House of the Ju Ju Queen

I've been tweeting now for two months or so and it's been a great experience.  My only moan is I now have twice the amount of interesting leads to interesting things on the web...and not enough time to look at it all.

What to do about this?  

I'm not quite sure yet, maybe nothing.  Perhaps it's all about prioritising what is really important and letting the rest go.

What I would like to do is write (blog) on a regular basis, twice a week even.  That will take some discipline, can I do it?  

Sure thing!

I was sent a CD of Freakwater live in Germany (2006).  Never in my long life as a muso have I come across a band that just gets better and better and better.  Freakwater are that band.  I love them dearly.

This must be a common experience for owners of MP3 players. You have the thing on random shuffle and somehow, just somehow, not always...but every now and again...the damn thing knows exactly what to play!

This afternoon, I'm happily cooking a lush pasta sauce and every track it plays to me is 100% perfect, not two or three songs in a row but a golden dozen, all beautiful and perfect.

Now, I can't remember exactly which tracks they were but the artists included the following:

• Otis Redding
• The Scars
• Vic Goddard
• Swell Maps
• ABC
• Jackie Wilson
• Luscious Jackson
• Freakwater

And hearing Freakwater especially, is always always a special joy (c'mon gals, get the hell over hear soon!)
