Tore My Heart

Lo & Behold, look at all the fresh young minds!!!!! I love you all, and wish I could touch my toes to my ear.
On songwriting…
Hey all
Haven’t had a chance to post for almost a week here, my apologies! My brain has been exploding with musical ideas right and left, so I’ve been trying to take advantage of the inspiration and write some new music. I am pleased with the results, especially when they are given even the most preliminary [...]
Last night’s band practice.
Yesterday I told you about learning guitar chords that twisted my brain into an enamored frenzy. One reason I was able to focus so hard on something so challenging to me musically is because I’ve been battling laryngitis.
Ohhh, pobrecita, itty bitty sicky….
Nope. Pretty awesome. I mean it isn’t a pleasant sensation, but check it out:
Because [...]

Dear 2009: A love letter
Dear 2009, what adventures we had! I’ll always remember you, and thank you for preparing me for what may come….
The week between…
Chock full of musicians, piano playing that made my heart sprout tentacles just so they could sway along. Flip-flop-heart. Felt so good. Guitar around a fire did the same, Viva el Clandestino….
More creepy Tore My Heart magic!
Ophelia from Cecile Davis & Floofie Films on Vimeo, text from site:
Filmed in the Neck District, to the music Tore My Heart by Oona. This film was based on the following speech from Shakespeare’s Hamlet:
There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she [...]

Ohhhh what a night.
This is Sonya Tayeh. She is from Detroit. She moved to San Francisco, sat in a studio for three years and thought about how she wanted to move, and then she headed for Los Angeles. Look at her now. You go girl. I think that’s what we all do, to various degrees, if we [...]

One week later…
One week ago I woke up to a 5am text message from my sister in DC letting us know “Tore My Heart” was on iTunes. We had canceled Tuesday’s band practice so we could watch “So You Think You Can Dance” – and we rarely cancel band practice.
A lot can happen in a week. We [...]

Ice Skating: Fur, Velour, but no spills.
Yesterday I was corralled by a dapper man in a mustache, who swept me away from the computer and took me to the Oakland Ice Center, where we boldly slithered across the ice balanced on razor blades.
I’ve been once before, a Valentine’s day field trip in gradeschool. My older sister, ever the athlete, [...]

This has been a VERY exciting day – starting with a text message from my sister in DC at 5:12am (Cali time :) saying we were up on iTunes, and she’d bought both tracks. I tried, I really tried, to drag my eyes open and pick up the computer and [...]
Alright folks….

Many thanks to Josie, Yariv, Dave, Sep, Bijou, Max, Mom, and other Dave for your help and feedback, [...]
