My good friend Allie came to visit me this past weekend on her way back to Boston. She has been on the road for almost 3 months putting over 10,000 miles on her car! She was a fellow Interior Design classmate of mine and pretty much is the biggest beer connoisseur I know! Read more about Allie's adventures and misadventures on her coast-to-coast road trip on her blog, Keep The Car Running. Allie and I used to have long conversations in really bad east coast accents like Mike Meyers on SNL playing Linda Richman during our delirious all-nighters in studio.
Hello! Who is this? This is Linda Richman!
Since I had to work one day Colt gave her the grand tour of the Millenium Park, Bucktown, and Lincoln Park. I resumed the tour with Gold Coast, Lakeview, Andersonville, Wrigleyville, The Loop, River North, and finally West Loop where we saw the keeper of the gem sweaters.... Leslie Hall! She is a glammed out midwest diva who is an avid collector and singer/songwriter of gem sweaters and sparkly spandex. I have to say that we were both a bit skeptical of this concert but my friend Dave convinced us to go. It was the funniest concert I have EVER been to and the most outrageous! I loved it! Check out Leslie Hall here!
Here is a video of one of her singles: "Get Crafty"
dark was the night
Everyone should go out and buy this record! It is amazing and is available on itunes now.
About:
On the occasion of WORLD AIDS DAY today, December 1st a press announcement was made with the complete list of participating artists and cover art for the upcoming 4AD release Dark Was The Night. Dark Was The Night will be released on February 17th, 2009. Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National produced the album, and John Carlin, the founder of the Red Hot Organization was the executive producer. A total of 31 exclusive tracks have been recorded for the compilation. It will be available as a double cd/triple viny and will benefit the Red Hot Organization - an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. Red Hot was founded on the premise that even without a cure, AIDS remains a preventable disease and music is a great vehicle to raise money and awareness for it.
Dark Was The Night began three years ago with a casual conversation between Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National and John Carlin. In discussing the project, they agreed it made sense not to do a "theme" album per se; but something that showcased the bast in independent music, with an emphasis on traditional themes played and arranged in a contemporary way, and on songwriting, which is the strength of many of the artists featured here. As Aaron and Bryce started inviting their peers to contribute, their intuition about the pro-social disposition of so many of them was confirmed. As a result, 31 exclusive tracks were recorded.
