I also describe two music videos I recently created for my new solo music project *soft vowel sounds*. Since I couldn't embed them in my email, I will do so here:
Music Box is the first song on the record. It is about being a third wheel and it appropriately takes place inside of a vehicle:
Ray is my parody of The Kinks' song "Lola". The video is admittedly not especially video-ish, as I wanted to highlight the lyrics of the song:
The entire record is available for listen or download (for free or name your price) on the *soft vowel sounds* Bandcamp site.
and speaking of music, on Tuesday December 2nd, I will be performing a couple of songs for the Bad Dyke Book Release + Bawdy Storytelling, featuring Allison Moon, Dixie De La Tour and other storytellers TBA. At Awaken Cafe (1429 Broadway, Oakland), Doors at 7, Show at 8, Tickets $15 (available for purchase here). More show details can be found here.
that's it for now... -j.
I love your songs, though I am torn between "Are they cute?" or "Are they simply surreal?"; maybe cutely surreal ... I still have to sort that. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of yours, having read "Whipping Girl" a dozen times (well, maybe 6 ... but still), while pre, during, and post-transition (if there is such a thing). I always seem to find something new, with each reading. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words! and music-wise, I identify with both cute & surreal!
