3Ws – J. Robert Lennon

November 18, 2014 Filed Under: 3Ws, books are awesome, music, writing

What do you create? Primarily novels, but also short stories, book reviews, music, and sometimes photographs. I enjoy making neat piles of things, or visually striking arrangements of similar items, like pens, books, eyeglasses, guitars, shirts, shoes, LPs, and packages of food. I like making amusing signs for my office door. Also classroom handouts. Websites. Jokes.   Why do you create? It’s the most fun thing to do, and the thing that makes me most feel like a real person. I don’t have any illusions about my work lasting beyond my own lifetime, or even very long … [Read more...]

3Ws – Ingrid Șerban

October 10, 2014 Filed Under: 3Ws, film, music

What do you create? sounds and images I sing with my husband Forest Sun. We do an ongoing live music series called the Porch Sessions. Here's a song we recorded in Tulsa, OK with our friend Jesse Aycock playing dobro. I've just made my first short film! "All Sales Final" is debuting at the Asheville Cinema Festival in November. I wrote and directed the film and composed and played the original score. I love photography, playing the piano, singing and I'm learning the cello. I love to cook, I like long walks on the beach and quiet candlelight dinners. Why do you create? Creation … [Read more...]

3Ws – Peter Mulvey

October 8, 2014 Filed Under: 3Ws, music

What do you create? Having thought about this for thirty years, it's this: I create evenings of musical experience. I mean, I write songs, and I make records, and sell those records, and my music gets played on the radio and in people's houses and in their cars... but all I ever wanted to really do was play gigs. Ever since I was little. And that's what I've done: played gig after gig, hundreds of nights a year for decades now. It's ephemeral: there's a thing that happens when the singer, the listener, and the song all come together and click. Whatever that ineffable THING is, that's what I … [Read more...]

3Ws – Lucas Papaelias

October 6, 2014 Filed Under: 3Ws, music, Travel

What do you create? i create theatre and music, many times simulatenously... but these days, i've been creatively invested the most in making roadPorn. roadPorn is the experience of music and byway melding into one, bound by the common expression, "the journey is the destination". LPfunK Inc., my production company, produces roadPorn music videos & simulated road-trip movies by tracing the convergence of rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic vibrations with the visual component of HD / p.o.v. scenic road footage. the result is an engaging, educational, and sensory-stimulating, kinetic … [Read more...]

Stella is not amused

October 14, 2011 Filed Under: music, STELLA

I woke up this morning with a little excess energy, and maybe I had a little more coffee than usual.  Plus, it's fall.  The dogs definitely have what Bark Magazine calls the "zoomies," because the air is crisp and clear.  And I think I might have the zoomies a bit myself. So, this morning, after J left for work, I cranked up The Cure and jumped in the shower and was possibly singing very loudly, and possibly also singing all the instrumental parts in addition to the lyrics and having a grand old time doing so . . . until I got out of the shower and found Stella, lying on the bathroom floor … [Read more...]

Random thoughts about music

March 16, 2010 Filed Under: lists, music

1. How did the Bee Gees decide to sing in falsetto? What would possess them to take it to that register? And who told them it was good? I heard You Should Be Dancing (Yeah!) in Staples the other day, and suddenly thought of the Bee Gees as three young guys in a basement somewhere working on their first song. It just wasn't working, until one of them starting singing in a whiny falsetto as a joke, and the other guys were like, "Yeah, dude, do that!" I hope that's how it happened. Or maybe there was helium involved. 2. Have you ever noticed how many lyrics to songs aren't romantic when you … [Read more...]

Manticores are kind of scary.

September 29, 2009 Filed Under: Bigfoot, music

J and I aren't as cute as Erin and Ted (few people are), and will probably never sing a song for you on camera (unless we're incredibly inebriated, yet still somehow able to operate the camera and post effectively). But, like Erin and Ted, we have a habit of making up new lyrics to old songs. Our recent composition came to fruition a few days ago, while we were sitting on the couch with our laptops being nerdy. To the tune of "You Sexy Thing." J: I believe in manticores. Where you from? You sexy thing. Me: I believe in manticores. But it's kind of hard, since they don't exist. J: … [Read more...]

One of the things living in a place with “fire s One of the things living in a place with “fire season” has taught me, is to enjoy every moment of clear air this time of year. When we can hike, we hike. (I was going to crop out my sweat stains, but then realized how silly that is. I’m hiking. I’m sweaty. I’m human). #dailyroxydog #dogswhohike #rescueddogsofinstagram #californiaadventure

Hot ground. New boots. ETA: No dogs were harmed in Hot ground. New boots. ETA: No dogs were harmed in the making of this video. This was just the first time Roxy has worn boots. It was 100 degrees yesterday and the ground was hot, so I put boots on her to protect her feet when she had to go outside to pee. She did very quickly get used to them. #dailyroxydog #huskymixesofinstagram #chihuhuamixofinstagram #dogsofinstagram
