the black heart procession

anna and i finally got to see them and wow...i am still completely transfixed.
they are one of the best bands i have ever heard in my life.

..for those of you in san francisco, they're playing the great american music hall tomorrow night (sunday). honestly, do not miss it. mellow dark gorgeous eerie textures and outstanding talent on all instruments. in fact i think anyone who is into pink floyd's dark stuff (er, i guess it all is) will love this band. i especially swooned over the piano and violin. theremin was an added bonus.

california

it's the little things, like yesterday...driving up the coast with the top down, the sun bright and the wind licking my face....lobster lunch in malibu, overlooking the beach. these things make me happy.

good friends

i reconnected with one of my dearest friends lisa goldman last night. she has been an inspiration and guide in my life and i am blessed to have her back.

quincy jones has brought her onboard for his WE ARE THE FUTURE project which is akin to the WE ARE THE CHILDREN project he did 17 years ago. this one will raise money to benefit children in areas of conflict.

new music..

anna has a new track she's finishing up for the 'designed disorder' compilation that's coming out. it's genius. absolutely fkkn brilliant. she is so my favorite. i'll let you know when that is released.

deru has a new one out 'pushing soil' on delikatessen (wikked) w/ remixes from xela, lusine, logreybeam and ginormous. [ buy it here ]

12 hours

[did i *really* just spend 12 hours of my life driving?]

so i went to san francisco this weekend. i decided / for whatever insane reason / to drive up and back. why i didn't fly...what was i thinking? well...i was thinking a lot, lemme tell you. nothing else to do but think and drive, really.

anyway...i now have the rest of my stuff, and that's that. done. over. good bye. i spent last night with my friend lina who makes me so happy (thanks bunny) then this morning we brunched with pablo. i got one of his designs which has me completly mezmerized and in love with my second inanimate object (number one being the car i bought last week) please look at this light -- tho you have got to see it to appreciate it fully. as soon as i got home i put it up. it's incredible.

i am exhausted but the chapter is closed. i am blessed.
