Giant update - 666 times!

The Thirty-One project was listened to 666 times in the last 24 hours. Yikes! I wish these last songs had been a little...punchier?

I'm a feature now on the bandcamp website!

Anyway: I wrote a song by request for twin fans who turned 17 today (the 27th.) It's hard to be a sister, sharing everything, birthdays even. Zoe and I don't look alike but people still confuse us all the time. One time, in Vegas, Zoe looked across the table at me and said (in all sincerity) "Hey Zoe, I was thinking....." We all just stopped, and I said, "Did you just call me you?"

Las Vegas does strange things to the brain.


Here is the twin song

Yesterday I wrote wrote three songs in a row to play catch up with myself. I fell behind after birthday/show/visitor madness. Writing three songs in an hour was very interesting.

So far one of my favorite songs of the series is this funky piece of dance love written for Fred Frith:

But really you should just head over to www.vermillionlies.bandcamp.mu and listen to them all. I marked my favorites with stars.

I will write more in the morning.

So much lovely love.

p.s. This project is making my brain more musical. It's amazing!
