hmmm.

When i think about doing vocalist work i dont want to worry about how i sound but i guess i do for the fact that i want my message to be put out there on my terms and how i want it to be expressed and if my vocals dont suit my songwriting i dont think its shameful to allow somebody else to use theirs.
On another note, i got a parcel slip in my post box today, I hope its my copy of 'Girls to the Front by Sara Marcus'...Kathleen says its a fucking amazing book so I cant wait to read it for myself :D

rant. part #1

SO.
I love Bikini Kill. I adore Kathleen Hanna. I hope I can one day meet her...I found out that on her birthday (November 12th) this year she turned 42 years of age, but Kathleen doesnt appear a day over 25! I think her strength is a contributor. Its amazing that the Bikini Kill Archive has been created, it is a brilliant record of photos, stories, quotes about the band and the era itself. Gives you a much deeper picture of what it was and still is, all about. And what we should learn and understand from. I dont think the music of BK can ever be replicated in such a raw way, however there are a quite a few vocalists and bands that exist at the moment which replicate what once was with their own unique style - like a modern riot grrrl fusion so to speak. I have recently been songwriting and would love to vocalize the lyrics in some form - spoken word pieces would be great to experiment with to get a different sound and atmosphere.

My 'Crow Girl' pendant was shipped today so Im eager to get it in the mail! Go to Etsy and find the uniqueartpendants seller, she makes some beautiful stuff! This piece represents my name and also the poetic design is so unusual.

sleep.

dreams are full of monsters.
monsters are full of fear.
fear is full of deception.
deception is full of lies.
lies are full of darkness.
darkness is full of monsters.

baby rabbit.

Our dog brought in a baby rabbit up onto the driveway, luckily it was not badly injured...I cuddled it to my chest with a blanket around us, its heart beating fast then slower and steadier as it relaxed in it's peace. It was sleepy so I bundled it up in the blanket in a box so it can have a night of rest. We hope to release it back into the bush tomorrow so it can return to its burrow, I wish it were possible to look after this rabbit, but its likely to have myxamotosis, so we cannot. Such a beautiful, gentle little thing.
