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…..
Rehearsal @ Gibson Studios
U know I hit that. It sat hulking in the corner, like a big shiny lollipop. That big, red shiny Baldwin baby grand. Mommy, I want one!!! Now!!!!!!
Sitting in the Gibson rehearsal studio, in the former Hit Factory building of legend, I thought, “It’ll look fabulous in the living room of my beach house where everything else, all furnishings and such, shall be ultra-blankly-white. It’ll be the icing on the cake.” Yep, I’m always thinking and taking notes on taste, among other things of interest.
Rehearsal was fun with Dusty, Dan, Michael and Jenelle, as we did a run through of our songs for Thursday’s Lovers’ Concert. I’m excited to play these covers with such a lovely, talented bunch! It’ll be an all-out luscious evening of music, kisses and lollipops.
Le Party
I woke up at 8am today and been going ever since. That’s strange because A LOT of tequila and macoli (traditional unfiltered soju) was imbibed last night. Most of it by me. Yeah, in addition to being weird like that, I do have gymming to thank for every one of my thank-the-lord, hangover-less mornings
Aside 1: (seriously, ever since I started gymming it, out went the hangovers, no matter how many bottles I imbibe. Unless there’s mixing or shitty wine. That’s not a good idea as the resulting hangover can be surrrrious. Then again, tequila is the only hard liquor I’ll ever mess with. Even before gymming, I couldn’t sell my soul to a tequila hangover. Is it because it’s the only amphetamine of all alcohols? The rest are depressants. I thank the gods of agave, partake on occasion and don’t drink on an empty stomach.)
My girl Samantha and I decided to celebrate our births at the W Hotel and in Seoultown! It all made for a wonderful evening. The booze was boozy, as were the lovely boys and girls aplenty. I could still hear the Korean BBQ sizzling on the grill. Everyone had a ball as far as I can tell.
Really, I’m not exactly party-girl, but yesterday I was. I got to exchange a few words with just about everybody, and not enough words with just about everybody. That’s usually the rule for this sort of thing. You set the mood and atmosphere and let the night take off into the ether. There was also the bit of multitasking involved. A scene for my upcoming music video was filmed in the middle of the party. If you were there, you just might be in the next Tora Brava music video.
Here be some photos, matey. Arrrr…
