Today I am 30. I've got a new single, my newest song "The City" plus three song poem b-sides.

It is pay-what-you want, meaning you can get it for free. I would rather you have it than not ( Read more... )

It took a long time to get pictures, but I finally realized I needed my mom's help and she got some great shots. I have 12 mini top hats and derby hats on my new Etsy shop now. Some of them have tentacles. Some are simple designs. One is a Magritte reference. They are all hand-painted and shiny. I need to sell them if I want to keep my cute tiny ( Read more... )

I want to work on the acacella covers, and I will, soon, but to record I have to close the doors in my homes studio and the equipment gets bloody hot, so the last couple days I've been casually poking at dance remixes of my songs instead. My goal in the next month or so is to make a Lady GaGa-esque remix album -- simple, extremely club-friendly ( Read more... )

This list always exists in my mind, is always changing, and when I share it it's never intended as an assurance that these things will actually happen ( Read more... )

Hey! I had a fabulous, epic, goth weekend in Oakland. Before I shower off last night's sweat I wanted to let everyone know about the shoot for my first music video, next Sunday (8/22).

Here's the info (same as listed on the facebook event and google calendar ( Read more... )

I missed a few days. I learned a lot. I've begun to grok even more fully how lucky and privileged I am. I made a small amount of money. I made some new strong connections with people I met. I had tons of fun. Most importantly, when I started I was near tears, by last week I felt my voice strong and beautiful and on Friday my balls were big enough ( Read more... )

I started this song a month or two ago while I was in a neighborhood of SF I'd frequented with an ex. I tried to recall things in a positive light but it was impossible. Then I remembered how when we broke up (years ago) he accused me of all kinds of horrible things and told me I should move away from SF. Nuh uh, I thought, there are WAY too many ( Read more... )

I left for PSWED late *again* today. Do I never learn? But I'd planned a simple, quick performance at 24th St Station so I could drop the cello back and home and head downtown to see Inception with Doc. If I'd gotten to 24th St at 4 like I'd planned, that would have happened. Unfortunately a duo was just setting up when I got there at 4:15 so I ( Read more... )

Last night (Sunday) at 9 I *finally* headed out for my PSWED and figured, what the hell, I'll try Powell. Again. Oh miracles, there was a spot, in my favorite most space-age resonant spot (under the east-most entrance). There was also a trumpeter in the main spot, who was so loud it was hard to hear me from around the corner. But I figured, what ( Read more... )

I had a great PSWED performance on Thursday in Washington Square Park in North Beach. I had lunch plans downtown which meant I was out of the house before noon for the first time in a while. Then I walked up to the park and chose a spot under a tree that would be in partial sunlight across from the famous St Peter and Paul church so tourists could ( Read more... )
