I finally published my first blog that I drafted last August. TLD is now almost four months old and he rocks. I've been enjoying doodling at doodleBug online, but I think that the little straight lines have taken a serious toll on my right wrist. Time will tell. Here are two of my favorite doodles that I did recently.
The top sketch is Siouxsie Sioux. The other is a rendition of a drawing that I saw over ten years ago and vaguely remember. The small details are provided by small straight lines that require clicking both the right and left mouse buttons, at the same time, at the start and end points of the line. A labor of love and I guess that a sore wrist is "suffering for my artwork" even if it is for an audience of five.
At Last.fm, my profile total shows that Lisa Germano has topped my listening list for the second week in a row. Uhm, still not tired of 'er. I'm giving my wrists a break now. More to follow. Happy New Year and live while you're livin'.

Lisa Germano topped my list for the second week in a row. I'd like to wax poetic somewhere about now, but maybe I'll run through a short history of "How I Got Hooked on LG." The fist song that I'd heard from her, that I knew of, was "Sexy Little Girl Princess" from the After the Fair: 21st Century Women. It was from that compilation that I first got hooked on Heather Duby. That CD had Kristin Hersh and Dot Allison, so I wondered whom they had partnered with those liked artist.
Okay, some time passes, blahididily and a co-worker, much wiser in "good music" than I had meekness to admit, tried to introduce me again to Lisa Germano. He copied a few songs for me and I listened. And relistened. And listened some more, but I never follow-ed up about her. It wasn't until I used "Sexy Little Girl Princess" on a Killed Bill soundtrack I compiled, that I really sought out more of her work. I'm glad I did.
Fast forward, blahdidangdihdang and I've really enjoyed listening to her. I'm working on a compilation called "Wispish." I recently read Neil Gaiman's Stardust and I want to make a fairy/pixie/wispish kind of ethereal goodness disc. Any suggestions?
I have some Sigur Ros, Bjork, Kristin Hersh and LG that I think will work, but the search continues.
The following is my Best of 2005 blahblahb'dazzler list:
Woman King ep - Iron and Wine
Road to Rouen - Supergrass
Leaders of the Free World - Elbow
Before the Poison - Marianne Faithful
I never really waxed on about why I like LG. Okay, there is a certain vulnerability to her music that I like. Looking into a dusty window of a dollhouse that shows scenes I can relate to. I love that she plays an instrument(s)? and that she was a 4AD label artist. I'm still figuring out the elements of what makes me enjoy her work. I don't want to eat all the marrow from the bone, so to speak. Maybe she'll top my list this next week and I'll have more to offer about schtuff. seacrest, pout
