So! This actually happened a bit ago, but well, stuff happened, and some of you already know, but still. Anyway! I'm proud to announce my first mini-album has been released! It's a three song EP. I do blues/jazz covers of "Hanging Tree" from Hunger Games, Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar," and my own original, "Sleepin' In." (spoiler alert - it's not about sleeping!) Head over to [link] to take a listen, and throw me a couple bucks if you want to download the tracks!
How cool, Liese! I really liked your version of Have a Cigar.
Thanks, David! That was the genesis of the project. "Hey, you know what I should do, hahahah..." It started as a joke, but then when I got the amazing pianist in, I was all, uh-oh, I have to up my game! He happened to be at the college where we were recording; he was playing in the big band that performed a piece the SO had composed the night before. The prof (who I thought would be doing all the parts) called him up and said, hey, wanna drop in? It really elevated it; suddenly I was the weakest player on my own project! But I was pleased with how it came out, and it's fun to have something for sale on iTunes!
I read on Facebook (posted by Julian Lennon) that Cynthia Lennon has died.
(Her memorial website.
Well, I think it's real.
Contrary to rumor, Joni Mitchell is not -- repeat, NOT -- in a coma.
I am very glad to hear that.
The new Django Django album is great, which makes me happy.
ION, I think Tame Impala are on tour promoting their new album, which doesn't come out until July. iTunes let me pre-order the album--four of the tracks can be downloaded now and the rest when it officially comes out. Weird.
Tame Impala
Every time I read it as Team Impala. Every. time.
