LHC Rap

So, the earth didn't fall into a giant black hole last night, or collapse upon itself, like the LHC doomsday soothsayers predicted. Still, the Large Hadron Collider has inspired a plethora of goodies like this one. Too funny. Finally, a rap song for us geeks.

You're The Boss, Applesauce

I've always had a fascination for Andy Warhol and the people he surrounded himself with. In a bizarre dream I once had, I envisioned myself as the reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick.

I finally saw the film "Factory Girl", and was blown away. Very interesting to learn that Edie fashioned herself and her style after a poster of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffanys". I had done the same thing in my youth.

While a completely tragic figure who died at the age of 28, Edie was still transcendant and quite unforgettable. Sienna Miller portrayed her brilliantly. It's a difficult film to watch, in some regards, since her decline was so rapid and so heartbreaking. But I still recommend the film to anyone who has an interest in the era.

Reasons to Celebrate Friday 8/29

Lalalalala. I always do carry on a lot, don't I? In any event, here are my reasons to celebrate the past week. It's all good.

- work stuff was relatively productive and fun with a minimum of frustration.
- wrote some new lyrics that I'm pleased with
- made some new friends
- booked an open-mic slot at Eddie's Attic
- talked to a lot of friends and family
- got some much needed rain in ATL
- decided to take an acting class
- money issues still there, but my bills are paid
- faced some fears - and survived unscathed
- it's a LONG weekend!

How was your week? Let's hear...

wishing you love, light and maybe a cupcake or two.

Cool Blog Post

Matt Nathanson Blog
Category: Music

OK. I can hear you now. "Enough with the Matt Nathanson stuff, already". Sorry. When I get intrigued by someone, that's me. I take the words of my "people obsessions" and I devour them hungrily - looking for some common ground - some little glimmer of relatability, or a massive revelation of enlightenment - like a lightning bolt. It's how I get inspired and it's how I learn. So sue me.

This blog from Matt hit home to me as an artist. This is an excerpt from his blog where he describes Paul Simon's "Graceland" album as a work of pure genius that always humbles him. Source: www.mattnathanson.com

there are rare moments when i feel confident in my job...
as a songwriter, as a singer, as a musician.
true, pure confidence.
and it is super empowering.
and it always leads to writing more songs.
there is this rad momentum that goes along with true
confidence that you can't get any other place.
it doesn't last, but if you stay out of it's way long enough...
that's where the songs come from.
that's where you allow yourself to just ride creativity
...and really cool shit happens.

the flip side to this, unfortunately, is more common...
being insecure, being scared, and feeling entitled.
seeing success in others, ignoring all the good shit you have
and getting pissed because you feel like you deserve more.
that's my default setting.
it takes a lot to see that this thinking is a dead end,
and even when i do, it doesn't stop the thoughts from coming.
but this is all pretty human stuff.
everybody goes through this in one way or another.
what i am telling you is not a revelation.

Thanks, Matt. I get it. So much.
