hahahaha … took a religion selector test courtesy of multi-color blog, and i scored 0% compatibility with Catholocism! No wonder i usually refer to it as a cult… meanwhile, i’m off to be actually sociable now, so i’ll catch you later. I guess May wins for today over at PowerBlogger. I think i’m owed the 5 hours of having a life, anyhow…

If i could sound like any one artist out there right now, it would be Duncan Sheik. Of everything of his i know, i just love the way his voice carries and his guitar is strummed. I admire plenty of artists like Ani and Peter Mulvey, but i suppose as far as production goes i prefer Mr. Sheik. It’s a wonder how much i have begun to notice about production since i began my studio class… by spring i should be a true music snob :P

I really don’t understand why/how May has 800+ click-thrus from PowerBlogger. The most i’ve ever accumulated in a single day was 30, and i never click myself … and i’m only at 150+ despite ruling P.B constantly on the weekends. I guess the key is making an appearance all week, but i simply don’t have the time or as many things to say as May. Although, i’d challenge you to find anyone else who makes as many actual updates as i do of comparable length. If you find anyone, i’d love to hear about it, so that i can link to the sleepless bastards. Nothing (sorry, no link handy, fix that later) is the only blog that i’ve seen make such an effort recently.

I could be wrong, but since To The Teeth was released last November, this might be the first year ever not to see a full-length Ani release. Of course, she released an EP, several discs by friends and compatriots, and an acclaimed woody guthrie tribute compilation. Still, a year without ani is a lonley year. But, that does mean next year’s musical schedule won’t be totally bare; so far Ani, Garrison Starr, Patti Rothberg, and Weezer. Yes, i said Weezer. No, i can’t hardly wait either.

O,…. new ani song named “rock paper scissors” is somehow carole king / tori / aimee mann . I like it. It’ll be up on UpRush at some point tomorrow, at which point we’ll see just how much traffic i’m really allowed per month.
