During my formative through coming of age years my little universe was always and only as limited as the variety of my personal music library. This insight was first observed and expressed to me with positive reinforcement by my younger brother via one of his 2nd grade art class projects when i was in the 6th grade. One day he came home and set what looked like an interesting steampunk-ish paperweight on my desk in front of me while i was drawing and listening to some probably collectible vinyl of my parents.
lovestrong: a lesson to learn from the real deal.
Oh my dear, darling Indies, please take note: Forget for a second the ocean of talent this girl has in her pick-hand alone, this simple little heartfelt email = her Best EPIC WIN yet, and is exactly why her ‘making it’ is in the bag. This small note is that oh-so-important personal connection with your […]
Anthrophile
From: Anthropologie To: Ses Subject: The big sale. (How big, you ask…?) Maybe it’s my female weakness* with math + spatial relationships, but i always thought size was in the eye of the beholder and that it’s not the size of the sale that matters, but how you use it… REAL TALK: If your anthrophile affliction is […]

getting ink done
“…like God Ink…” the deflowering ink has been chosen – to be placed on the back of my neck in multicolor (think dreamcoats), uber-saturated hues. the butterflies were taken and manipulated from drawings by John Lennon (aka me in my past life) found in the reissued SKYwriting, super deluxe edition. What praytell, could be more […]

Butterfly: a Video Playlist/Preface
The complete unfinished first season of the Butterfly series webisodes from 2006… before webisodes had lonelygirl popularity. The series ended for no reason, after being green lit for 3 web seasons, and getting DGA support at the height of our limited popularity, with fans writing in daily requesting more content stat… i just hope the […]
Bad Romancing the Stone
Yer girl in music is just so smitten with the tequila-tinged voice of folk-rock singer-songwriter Lissie Maurus. Though her debut effort, last years Catching a Tiger, has no trouble standing on its own merit, the sizeable collection of famous fans hasn’t done her any harm either. How many up-and-coming songstresses can say Lenny Kravitz invited […]
How to Tell if Your Date is Easy by the Band Tee They Wear
If you’re a music-minded single living in the U.K. Tastebuds.fm is OK Cupid meets Mog Music (or Spotify, the music streaming service EU loves that for some reason STILL isn’t avail stateside *grumble, grumble*). Its also part Playboy Magazine, as in, I have a profile on the site just so I can read their articles. […]
Social Meteor’s Top 10 Tweets: #breakuptexts
Lookit this!! Even celeb funnypeoples with a paid professional writing staff wish they were as meme-able as my off the cuff tweet when #breakuptexts was trending. I was ranked #8, but in my journalistic, and therefore 100% objective opinion, mine is clearly the runner up to @PageMoney‘s third-ranked yet obviously best take. See for yourself: […]
steve earle on the music biz today
Steve Earle quote from an article in Billboard next week…
wunderlust
this is by far the most amazingly beautiful and sacred artwork i have ever seen using the body for ones canvas. it makes me think of beatrix potter or something similarly wonderful and smileful and sparkly and cozy from childhood. it even makes me want to get the same ink on me, but considering its […]
Lolla turns 20!
Hi, my name is sesaluna and as i’ve previously mentioned i am a music-festival addict…. this should be read from the bottom up
Light’s Out! Show’s On!
I sat in on Lluther’s first rehearsal on US soil two nights ago and instantly knew i’ve become part of something huge. What I heard in the small, rented space at Hollywood’s Swinghouse Studios was enormous. And while I filmed the band, sitting right at the center and in the thick of their contagious, energetic […]

Blackberry Contact Deets
Recently my work blackberry started displaying titles with names on txts and emails. Don’t know why it did but i love it cuz I totally smile whenever CK and I correspond on this damn device now: it’s just so ridiculously fun, and always a little bit surprising, to see “The Boy Bestie CK” in the […]
Sheenis Envy
Part of the Song a Day project: What: Singer/songwriter Jonathan Mann goes Jon Brion and creates a jangly and highly entertaining guitar pop tune solely from the treasure chest of recently unhinged Charlie Sheen quotes. Bonus Points for writing a song more melodic and catchy than 95% of the genre. No points deducted — […]
Hero’s Journey
This story circle, on the other hand, is just utterly uninspiring to me. No matter how much they try to jazz up the graphics. More formula, less muse whispering, almost no anything can happen…
