about

i love music. so should you.

this is my (mostly) music blog. i wanted a space where i could wax poetically about all the bands and artists i love. (my heart and my cd collection is v. v. big.) you'll also find a smattering of writing related things, since that's what i'm doing these days, along with other pop culture miscellanea.

things you need to know: i live in chicago, but i used to live in new york city. i go to a lot of shows. i stopped being ashamed of my musical tastes a long time ago. the first time i heard "eleanor rigby" by the beatles, i was nine years old and i still get goosebumps when i hear those opening strings. i sing - trained in opera, musical theater, and everything in between.

i'm not very country, i'm mostly rock and roll.

the dresden dolls -coin operated boy

in honor of international women’s day, a song written by a woman that i admire and adore.  love her or hate her, there’s no way you can deny that amanda fucking palmer is a lady who gets things done her way and refuses to take shit for it.

He had it coming.

He ran into my knife!  He ran into my knife ten times!

i guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. he saw himself as alive and i saw him dead.

(i’m still sad i never had enough ladies to perform this song in a cabaret show.)

today, i went to the museum of science + industry with two of my favorite ladies.  we were there for more than four hours and still didn’t get through everything.

there is an exhibit on the only german u-boat captured by the u.s. navy in world war two and on the way in were these awesome propaganda posters encouraging women to join the war effort.

Kickass Cover of the Day: Eliza Sophie Caird, better known to most as British singer-songwriter Eliza Doolittle, performs a stripped-down cover of Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You.”

[feingut.]

obsessed. and as always, i love it when artists don’t change gender pronouns when they cover songs originally sung by the opposite gender.

love. it.
