be done-done, but as soon as I am, you will know! Then I plan on shopping it to Tôt ou Tard. If I don't get any love …

Buffering...

After some juggling, it has been decided that Migration is going to be kind of its own thing, a concept album of sorts. Before this sort of creative change would send me off for days worrying about, well, everything under the sun. But not anymore. The gist of Migration …

New photo!

This is one of a handful of promotional photos taken by my very talented friend, Cole Dodson. They were all good! This is the one I have for now...hopefully, I'll have more later.

God Only Knows

Wow. This was a fun project. I am not sure I know that much more about getting a good sound from my recording kit, but it has been a lot of fun to experiment, try to find the right environment, etc. The next project is my own demo for a future CD, Migration, and I'm …

Picture Book

My friend, Kelly, never requested anything, but, if she had, I'm sure she would have asked for something by the Kinks from Village Preservation Society. Well, I'm almost sure.

Dog and Butterfly

How long have I been listening to this song? Since it came out in the summer of 1976, and I was still hanging out in my mom, playing air bass on my umbilical chord. My father requested this Heart classic a couple of weeks ago, and, so to make him happy, I did my own …

I Something You.

A handful of people wanted my fiancé and me to do a duet. Well, we considered several tunes, and settled on this Robyn Hitchcock classic. A favorite from the earliest days of our relationship when the word "love" was still a little too scary for both of us. Nico takes …

Nick Drake

Paula requested a ton of other Nick Drake numbers, and though I don't shy away from alternate tunings, trying to find anything in a key I could actually sing without having to rewrite the arrangement was difficult. Luckily, the one I could sing was also, believe it or …

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Requested by the reigning Queen of Brooklyn, Michaela Drapes. She wanted it on ukulele, and she always gets what she wants...somehow...

New Songs!

Got a mess of new requests up and downloadable these last two days. Hope you enjoy!

For those of you who have been wondering what I sound like when I speak or sing French, now you have your chance! Listen to "Aux Armes Et Caetera". In the late 70s, Serge Gainsbourg …
