  • a little love from the UK

     /  05 Aug 2008  /  News

    Sometimes I feel very young, sometimes really old…old, because despite the fact that these days my laptop and I are inseparable, I know that ‘kids’ just a few years my junior are SOOOO much more immersed in the world of the internet and technology, and much more deft and savvy about the whole shebang. Case in point: there are tons of music blogs out there that we never really got my CD out to, and I’ve just set about correcting that. When I say just, I mean I started yesterday. And, BAM! A fab little blog has written me up already, one from the UK, no less, with a very cool name. 

    Check out the review on Mojophenia! And it is a blog, so feel free to comment. You youngsters know how it works. 

    I also got a sassy new haircut today, so I’m feeling all full of…mojo. :)

  • I’ve gotten another review today; not as glowing as the first (how could it have been?) but from a very well-respected, well-known online publication. I’m pretty happy- I got a very respectable 7 out of 10 on their scale, and while it’s never thrilling to hear that someone thinks you’re nothin’ new, the reviewer clearly gave me his full attention and a very thoughtful, mostly very positive review. I really appreciate that.

    Check it out and see what you think! PopMatters review.

    I’m very excited that the album is finally starting to get out there. When you do something like this on your own – or maybe even if you have a major label and machinery behind you – you realize that it’s a long, long road and you better enjoy the steps along the way. As long as I am even taking steps, no matter how small, I’m enjoying the process.

  • Hey there! After a lot of craziness, I was able to take a much-needed and utterly fantastic vacation recently. Which explains why I was a bit slow to respond to messages and why my last few blogs have been a little lacking in actual content. Now that I’m back, though jet-lagged, I’m excited for what musical endeavors may lie ahead. It’s time to get the CD OUT THERE! It already received its first review on musictap.net (a great one, yay!) and I’m certainly hoping for more…in that same vein, if possible. :)

    Beyond that, I really do feel like LA is home for me now – and it is sweet to return home (after the laundry is all done and put away – it’s only taken me a week, ha!). I’m telling you, it’s a great place! I mean, if Posh Spice wants to live here… ;) I can’t explain it, but I’m actually very pleased that even David Beckham has chosen to call LA home. Mike’s probably more of a soccer fan than I am, but I really want to go check out a Galaxy game at some point. We watched the first exhibition match on TV last night and that was fun, even if his ankle only allowed him to play for 10 minutes.

    Other than soccer, my weekend has pretty much belonged to Harry Potter. I was so excited to see the 5th movie on Friday, even knowing how sad it would make me in the end (yes. I’ve read all the books). Sigh. Daniel Radcliffe was great, I thought, and man, I LOVE Gary Oldman! Did I mention I saw him at my favorite breakfast spot once? That was my most exciting spotting yet, I think. As far as the final book, my family back in FL has basically purchased a book for each of them and said they’d send one on to me, so I actually haven’t read the 7th yet – I took the opportunity to re-read the 6th instead. I’m done with it (sad again). I have to admit that there’s a part of me that’s putting it off anyway, because if Harry dies I just frankly don’t want to deal with it yet. I’ve had enough drama (in my mind) for one weekend.

    So there you have it, folks, my nerdiest blog ever! I am not ashamed. :)
