Accordions rock

By kate on November 23rd, 2007

I was recently having a conversation with a friend, who insisted he had never heard any good accordion music. I was shocked and spent a recent afternoon throwing together a mix CD. Here is the track listing:

Mission to an Alien Planet  ~  “Awesome”
Home for a Rest  ~  Spirit of the West
The Old Black Rum  ~  […]

Synchronicity

By kate on August 9th, 2005

After my first snooze this morning, the radio came back on just as John in the Morning started talking, and it was perfect timing. He identified the previous song as being from Sky Cries Mary’s new album, and then went on to announce that Roderick and Anisa Romero (the lead singers of Sky Cries Mary) […]

Busy

By kate on January 28th, 2005

If you haven’t heard from me recently, it’s because my new job is keeping me super busy. It’s a really great job and I like it, so no worries. I apologize if you’ve been waiting for me to get back to you about something. Feel free to ping me again (I won’t take offense).
Also, just […]

Hello from Moron

By kate on August 15th, 2004

Yes, we’re currently in a town called Moron… but don’t laugh, it means “river” and is pronounced “Murun”.
Unfortunately, Steve got a nasty bug and got sick in the middle of last night. He hardly got any sleep and threw up several times. Instead of a long day of driving, we drove 2.5 hours to Moron […]

Mix CD

By kate on November 20th, 2003

Last week, I made a mix CD for my friend Zach with a bunch of songs I’ve been into lately (and that I thought he might not know). It turned out really well - I put a lot of work into putting the songs in order so the transitions between each song sound good. I […]

World Music

By kate on April 2nd, 2002

World Music. What does that phrase mean to you? For years, I avoided world music because it simply didn’t interest me. Lately, that has completely changed.
It started with a few CDs that were sort of westernized world music: Songs from the Victorious City by Anne Dudley (of […]

Kate, the Song

By someone else on January 15th, 1997

She plays Wipeout on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather round to sing the guitar
Oh I…Have you got nothing to say?
When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape’s a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh I…Have you got nothing to say?
And you can see the daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna […]
