With so many talents and so many reasons to love her, Lady Red Couture deserves more than one professional identifier. A powerhouse musician is only one such role, but one worth highlighting The first time I met Lady Red was outside Fubar.

Chromatica – A Deeper Love
I’ve been all over the map with Lady Gaga. From the earliest feelings of fascination, intrigue and amusement with her cheeky stunts, to the fatigue of her public thirst that would follow. It rounded out years later when it all came into picture, and the world of onlookers came to realize that– surprise!- she wasContinue reading “Chromatica – A Deeper Love”
Songs to Get Us Through
I had every intention of taking an extended pause on this blog. I haven’t been feeling 100% “100,” as it were, and I felt like it was showing. I only want to put out there what will uplift, inspire and invoke meaningful thought, all through my thoughts on music. We all know what’s going onContinue reading “Songs to Get Us Through”
That Time I met…
Robyn I can’t overstate the importance of Robyn in my musical life. She gave me some much needed relief in the wake of Amy Winehouse’s death and helped me to process so many times– good and bad- throughout my 20’s. And that’s what I told her when I met her. Here’s how it happened… My RobynContinue reading “That Time I met…”
Lets Talk About…
Betty Who I’m sure we all saw that youtube video with the Home Depot flash mob wedding proposal. In it, a man proposes to his longtime boyfriend with their entire families participating in the middle of a Home Depot to the song “Somebody Loves You.” It went viral, made everyone cry and inspired a ton of subsequent flash mobContinue reading “Lets Talk About…”

Sidebar: I may run withContinue reading “Reader Request”
That Time I met…
St. Vincent New year, new series. This one can only go so far, but I thought it would be fun to record some of the adventures I’ve had living in LA and running into some of my favorite music folks. Again, not bragging, but these are (mostly) stories that deserve a telling. So there IContinue reading “That Time I met…”
Holiday Songs For the Rest of Us
Without question, it’s the holidays. Wow. Being honest, it’s not really my favorite time of year. Isolation and pressure and money and my Charlie Brown outlook on the season can make me feel more of a weirdo than usual. Many of us live for this time of year, and I cant argue with that perspective.Continue reading “Holiday Songs For the Rest of Us”
Year’s Over. Everybody Out.
In the late days of December, people reflect. We leverage the accomplishments we’ve made throughout the year against our guilt for whatever we messed up, or didn’t get around to. I can’t get into all that. My poor memory and lack of concern for goal-setting keeps me outside of that mindset. My end of yearContinue reading “Year’s Over. Everybody Out.”
Just in Time
People have really been adamant that I stop being hard on myself lately. It’s like, all at once my self-deprecating humor expired and nobody is having any more of it. Curbing that kind of dialogue will be tougher than I’ll probably understand right away, but I’m up for the challenge. That said, I’m having aContinue reading “Just in Time”
