For something different today, here are some of my current favs on heavy rotation.
Fly by St. Lola in the Fields (listen here.)
Can’t Stand the Rain by The Rescues
Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson
Sigh No More by Mumford and Sons
Radio Interview, Tara
You can find an interview I did with Lisa Davis here, focusing on DID/MPD and the show.
“Leah Peterson is the consultant on the Showtime series United States of Tara, starring Toni Collette, conceived and produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Diablo Cody.”
So, You Want To Make A Podcast
And I did. Now you can get both (ALL TWO of them) of the old columns in a podcast feed, thanks to Joe. Go ahead and subscribe. You know you want to. If you just want the MP3 file, click here. The song at the end of this one is called Chicken Bone Pizza, written by my sister Celia and sung by the very same Nate as last time. Man, I come from a talented family.
I What?
Because I love the sound of my own voice (false) I made the first of what I hope to be the entire series of old columns in MP3 form. You can listen to me drone on and on about the planets in Lucky Stars, Bad Signs and Planets in Retrograde. Text version here. The awesome music you hear in the intro is a sample from a song two of my brothers did for my sister on her birthday some years back. The end song, which I included in its entirety just for the fun of it, is my brother, Nato, singing a song that us younger kids sang growing up called I Like You. I believe my sister Rhoda made it up one day as we walked to the swimming pool on a hot summer afternoon and we all started singing different parts to harmonize. In this version, Nate is doing all the parts himself. Kind of talented, isn’t he?
I have a little bit of a cold but I hope that makes me sound sexy, not drunk and sleepy.
