The Moment Electric And Other Stories
April 8, 2008
So it's not quite putting one up every week (more like putting up every "so" of the week or so) but finally, finally, it's here.I'm currently separated from my midi keyboard so I've been relying on the wonderful Shipwreck to provide me with beats and sonic awesome. The results of which, are here:

I wrote this song about eight months ago-- you know those times when your life splits apart? It's a demarcation line: you know that all things before this moment and all things after this moment will be different animals. A decision you've made. Something that happened. It alters the course, and often irrevocably.
This is a song about that moment, when you know that the world has shifted.
(Note: If you've never taken a road trip across a vast country, say, America, by your lonesome, and slept in a car in a freezing midnight place by the side of the road, not knowing if you're driving to something or away from something with your nerves in a perpetual blur.. well, you just haven't lived. Better than ice cream.)
Also, I have a couple of older versions of this song that I thought I'd put up here, for your amusement/perusal/thingy. I'm trying to make more mistakes in public, so here are my drafts for all the naked world to see.

I'm still in London, and I'm still drinking tea. Lots and lots of it. These Brits, they are fans of their tea. Things that I've noticed: London is infinitely cooler than Los Angeles. So far I've seen Radiohead, chickened out of David Tennant signing my decolletage, seen Tibetan freedom protestors make a run for the Olympic torch-- things are always happening here. And this is just since last Thursday. (Also: there seem to be no Goblin Children here. Definite bonus.)
