On my 13th birthday, I put my head on the pillow, and felt a large obstruction. The pillow simply wasn't soft. I felt through the cotton with my hands. I got up and turned on the light. In my pillow was a 1995 copy of Playboy magazine with Jenny McCarthy as a centerfold . BIRTHPLACE: Chicago, Illinois USA BUST: 383 WAIST: 243 HIPS: 343 HEIGHT: 52 73 WEIGHT: 120 lbs [...]
Happy President's Day, whatever that means! Yay America. Okay it is Washington's B-day, he's like super famous. Go $1 dollar bill! Educate yourself sucka. Some interesting things to note, The man who co-invented the TV remote, Robert Adler, died at age 93 from heart failure. Let's see, he help create the remote, won awards, contributed to culture and technology, I would say the failure in heart is non-existent. And!!! He died in Boise, Idaho. What a rad guy! As I was browsing through the Idaho Statesman website, I found an awesome quick 7 [...]
Happy Valentine's Day! In the words of the paramour Lorelai Gilmour... "I need you to know you're the man I want to want." "Chelsea Hotel" - Rufus Wainwright "Roselin" - Maia Hirasawa (all time classic) "The Fighter" - Ferraby Lionheart "Weight of the World" - Tarkio "Hotel Song" - Regina Spektor
Sometimes you get a special song that you want to scream about from the rooftops. But you can't. I wish there was some way to take a regular blog post and somehow broadcast it to the wortld, instead of just to one a little corner of it. I hope other bloggers pick up on this song and this artist. You probably think I'm going to go off the deep end about Hello Saferide again but you're wrong. Oh, ok you're partly right. The artist I'd like to spread the word about is Maia Hirasawa . Maia [...]

Hyun Joon at our wonderful Christmas party. Today I played with an old Casio keyboard at Joanna's house. It was seriously Awesome! Joanna and I were at Fosselman's ice cream place and the ice cream is taking a toll on my stomach. Have you seen the new Fantastic Four and Transformers Trailers!?!?!!? Gotta watch them here ! Check it in HD. Okay new music. Most of this music is folky acoustic ish. Just a random mix [...]
I know I said I was going to have the second part of this Christmas mix up on Wednesday, but I didn't want to overload everyone after those lists that were put up by Pablo and Chandler. Here it is though, and hopefully you enjoy these and use them over the holidays. I don't have much to add really, but I prefer this half as there were some excellent holiday tracks courtesy of some lovely swedes that I came across. This will probably be my last post until after Christmas so we'll see you then and happy [...]
THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of Dec. 3-9 "Angelo" - Megan Palmer Smart piano-based pop that puts me in the mind of Jonatha Brooke both for its savvy songwriting--this thing has both bounce and venom--and for Palmer's vocal style; she sings with something of Brooke's timbre and sometimes crack-voiced phrasing, without at all sounding like a knock-off. Palmer is a violinist, of all things, and her instrument adds a nice depth to the unfolding of the song--listen for instance to its role in the instrumental part of the bridge that begins at 1:29.

Hello Saferide ger sig ut på två turnéer i höst. En lite mindre på några av Sveriges mest klassiska scener och sedan till ett av världens mest klassiska sverigeälskande länder (åtminstone när det gäller musik): Japan. Hello Saferide berättar att det blir lite nya låtar(!), gästartister, mer lågmält än på spelningarna i somras och så lovar hon bättre ljud. Maia Hirasawa är återigen förband. Här är turnéplanen för Sverigespelningarna: [...]

As much as I hate beating a dead horse, there are two more Swedish artists that I cannot stop listening to as of late that I feel the need to post about... Maia Hirasawa is a half-Swedish half-Japanese singer with a background in jazz who has a knack for writing some damn catchy songs. I started listening because the inflections in her voice have a strong resemblance to Regina Spektor, but then I stayed listening because the songs were so good. You don't have to take my word for it either, [...]
Efter Erika Roséns spelning begav vi oss inomhus för att se Maia Hirasawa . För mig är hon mest känd för att sjunga med Hello Saferide och jag hade före kvällens konsert inte hört några av hennes egna låtar. Jag fann snart att hennes texter om människor hon träffade i Indien, om Myspace och andra lite ovanligare teman då och då förde tankarna till just Hello Saferide även om det kändes som en lightversion. Därmed inte sagt att det [...]

Emiliana Torrini + Feist + Björk = Maia Hirasawa Nu am auzit de suedeza Maia până acum, deşi GBG vs STHLM este cel de-al doilea album al ei. Atenţia mi-o atras-o coperta f Björk . Pulovărul ăla merge de minune cu părul. După primele audiţii am rămas cu At the Top of the Hill în cap.
