As Summer Approaches...

Mar 23, 2:59pm sugartown
Lotus Plaza-Strangers
I think about the perfect summery mix. Possilby something to rollerskate to near a beach or something equally picturesque? Or maybe to loaf in a field of ladybug filled flowers? Or skipping through a cemetary, for all of you dour types perhaps? I'm thinkin' such a mix might look a little like this: Beach Fossils - Plastic Flowers A wake cover. Those jangly guitars & girl & boy vocals -- oh man, it just kills me every time. And here's another track I'm enjoying, which is a bit newer: [...]

Oh, Paris!

Jan 18, 3:24pm sugartown
You may not know this about me, but beneath this tuff exterior lies a sappy, mushy interior. Ah yes, I am a secret romantic. I hide it well, I try to anyway. Nothing makes me swoon more than a chanteuse/chanson bluurbling about whatever it is they are singing about (sadly I don't speak French -- Quelle tragédie!) It goes without saying that I loved the movie "Midnight in Paris" & "Amelie." Mon Dieu, I am a cliche. Here French songs that I am particularly enjoying right now: Pink Martini -- Je N'est Veux pas [...]

Sometimes Teenage Dreams Really *Do* Come True!

Shy Town - Lois (from the K Records EP) *Audio*
First off, what you are witnessing is the resurrection of SUGARTOWN. Yes, this is happening! After about two years of inactivity, I am back. Let's hope I don't become bored with myself too soon. Encouraging messages welcome. It seems fitting that the first thing I should get to gush about is the HOLY SHIT AM I DREAMING EVENT happening in April: Chickfactor is having a 20th Birthday Party! They're putting on two sets of shows. One will be at The Bell House in Brooklyn on April 10, 11 & 12 & the other will [...]

No Title

Mar 26, 2010, 1:02pm sugartown
No Title I'm obsessed with Sophie Blackall's gorgeous illustrations of Missed Connections . They're so whimsical & beautiful I sort of can't stand it. On her blog, she describes the missed connections she depicts as: "Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. [...]

A Long Distance Dedication -- NerdAlert Style

Jun 11, 2009, 6:34pm sugartown
A long long time ago, in the glimmery city of Chicagoland I had a radio show with my BFF Midge called NERDALERT! It was on Wednesday mornings from 6 to 9 am (now that's dedication!) on a now-dead radio station called WLUW. It only lasted for a few months then the station manager axed it (she sort of sucked in my opinion) but then would occasionally let us team up for fund-raisers & special shows because we became really popular!

Au Revoir Blossom D Many of you already know of my love for Blossom Dearie so you can imagine how sad I am to hear about her death on Saturday. She was 82. I was fortunate enough to get to see her perform live a few years ago at Danny's Skylight Room here in NYC when my parents came up for a visit. She was a teeny little lady, utterly adorable, with a shiny, short, white-blonde bob with bangs. She played a charming set -- her voice still [...]
