Catching up (audio)

“Happy” Sunday (ughhhh-I loathe Sundays!) Ok, It’s been ages since my last audio, so I’m a bit ‘rusty’, but here ya go (IF U can handle my rambling). I’ve really missed U and I’m REALLY back this time-I PROMISE.

Boop boop a doop,

It’s Friday,Baby!(Audio)

It’s Friday, Baby!

And look, I’ve remembered to add the tags, just the way U like it.

Saturday Afternoon Quickie

I don’t usually envy other people-it’s a waste of time, right? But the people who not only do a fantastic job of bringing someone else’s work to life, but also manage to create the perfect sound for the piece, that’s a different story…I can’t create music/sounds for my work. Sure, I can kick ass in an improv rubberband jazz duo, and I’ve been told I can do a bad-ass impression of Slash-air guitar style,  but other than that, I’m musically useless right now…Not that I’ve honestly tried really, but things like Magix Music Maker drive me nuts thanks to my short-very short attention span, so…. it’s not my fault ™.

Ok, have a listen to this piece and if YOU can tell me who wrote this piece or if you’d like to guess who the performer (that does an awesome job bringing it to life) is and you get at least one of the answers correct, I’ll give you a prize…ok, prize meaning a link to a mix-CD I’ve made just for the occasion. (Mix Cds=yay!)

 

Also, just to waste a few more minutes of a perfectly good Saturday for U, here’s something that someone showed me (thanks to the recent pill talk)-which probably won’t make U smile nearly as much as it made me smile-especially if you aren’t a gaming sort of a person…By the way,  I’m always perfectly happy to accept nice gifts like Left 4 Dead (XBox 360)

So, that’s our Saturday Afternoon Quickie… yummy, huh?

 I’ll give U the answer to the “Know What Cats Know”  in the next ‘real’ entry.

Have a nice Saturday…Have FUN-even if that means eating ice cream and artificial cheese-flavored junk food in your undies! (just make sure you’re wearing clean undies, please-seriously, ya’ dirty birdies!)

Hugs & Tugs!

By the way…

 Answers: It was Stride gum-Spearmint. I’ve been chewing lots of it since the WDs started…(Maybe I can work out a promo deal, I’ll chew their gum everytime I feel icky or do audio entries, and they can send me truckloads of their gum?) And I haven’t done tags lately because I’ve been too lazy-but it’s sorta cool that U wanted to know. I’ll probably go back later and add tags to the  untagged entries, would that make U feel better?

“You Ain’t No Punk, You Punk!” (audio)

Hello U,

I’ve finally found the time to upload a REALLY long audio entry from this morning. Hope U like it-IF you actually find the desire and the time to sit through such a long one spoken with my really, really sleepy-head voice [note to self: stop chewing gum when you're doing an audio, girl!]. It’s quite noisy-loads of traffic, really loud thunder (that even managed to spook me for a sec.), and my ’fabulous’ zombie neighbors coming to life, and of course my sleepy gum chewing…exactly the sort of thing you beautiful freaks seem to enjoy. And I’ve added a few other goodies for U too. Hope U likey.

“You Ain’t No Punk, You Punk!”

Playing in the park-with messy pigtails and sleepy eyes about three weeks ago, Fun!

“It’s just what you need when you’re down in the dumps. one half hillbilly and one half punk. big long legs and one big mouth. the hottest thing from the north to come out of the south. do you understand?”

 

This isn’t the official video, but I like it and this is one of my favorite songs ever: 

 

 Wednesday’s theme tune:

And You can think Mr. Guru for this song, who inspired this entry.

Effing Bloody Poppadums!!

Happy Tuesday, what’cha up to???

