A little quickie
…because who wouldn’t want a little quickie with me?
Anyways. A few updates.
1.) I didn’t make it to the Imogen Heap album signing. My friend was too broke to go and I was too tired from work. We still both bought the album and are both enjoying listening to Imogen at all hours of the day.
2.) Ingrid Michaelson also released a new album on the same day last week, called Everybody. Me and everyone else downloaded it on iTunes and it made it to #1 on the iTunes charts. If you’re an Ingrid fan you won’t be disappointed. Ingrid is one of the few musicians who writes a whole album basically all about love and I don’t feel emo listening to it. I love her voice, it’s like warm butter being spread across toast. (Hey, she blogs, too!)
3.) Other musicians and bands I’ve become a fan of recently: Grizzly Bear, Discovery (i’m on an electronic music kick again), and every remix put out by Steve Aoki. I’m really easy to please when it comes to music. Make me dance and I’ll love you.
4.) I’ve been so bored music-wise (i’m sorry if that’s not really a word english & grammar nazis) this summer that i’ve relapsed with all sorts of music-related projects for the coming months. In addition to the repertoire of the new season with the Chorus of Westerly, I’ve decided to go back to singing with my college choir because I miss my peeps so much. I only left in the first place because I thought everyone graduated and left. To my surprise everyone stayed because most of them stayed at the school for their grad studies also. Who’s embarassed now?
I’m also going to try to learn to play guitar because my sister was nice enough to let me borrow her acoustic AND she bought me Hello Kitty picks and I’d be asking to get my butt kicked if I just decided I don’t want to do it anymore. Plus I promised to play a song at her wedding so I HAVE TO LEARN PERIOD.
Oh yeah and I just remembered I need to remember to play piano so I have to practice that too.
I’ve been working feverishly to complete a few string quartet arrangements that I can work on with my professor this semester. I’d really like to see this project come to fruition one beautiful day with a live performance and four string players with a sense of humor and interest in pop music.
Good luck, you say? THANKS. I NEED IT.
