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.)
