“I don’t think my fan base [cares] about how many notes I can hit. They want me to sing the doggone song,” she says. “If the song doesn’t dictate adding all this other stuff to it, then why do it?” ![]() Wow. I'm still buzzing from Summer Meltdown, a week later. I love everyone but will be back to my usual self shortly. ![]() M.D.X.!!! http://www.summermeltdown.com ![]() The snap of the wire wasn’t just the physical breaking of the string, but also the metaphysical breaking of my perception of myself as a pro, for in that instant I knew without a doubt that I did not have extra strings. My pride and preparation crumbled and dropped like a building in a Guatamalan sinkhole. ![]() Working on my setlist for Summer Meltdown — my quieter, prettier songs since this year I'm closing 'er down. http://bit.ly/2Nb6G5 ![]() Heading to the music store by train and trolley with my son. Guitar strings (me), pounding on drums (him). ![]() Poplawski says instead of reaching infinite density in a black hole, the particles rebound and expand again. Obviously. http://bit.ly/bkwIbM ![]() I love stuff like this: http://ping.fm/gOgUT ![]() I love this song by the Staxx Brothers! Don't click this link, the song will stick in your head for days: http://bit.ly/8YWWm3 ![]() Grumpy swore at the newcomer, and humphed himself over a few inches, glaring the whole time. He didn’t stop muttering threats to himself — intimidating, cuss-filled threats — while the geek sat down on the now-vacant seat and tried to not let his legs cross over the imaginary line between them. ![]() Am I the only one who didn't know about Bisquick? So, so easy to make fresh biscuits in the morning. ![]() The problem with all that setup is it can take about twenty minutes to get everything ready and set to go. But a lot of times I only have about twenty minutes — mostly I do this late at night and I get tired — so the setting up of gear actually in many cases dissuaded me from doing any recording. ![]() I had to share. This is what it's entitled, "Fucking Awesome." Enjoy! http://ping.fm/ZIVGz ![]() |
