Paper Aminals.

It has definitely been a while since I’ve posted anything on here. Apologies. You’re probably wondering what I’m up to. Well…

I’M IN A BAND, Y’ALL!

Our name is Paper Aminals (you read right) and we’re going to rock your world. This is so exciting/fun! I get to hang out and play music with two of my favorite people (Elizabeth Acle & Vanessa Gonzalez). Check out our Tumblr/website for news and junk.

Paper Aminals should hold you over while I’m on this unforseen break from recording/gigging on my own.

Hope you’re all well! Besos.

Thank You All Asia!

Just taking a quick moment to thank everyone that came out to tonight’s show in Cambridge. You all rock! And, met/heard a really cool band: Ty Hall & The EZ3. They’re headed to SXSW, so check them out if you’ve got the opportunity. So. Worth. It.

Also, do you have cool people that make cupcakes for your shows? No, you don’t. I do. Peep this.

Formspring Friday.

The very first installment of Formspring Friday! I promise I’ll get more interesting as more questions pour in, so get crackin’ on formspring. Here are the greatest hits from February. And, don’t forget: come to the show tomorrow night.

What’s something that you secretly wish you could be really good at, but have never gotten around to doing/learning?

Break dancing! That’s not a joke. I always joke around about break dance battles, but it’s because I really wish I could bust out some moves at a random moment. I grew up on the classic break dance films. The skill those peeps have… It’s incredible.

What are you most excited about right now?

Finishing up the recording sessions for This City Is For Losers., releasing This City Is For Losers. at some point in life, Julie Benz on Desperate Housewives, and my show tomorrow night at All Asia in Cambridge, MA (shameless plug).

If you won a million dollars what would you do with it?

Oh wow, prepare to think I am boring! I pretty much have a tiny, tiny Suze Orman sitting on each shoulder at all times, so… credit card debt, Roth IRA, down payment on a home… I mean, I’M GOING TO VEGAS, BABY! And I’m buying a leopard.

What Olympic event would you kick ass in?

Archery. I have good aim. And I loved it that one time in gym class… Maybe one day I’ll check it out. If I weren’t so short, I’d say basketball, as I used to play that hardcore once upon a time. But, bow and arrow’s more my speed these days.

You’re going to be put in a chryo tube as a time capsule find for a future civilization. What would you wear and what one album would you be entombed with?

Oh wow, I feel a lot of pressure right now. I have trouble deciding what to wear to bed, let alone a chryo tube. I guess I would dress up as a super villian, perhaps Harley Quinn or Catwoman (don’t think Halle Berry). Could you blame me? How cool would it be to see someone dressed up as a super anything IN A CHRYO TUBE!!! It’s straight out of a comic book panel. And, I would definitely take Elliott Smith’s “From A Basement On The Hill” with me. For sure.

Formspring Friday.

Guys, I’m going to stop neglecting my formspring page. And to make it stick, I’m going to make sure I post my responses here every 1st Friday of the month. So start asking questions! But don’t worry, if you don’t have a formspring account, you can leave a question in the comment section! Get to it!

New digs.

Holy HOLY, the site looks crazy/beautiful! I said it was going to happen and it did. Oh boy. I want to thank Sarah (@moleskinedreams) for pointing me in the direction of Alex and Tess of Autostraddle. They’ve got mad skillz and I imagine they smell nice. Flowers nice, not like, you know, detergent. And I’m done. … do you love it?

All Asia Show March 6th.

Don’t forget to check out the gig on March 6th at All Asia. This will be the last gig for a little while, so you don’t want to miss out.

  • charosofia.com update: "Paper Aminals. " http://bit.ly/dzksWX
  • I'm bored of guitar; I need a new instrument to learn. All suggestions welcome!
  • I can not stop listening to El Perro del Mar. The thought of putting something else on is making me shake like a crackhead.
  • Things I learned last night: Visqueen's drummer is God. John Shade and the Neave Quartet is magic. And is a genius!