I’m currently trying to get a spoken piece out that kept me awake until after 6 this morning…and of course I was too sleepy/lazy to get out of bed and type it or even turn on my bedside lamp and jot it down on paper…so I’m trying to sort it out in my head and get it out so I can move onto other things…The weather’s nice and I feel good today…but I’m a bit distracted…in a good way, so bear with me, k? I have all sorts of things to talk to U about-like a new blog that a fantastic writer/twitter pal has recently started (and I haven’t even told him I’ve read it yet-shows U how slooooow I’m moving right now) and there’s another blog that I’m supposed to co-author with someone about all of the interesting things (movies, music, books, games,etc) we each think are worthy of passing on to others. Unfortunately both collaborators are so preoccupied searching for all things worthy, who knows when it’ll actually be up and running. I’ll let U know if/when it is…..Later I really MUST tell U about some wonderful music that was given to me by a couple of brilliant musicians that I should have told U about over a month ago… I also want to share the coolest, most individual mother’s day card anyone could ever get-actually, it was a Mother’s Day movie created by some 17 year old genius offspring- I’m trying to figure out a way to put it up for U guys to see…Maybe on Youtube  or something?

Speaking of Sunday, I really wanted to enjoy the day-but the cold turkey thing made it very, very hard. I added far too much soy sauce to the Mongolian Beef and the poppadums-the highly anticipated  poppadums???? Wow, they were the most horrendous thing I’ve tasted in a very long time-possibly ever!!! Maybe I expected too much-I wanted them to taste as wonderful as the crispy noodles from charming little places like The Happy Dragon up the street-but instead, they smelled vile and tasted even worse-so sorry guys-they’re a no go…However, perhaps if I hadn’t felt so queasy, they may have had a chance…no, I’m totally fibbing- they sucked-seriously sucked and I don’t think I would have felt any differently regardless.

But enough of my rambling… Have a listen to this song…The sound is interesting-as if it were the lovechild of The Psychedelic Furs and Bruce Springsteen or something- At first, I didn’t like it so much, but then it grew on me. Have a listen and let me know what U think.

Ok, I should stop typing and start working on the piece running round my head right now…it’s not brilliant by any means-nothing earth shattering, but since it was brave enough to keep me awake and even coax me out of bed by 10 this morning, I need to finish it, right?

Ok, shutting up for now…really…I’m going now…Bye.

My Past Two Weeks (Audio)

Have U missed me?

If U can tolerate the loud neighbors, the really terrible sound quality and the random noise that comes with living on a busy street, listen to my latest ramble…and maybe you’ll understand why I haven’t replied to emails/messages lately.

Nevertheless, I’m back to work now and I’ll respond within the next few days, I promise U.

Alive & Fucking Kicking…even harder now

Unsavory (download)

After a few days of sound probs, we’re back in business.

Here’s a new piece, which came to me in the blink of an eye-and I’ll tell U more about Unsavory later. For now, here’s the words and have a listen if you want.

Enjoy!

Unsavory

And so there it is, lying on the floor-helpless and aching;
No longer in its element,
Its no longer in its element.
And you stand there starving, watching this brutal beating,
Ah, it wets the palate,
this desire-dying in its infancy-
this feeds your masochistic belly.
 Though it’s a miserable taste, you love it, but  its killing you.
And you swallow those tears as you let it slip away.

Biting those holes in your lip and scratching at your heart, 
you’re viciously sated!

But tell me, does it feel good  to be alone again today?

Desperate, But Not Serious

Or Navel to Neck…or Libertine (still one of my very favorite songs). I would love to do an Adam Ant song! Obviously no one can do Mr Ant justice with a cover, but I’d love to do a stripped down, sleazy cover of one of these songs anyway. 

After all, falling asleep most nights as a teenage girl looking at this picture certainly inspired me, I think:

Look Guys, I know I haven’t posted in ages, but I’m here now, right? So, let’s just pretend that I was never away-never trying to sort my head out, never trying to sleep away issues, and let’s pretend that this season-and this whole Christmas thing hasn’t got me wrapped tightly in a ball of self-loathing-Let’s forget that it’s snowing (and no, not a lovely ‘White Christmas’ snow-just a sporadic bitch-snow), let’s forget that I’m a bit broke and feeling so low down and let’s just be friends, play nice & have a good time, ok?

I need to get into a new project, and writing…sitting here, trying to write in the freezing cold  isn’t going anywhere. I need to vocalize…I need to scream, or at least sing loudly…and screaming isn’t an option in my apartment…But I have a tiny spare bathroom begging to be a studio.

 

It’s SO bloody cold, where’s my nice, sandy beach?!!!!

Your Moody, Grey, Mean and Restless Lucia
