See the picture on top eh? That was taken a year ago and is the happiest I ever was (so far) in my career. Brace yourself people. For many pictures of my bad hair and all my weird thoughts in general ( I mean more of my weirdness). Between George Floyd, Corona, lockdown and all […]
I know their names and faces. All the people who should go straight to hell and not collect money as they go around the bend. People who have not only pissed me off but injured me to such an extent I banished them to the outer edges of my mind. And still I was friendly […]
Ben Harper has balls. Big balls and he swings them around freely, dangerously. Okay, what am I talking about here? He stated on social media he doesn’t want any Trump followers at his concerts or listening to his music. He wants America back and justice for George Floyd. There’s so much activity in the stars […]
The stories we tell ourselves matter. For a while it makes the hours pass faster, especially if you add in extra twists to keep people on the edge of their seats. Even better of that person is you! Think about it for a second. Would you make the same choices if you knew the outcomes? […]
A track Tumi and I wrote together. You will hear him rapping in the second verse. A fitting song – especially considering what happened to George Floyd.

The tracks are going to Berlin. Well, the ones I decide on for the new album. I have been posting so many dodge electronic songs here and there. Okay, not dodge but not songs I would put on an album. I do that to keep sane and not lose my mind. I know, I know….I […]
I think of people the way I think of music. Wait, allow me to rephrase. I think of certain people that way. I am guilty of wrapping people I care for in music, rather carefully, note by note. I can see the Melodies leave their skin like a trail of smoke. Smoke I must…gather up […]
I think about the first person I would want to touch and kiss after this lockdown ends. I think about what I want to feel, the music or silence surrounding… This isn’t a meditation on the great sex I intend having. No, instead my entire being looks forward to the kinds of reconnecting and rewiring […]
After writing my second album, Call It Love and getting divorced,going on stage with all those sad songs seemed rather….daunting. I recall that clearly. And the big argument with my daughter that ensued. I am singing away my sadness girl, I said. Not out in town dancing and having my way with men. So let […]
