A is For Accident (featuring Beth M. Peterson)
So here's two tracks from a recent recording session with artist Beth M. Peterson, a reworking of Junipers as well as a new song called The Waiting.
Sarah Palin- The Evangelical Christian Right's Backup plan
A. HEART. BEAT. AWAY. From the heil Hitler RNC wave, the dodgy politics surrounding misappropriation of funds, attempts to retaliate against ex-brother in law, rumors of a cover up of her BLATANT LYING ABOUT HER LAST PREGNANCY, and now ah , charming photo of her gun toting in a bikini while her underage son smokes cigarettes in the back ground Sarah Palin is the embodiment of the American Dream gone wrong. Good Job America!
Seriously I am going to scream at the next person who calls her a straight shooter. I hate the faux folksy charm during elections years by these bullshit bureaucrats who feign middle class-ness and middle America eats it up. Perhaps we are starting to get what we deserve , WAKE UP AMERICA! 
In other news McCain called a teenage boy a" little Jerk" while speaking at a high school this week. He was stumped when asked about his plans for "LGBT and workers rights" until someone shouted out "LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDERED" He said he was unfamiliar with the phrase. The most poignant moment came from an exchange between Senator McCain and William Sleaster a local high school student.
SLEASTER: "Do you support civil unions or gay marriage?"
MCCAIN: "I do not. I think that they impinge on the status and the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman."
SLEASTER: "So you believe in taking away someone’s rights because you believe it’s wrong?"
MCCAIN: "I wouldn’t put that interpretation on my position, but I understand yours."
Sleaster indicated he had a follow up:
MCCAIN: "You have one more? Go ahead you’re doing good."
SLEASTER: "I came here looking to see a leader. I don’t."
MCCAIN: "I understand. I thank you. That’s what America is all about."
These are a few of my favorite things....
Okay so I dropped the ball and no post yesterday because I'm lazy, was recording with my band, was stuffing face, texting Matthew, hanging out with Dai, or sleeping... Today I'm going to enjoy the sun and run naked through the woods in protest to the Republican National Convention and hurricane season back home. So I'm just giving everyone a smattering of amazing things I've come across or been turned on to by my wonderful friends. xo

A is For Accident
Folks here's three possible tracks from the new upcoming A is for Accident album which at this point is titled Akimbo . It should be out late fall /early winter and feature quite the line up if guest players. The new album boasts a bolder sound and spans several genres, sometimes in the span of one song. Have a listen!
Lovers of the Arctic Circle
AS If these issues were not enough:
01. She is presently under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power
02. She believes creationism should be taught in public schools
03. She is opposed to abortion even in cases of rape and incest
04. She strongly supports big oil (her husband works for oil company BP)
05. She has no federal or international experience. Prior to being governor (for less than two years) she was only the mayor of a small Alaskan town and a beauty queen!
06. She believes global warming is a farce and is opposed to listing the polar bear as an endangered species
07. She supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and anywhere else big oil wants
08. She supports Pebble Mine which will destroy the richest salmon run in the world
09. She supports aerial shooting of bears and wolves even though Alaskans voted twice to ban the practice.
10. She used $400,000 of state money to fund a media campaign in support of aerial shooting of wolves and bears
Now comes news Palin's 17 year old daughter Bristol (seriously Track, Bristol, Trig? She should not be allowed to name children) is pregnant. Hmm, this amidst growing speculation that Palin's 4 month old son with Down's syndrome Trig Paxson Van Palin (seriously Trig?!) is in fact not her child at all but her grandchild. Trig is widely believed to be the son of Bristol Palin. While I find it bizarrely admirable that a mother would fake a pregnancy and lie to cover up her daughter's mistake, albeit a bit desperate housewives for my taste. Check out this clip of Palin talking about motherhood and Alaskan politics. Supposedly she's about 3 weeks from delivering in this. Look at the body positioning, notice she never once mentions her impending delivery. 8 months pregnant, yes and I'm the Jewish Pope.
McCain will clearly act shocked and disappointed when the truth comes out and quickly replace this anti-feminist throwback with some heinous neo-conservative fascist. Shades of Harriet Meirs here.
Checking with the Anchorage High School that Bristol Palin attended, reporters were given word that her family had taken Bristol out of school due to contracting infectious mononucleosis. The amount of time Bristol was absent shifts from five to eight months.
Mono can last anywhere from two weeks to three months, but an eight month infection is a freak oddity. Yet it remains a common excuse given by girls in private & Catholic schools around the nation when pregnancy comes into play. Not the first time, not the last time.

Poncho Hot-pants Stole Tara's Drink
Last night our good friends at Gay Condo hosted a great night of VJing at the EAST END in Portland , OR. Videos spanning all facets of pop ephemera opened the night followed the Swallows 5th "bandiversary" show featuring excellent opening acts Slutty Hearts (from Seattle) and Karma Bomb. Quite the excellent fun evening spotted a few local celebs (Brit Daniel of Spoon with "Natalie Portland", bon-vivant Matthew Kern, out actress Crystal MacTaggart as well as a coterie of luscious Roller-derby babes. HOWEVER
I must Point out a man who will live on in infamy as " Ponch Hot-pants"
Full Disclosure:
1.) Yes I know that's not so much a moniker as an apt description of his anti-fashion choice. Literally wearing boots, hot-pants and a poncho.2.) I foolishly left my cameras at home so I had to shoot him with my sidekick. Seriously, what is this Gossip Girl?
Okay I don't really know Tara (in fact I'm only 80% sure that was her name) however she regaled me with a story of meeting Poncho Hot-Pants moments earlier , complimenting him on his choice of Poncho and discussing her interests in "poncho technologies" when he suddenly dashed away in a sassy huff. Taking her cocktail with him!
Drink thievery is unacceptable in this current economic climate, be cuter and have some by you your own drink damn it!
