Writer’s Dyke Unplugged

December 11, 2006 by krisis

Two days of a temporary stoppage of post topics was followed by a weekend full of enough blog-worthy happenings that i can hardly keep them all in my head at once! Which will i write about first, and which not at all?

A wonderfully tipsy holiday lunch with my co-workers. Unearthing ancient audio and importing Blogathon posts into WP. Watching Superman Returns and crying every time Brandon Routh looked a lot like Christopher Reeve. How finding a great gift for Gina drove home why my holiday gifts are going to be donation-based, and my subsequent call to my mother to tell her not to buy me any presents. Rehearsing with Gina, and how it feels to finally be able to sing harmony. Playing in a new music showcase, where I was invited to be in a Space-Rock-Opera (and, how Tori Amos is the great uniter of people). The cab-driver I think I may have just imagined. Buying used DVDs from Netflix. The new No-Cast, and how I have a perfect example.

I’m sure i’m forgetting things already, but I had a long, busy, breakless day at work – I’m not exactly raring to write several thousand words about my weekend.

However, while I go unwind: I need a good cover song to go with a Trio topic along the lines of “Advice Untaken.” I have a few ideas, but I’m trying to stay away from the artists I hit last month. Any suggestions/requests?

    Tipsy holiday lunches with dear friends and Tori Amos are both equally fabulous. Liking them shows that you are indeed a man with very good taste.
    Have you considered “Falling is Like This” as a possibility? I’m not sure it fits under the category of “Advice Untaken”, but I’ve been listening to it compulsively lately and I’d love to hear your take on it. :)

    Hahaha, I’ve been listening to it compulsively for about 10 years, and I play it pretty darn well. I would have to recruit girlfriend for it so we could do the harmony parts. However, I just did Ani (and Tori), so now I’m trying to branch out a bit ;) – any other suggestions?

    […] Even more significant, my acappella experience had taught me how to hold my own against other vocals, and as a result I no longer had to struggle to sing harmony with Gina. Not only could Gina sing more harmony with me, but for the first time I could sing harmony on her songs as well! […]
