Hi Our Basement :
It’s been a busy week! First I shared my new video for the ‘CU Again’ at The 405 and then I released my new single ‘Weather’.
You can listen to the song on Soundcloud/Spotify. And watch the ‘CU Again’ video on YouTube.
I created this video for ‘CU Again’ with two of my friends from film school, both accomplished filmmakers, Evan Crowe and Tony Massil. I knew I wanted it to be a very simple concept and I think there’s something intrinsically meaningful about seeing a songwriter sing their own song.
Both songs will appear on my debut album also named ‘CU Again’. The LP was produced by by Adam Bainbridge aka Kindness (Robyn, Solange, Blood Orange) and will be released on February 9th, 2018. The 10 songs on ‘CU Again’ are the culmination of many years of sonic exploration. I sat with a keyboard and one drum machine and tried not to play too much with production ideas at first. The tunes have a classic ‘70s songwriter vibe, even though we ultimately wanted to push the production into a more modern realm. This simple, direct way of songwriting is me at my best. As a person with a lot of privilege I felt like these songs had to count – they had to really mean something to me.
On ‘Weather’, I love how the production came out. Adam (Bainbridge) took my original demo and just kinda warped it and morphed it, almost like a remix, adding new drums and changing the keyboard sounds I had played. Then we added the live piano and synth bass from Brandon Coleman (Kamasi Washington) and Keith Eaddy (DāM-FunK). In the end it’s quite playful and strange – it’s a great combination of sounds.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again for listening.

Hello
Good morning!
Hi!
Well well well…

Greetings and salutations!
Hi janet! How are things?
Good morning!
A couple of catchy tunes up there. I like what they did with Weather in the production. Some interesting stuff in there but I still would prefer real drums. :p
The 2018 F1 car will bear the Alfa Romeo logo, and will be equipped with the 2018 Ferrari power units.
Wow!
Russ: yes, but I guess they may want to develop their own engine. Pure speculation on my part, mind you, but it seems to me that “perceived brand integrity” (re Alfa) would demand it.
In any case, good for F1, could use another moneyed team.
What do you think of the new F1 logo?
SUCKS
It’s really plain, isn’t it? Boring, and bordering on, perhaps not non-representational, but… it’s not suggestive, let alone inspirational. Whereas the old one is fast, dynamic, if perhaps a little dated. (I wonder if they were refused taking it and modernising it, or whether it was Liberty Media’s conscious decision to change it entirely?)
offline for now
Russ – I’m with you, that new logo is terrible. I would have liked to see an Alfa Romeo engine, but I’m glad there another team in F1.
Will they have to pit every 5 laps for running repairs
is this thing on *tap tap*
“I’m back” he typed in, to no particular acclaim.
and to prove it you are here
“We seek him here, we seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven? — Is he in hell?
That damned, elusive Pimpernel “
Hello again! Sorry for being so AWOL, my meetings are having meetings today!
does anyone have an American Express card to buy me the one sweet seat left for the Bahamas in Vancouver, (only Amex card holders can buy some seats?) … oh, and a way for me to get there.
