I wanted to yesterday but I was all ill and couldn't get out of bed. :(
Also: do you have AIM or anything? I only recently got it thanks to AlmostTechnicolor but umm, ASK BOXES AREN'T CONVENIENT AND Y'KNOW, I STALK YOU. *blush*

if you’re so inclined, please check out my friend M’s band. he’s got a fantastic voice — the distinctive, unique and easily recognizable kind. (i’d give anything to have that! hnnngh.) M does killer elvis covers, but of course i’d much rather hear originals. his band went and did the whole recording recently; can’t wait for the EP. circus bear sounds...

yellowpaperclips asked: Hello there! Mr Doble tagged me on a post that led me here! I just had to say... Wow, I'm digging your music! :D And reading the words "Clever Cover Stories" made me do a little dance because, well, there's a Dashboard connection. Haha. Lastly, your mom and I have the same dog. WITH THE SAME NAME. How odd is that? Only my pup is named after Cinderella's dog. :D Anyhoo,...

keepthewindowopen asked: If you're interested in another Yeats, I think He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven would be awesome (http://www.online-literature.com/yeats/776/) or Failing and Flying by Jack Gilbert (http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/16872).

pi-pipluuup-deactivated20110523 asked: Umm, I know you get requests all the time, but I was listening to Supermassive Black Hole by Muse and thought you'd probably be able to cover it pretty well if you wanted to so umm....just wondering. ^^;;

ILOVEYOU. <3

hello, ill-give-you-the-world! those are 2 different poems, yes? you’re sort of quoting “i speak not — i trace not.” the “stanzas for music” starts off with “there be none of beauty’s daughters.” i may give the former a try; thanks for the suggestion. :)

Made a start at learning to play 'Skinny Love' a few days ago too. Their new album is out June 21st, incase you didnt know, I'm so excited for it!

post weekend update.
last weekend was more about planning and less about doing.  things finally fell into place for SEBASTIEN & MARIA and RADIO WIRE EMPIRE SOLVES A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA. 2 side projects with (respectively) 2 very, very talented musicians; the next 3 months are going to be exciting and most definitely challenging — but in a good way. important dates are the 1st of june and the 17th of july....

pi-pipluuup-deactivated20110523 asked: Seriously, though. Thank you very much. I don't know if this will make much sense, but your voice and music really makes me feel a lot better about myself, just by listening to it. I often find it really hard to go on and stuff, and your songs, I discovered today, help a lot.
Keep making beautiful music, lady.

"OKAY, HOW DO I GET TO THIS POINT?"
I: I really, really can't wait to bring you up on stage.
APLM: i'm working on that confidence.
I: J calls you our ace in the hole, our secret weapon.
APLM: awww. can i just say that i knew who J was/is coming into this thing. he's really an amazing musician.
I: he is, he totally is...
APLM: and every practice i'm like, "OMG, HE DOESN'T THINK I SUCK!" WHAT IS THIIIIS? so yeah. can you tell i was a gigantic twisted halo fan?
I: dude, he really respects your talent, as do I. I don't think you know how good you are. I mean, REALLY know. that's why we both want to see you blossom onstage, because we BOTH can see what you're capable of.
APLM: aw, let's not get into that. but yeah i'm so lucky to be working with you guys! when i listen to you, i'm like... OKAY, HOW DO I GET TO THIS POINT? where confidence is just oozing out. you're really an inspiration as well.
I: trust me... it will come, and you will look back and smile at how you thought it was so hard, when it really wasn't. it will become second nature to you.
