I was looking around for some new music and came across this artist – Emily King. OMG! Love, love, love her sound. I’ve uploaded a song from a live set at Rockwood Music Hall. I can’t stop listening to it.
Enjoy!

Wednesday. It’s a cold, windy, rainy day. It feels like extreme weather so I’m out there with a smile on my face…that is until the wind picks up and I have to tuck my chin in. People are out there with umbrellas which are useless since the rain is coming at you sideways. I would love to be curled up in a big easy chair with a mug of hot tea and the current book I’m reading, Jonathan Carroll’s, Sleeping in Flames. Instead I’m in a beige cube with a mug of earl grey tea, writing this entry while listening to The Raconteurs, Blue Veins. Perfect music for this cold day. I can finally listen to Jack White without gritting my teeth…Hahaha.
Do you know what I miss today? I miss vinyl. I miss being able to put on a record onto a record player and the purity of that sound. Funny how nostalgic one gets for the past. Yes, I can probably go out and buy these items today but what’s the point when the digital age dominates the industry. Growing up I loved my record collection. Records and books that’s where my allowance money would go. Not much has really changed. Music and books is what I like to spend money on. So as I’m listening to Jack White, The Raconteurs and The Black Keys this sound is so familiar to me. I mean it sounds like the music I grew up with. It sounds both contemporary as well as a blast from the past. Anyway, I'm putting up a video from one of The Raconteurs live shows.
Saturday. Cold grey day with rain. There is much to do and I'm having a hard time getting started. I keep staring out my window. I'm turning a new page in my life and I feel like I'm standing on the precipice of a new chapter. That moment when the old version of events are no longer holding me back from the possibility of what comes next. I feel panicked and excited. New opportunities are unfolding in front of me and I can feel it. A quiet before the storm. A gathering of power. Hmmm.
A sage cleansing is in order. Time to prepare.
Peace,

I write and I paint. Then I try to articulate some coherent thoughts about the creative process on this blog. In between those moments of producing work, I take photos, listen to groovy music, watch indie movies, read (a lot), go hear live music (preferably someone that rocks), go to the theater to see a new play from time to time, watch sci-fi movies, and continue to cultivate my curiosity. Then I write about that too.
