Tunes from etherworld
In LA for a spell. The gods are playing roulette with the weather. Maybe I’m looking at things through east-coast-lenses, cuz ppl seem so placid and undisturbed while I’m being met by sudden attacks of sneezes and sniffles, oh my. I’ll be spending the next day indoors and channel surfing, taking a break from all the go-around of this trip, which has been wonderful so far thanks to my awesome peeps on the west coast.
Tunes? Did I say tunes?
Four new tracks are online now. Two songs may sound familiar from earlier versions that were but briefly revealed. We added some synth tracks, new vocals, and remixed’em while we recorded and mixed the entirely new songs. So that’s the word.
Good nite,

The mystic eyeball in the studio
So I woke up that morning with a fever and sore throat. Did I let that deter me? Nah!! The good spirits were with us from Day 1 and the alchemists were in. It was Ronen on drums, Iakov on guitar and bass, Ben Lindell manning the board. Also in the house were my dear friends Joe Berger and George Geshner providing all the good vibes you could ever ask for, and Mike Murphy holding down like an unperturbed knight in viking armor. To me it was like a $1,000,000/hr recording session, except, and the metaphor continues to be apt, we only had very limited time to record. So we tore through the songs like fire blazing through a tinder forest. It was the first stage of fleshing out these demo freshies that’s part of my top-secret project that I’m not at liberty to speak of just yet.
However, the photos from the mystic eyeball will give you a hint of what’s to come. Believe me, I’d love to divulge more info. The new songs are like hott-rocks from the underworld still in transport. I’m bursting at the seams to tell of the coming rapture!!! Soon, my peeps, very soon. Ohhhyeeaaa.
Year of the Tiger (photos)
Didn’t know what the background image was until I saw the photos myself. All I can say is I had fun playing this brief set, and there was nothing political about it. Met a lot of lovely wonderful creative people that night. Thank you to Jay Li for the photos and keeping my camera safe even when things got a bit chaotic.
K, back to writing…..
Year of the Tiger
I’m deadly fast. That’s what the front of my Tshirt tells me. In French, Swahili and Swedish. Trust me when I say it to be true. Rawrrr.
This next show comes from my friend Diana. She approached me to perform in this year’s Lunar New Year Festival, hosted by her rollicking network of sexy culture mavens at asianinnyc.com. Though the actual year turns resplendent Tiger on February 14th (yes, the same day as resplendent V-day), the event itself happens February 20th. I say any event that’s worthy of being deemed an event should stretch on for at least one week. This one lasts a full year. Wha?
au revoir mes enfants
