at alice's restaurant

amazing playlist (no im not referring to my stuff) over at crossroads bob's for this past sunday, it was an allout fun fest ;) check it out! i had never heard the entire alice's restaurant before, that was a hoot ;)

fallout

so chinese democracy got panned by the times today, after all that time money and effort. how rude! makes a person nervous to get reviews, but i havent heard any of the record yet. 17 years, dude! i thought my marriage was a long time! wow. and also ry cooder takes a trip through the mojave and all his retrospective, jennifer anniston talks about going to the rudolf steiner school in nyc and how she wasnt allowed to watch tv either, and david lynch apparently is reporting the weather from his painting studio in la via the internet-- and discussing the vast ocean of consciousness in each of us. see if i ever open the sunday times again, usually they just sit there in a blue plastic bag for weeks before getting designated to the window washing department unread. ok: i actually do open them, remove the book section, the magazine, the headlines and maybe the arts but i dont ACTUALLY read them they just decorate the coffee table.

whew.

on the other hand. our very own vice president is being indicted in a prison-income, abuse of prisoners scheme, and the french are considering bringing charges of bribery, money-laundering and misuse of corporate assets in another pretty halliburton situation, this time in nigeria. all's i can say is, let's make sure to help our leadership lead this time around, shall we?

so. the records up on the austin music download site, but NB! NB! (cant remember the last time i saw those initials: nota bene (abbreviation) meaning to take special note (used to precede a written note). [ORIGIN: Latin.]):these are samples online only until the next few days when the whole thing'll be uploaded in final form. they're going up one at a time but just wanted to get the samples up and the lovely folks over at AMD have been mighty patient and kindly about our drawn out release... ;)

[NB: The finals are up at jenniferleonhardt.com, 12/1/08]

anyway, here's the linkolas to the music, keep your shoes shined and your nose in the air!

i have the good fortune to be working with some very precise and exacting people on this thing and good thing, you'd be listening to mud otherwise. if you're listening. and if you're not---why not!!!!!!!! some good sh*t on there, people who know how to make sound sound good. im super happy about it, but hang tight, the finals'll be up here shortly.

meantime again, it's freezing! had to bring my potted geranium, my paris red, in and set it down in the living room so it would survive. i dont know if it's a biannual or perennial but frankly im performing a ghoulish experiment and hoping to make it last a long time. it's bursting red flowers at present thanks to this mild november--well, not mild anymore. what i want is overflowing window boxes, man, and digitalis and belladonna and hypericum and lavendula and rosamarinus officinalis, dude. and buttercups and dandelions. hell yeah.

plus, and dont forget: this sunday over on 89.9 FM KYRS out of spokane washington (that's www.kyrs.org or www.myspace.com/crossroadsatkyrs), crossroad bob will be doing a show on (capitol letters here) Emerging Independent Artists, which a great turn of phrase and he is kind enough to include some tunes of mine in there- so join us on sunday at 1 PM PST (that's west coast time, apply your differences as needed) for some new music and i'm making the pancakes. oh, and coffee.

where will you be tuesday night?

i'll be here, how 'bout you?

according to my junk email, i am a very fat ("See Jennifer to drop as much weight as you possibly can! Try TriSlim!") older gentleman with erectile dysfunction ("Rock her world with your huge member viagra") who needs a date ("Meet your Match!"), a cash advance ("60 seconds process! SuperFastPayAdvance"), an education ("New online diploma for you") and a new career ("Help solve crimes: Jennifer is it in your DNA?").

i won't let it go to my head.

meanwhile, LA is burning:

final mile

so i finally cleaned my house this weekend, first time really in six weeks. serious. dust bunnies and just dust, and i used the times sports section from back in sept to polish up the bathroom glass. i like to move everything around quarterly so its something i do anyway thoroughly when the season changes but this was major overdue. i have some amazing immune boost emergen-C my mom sent me, awful to taste but definitely cheerful-making once you get past that.

we've been slogging away on this thing, getting finals down. all weekend i kept remembering matt talking about zeroing out the mixes on the last record, and ..... well. cooliosis.
