β€œNo Front Teeth” is my favorite song from Perfume Genius’s LP β€œGlory”. I covered it doing both Mike Hadreas and Aldous Harding’s voices. My backing track has inspiration from the original but it always ends up my own. Check out the video and def one of his shows! on.soundcloud.com/fMtUx58xq03w...

Mad World | Tears For Fears This was Tears For Fears 3rd single release in 1982 which put them on the charts in the U.S. It is apropos for today - and maybe any day. Scaled down, a friend recommended that I cover it. It took me

Funny how every song on Joni Mitchell's "Blue" was familiar. Never followed her since she was "my parent's music". I covered β€œCarey” because I visualized a bunch of hippies in the Mermaid CafΓ© on that warm, Greek island where she meets that mean old Daddy, Carey on.soundcloud.com/xFrao3GSSZL7...

I had to stop Ep 8, Season 4 of Righteous Gemstones to figure out WTF this song was! I put this together 2 days after I heard it! Love the beat, and it was fun adding some industrial synth and sounds. Deep dive on

I love this girl! When Blondshell opened up for Liz Phair, I didn’t want it to be over! Her little groupies in overalls yelling β€œWe LOVE you” next to me and every-single-song got me. I’m still hooked on her debut album where I found β€œOlympus”. on.soundcloud.com/nFPYrc9MtxQ1...

I just saw Sarah Mac in concert 2 nights ago & have been following her since her Vox days. She inspired me to get right to the mic as she still flawlessly hits her high notes. I enjoyed putting all of the parts and pieces together for the backing track of Mary too.

When you’ve given up all paid streaming services (and steal occasional logins from your BFF), it forces you to watch quirky shit from your library.

Golden Burning Sun | Miley Cyrus CONFESSION: HUGE Miley fan here. When a friend showed up at a costume party years ago as Hannah Montana, I went on a deep dive and never looked back. Her newest album,

For pop, my go-to is Miley Cyrus. I laid this down as my son is playing Prokofiev Sonata No.3, Op 28 in the next roomπŸ˜‚ Her new album, "Something Beautiful" does not disappoint! I sound like a church choir girl instead of her deep, throaty voice but I couldn't resist

Went to the leafy suburbs to hear synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani at her alma mater, Wellesley College. She plays the Buchla synth and creates long soundscapes that are improvisational and very avant garde. It was a shot in the dark but I'm hooked!

Here Comes The River | Patrick Watson This is from Patrick Watson's 2019 album

When the news gets shitty (not hard lately), I divert my attention & make a cover. From Canadian musician @patrickwatson's 2019 album "Wave", "Here Comes The River" evoked various unexplainable emotions in me. Looking forward to his 2026 east coast tour. on.soundcloud.com/0pOqW2B15i2a...

Suffice it to say I am def an #OMD Super Fan. I was glued to the show. Andy looked at everyone in the eye, so engaging, fun and gracious (his dancing!). #Boston did not want them to leave. And #Waltdisco left us hopeful for the new gen of synth pop!

It’s happening OMD in #Boston tonight. Thanks to short-lived WXXP 100.7 FM, a whole world of music opened up to me in small town Pennsylvania, and I did not spend my youth listening to Top 10 pop music

I told myself I'd NEVER attempt a SinΓ©ad song. I did it. I got chills while singing it then tears in my eyes while mixing it. My bucket list tour in a teeny venue was rescheduled 3X for Covid, mental health, then abruptly ended by her death. I'm still devastated!
