And it's no trick, to make a lot of money. If all you want, is to make a lot of money! Fantastic episode w/ @gigimarie.music discussing all things Citizen Kane and The Union Forever, one of the absolute best White Stripes songs. Listen on Spotify Podcasts: open.spotify.com/episode/7bfX...

If you hear my voice catching, it’s because I was starting to cry. It’s with a grateful heart I present my latest single “40 Nights Longer” recorded at Inner Ear Studios & engineered by someone I’m humbled to call friend Don Zientara. Listen now & give your loved ones a hug: ffm.to/gigi-marie-4...

I had such a wonderful time discussing The White Stripes’ “The Union Forever” with Ryan on @hardestpodtopod.bsky.social !! 🤍✨🖤✨♥️✨🖤✨🤍 Listen to it now: youtu.be/F5PfWOckIVI?...

The lovely Don Z invited me to a mic last Monday @Epicure. I highly recommend, as it was nothing but warm fuzzies. Today, I return to my bandmate Parson’s open at Fat’s. We use it to workshop+practice w/ a tough crowd. I think both environments are really crucial for growth as a performer. ✨🖤✨

Trees are probably the closest we have to immortal beings. ✨🖤✨

Yesterday I wanted to throw away an entire vocal track because I panicked over the way I pronounced my “a” like a real CNY flat “a” gal. My dear friend who also mixes many of my tracks turned to me & gave me a real psyche “snap out it!” You need people like that. ✨🖤✨ #gigimarie

"Jimmy The Exploder" this week on the podcast. One of the White Stripes' oldest songs, played at their first gig ever, and is the opening track on their debut album. The perfect welcome mat to Jack and Meg! Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4zKf...

As the temperature drops, my wardrobe choices get scarier. I skate on a scale of bob-cratchit-ballerina-blanket. Sometimes more Bob. Sometimes more blanket. Always ballerina. ❄️✨🩵✨❄️

Two Dec gigs to close out the year! 12/7 live in studio on WMUC 90.5fm Third Rail Radio and 12/18 at Pie Shop with Nayan and Roscoe Tripp $15 All Ages!!!

Yours truly speaking about the super cool previously unreleased Artistics and Talking Heads demos which are available today at your local independent record store.

Currently listening to the latest @hardestpodtopod.bsky.social It’s all about “This Protector”- the second of my three favorite songs by The White Stripes. So many gems from this episode, including Detroit insider Melissa Giannini reminiscing over The Gold Dollar. (long live the dive bar!!!) ✨🖤✨

Do I play my bass attempting to channel this absolute music icon + goddess?? You better believe it. Happy birthday, Tina & thank u for being so completely badass!! ✨🖤✨

Yay!!! & with a season 3!!! I mean, like I’ve told you before, every day is a-dress-rehearsal-in-my-own-mind for being on Very Important People. It’s totally gonna happen. ✨🖤✨

Celebrating our favorite two piece band upon their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. Spin some White Stripes in honor of the occasion.

CONGRATS to The White Stripes on entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! @officialjackwhite.bsky.social noted Fugazi & Minor Threat as inspiration in his speech. It’s amazing the ripples that occur when a couple of kids w/ tons of passion put DC, or, in this case, Detroit on the map. 🤍✨♥️✨🖤✨♥️✨🤍

Here to remind everyone: Meg White is God. ✨♥️✨

This person took this when they called the race

Not that I get super-excited about centrist democrats, but words can't express how relieved I am that Spanberger was elected governor of Virginia today. Every local and state election matters, and this is a good sign that the U.S. is tired of the creeping fascist bullshit. Keep fighting these MFs!

Everyone ♥️s to say what u should be when you’re a 2 piece band (using *band* intentionally b/c Parsons & I are exactly that). I’m real proud of what we give every performance. I love us. I’m a cheerleader of us. I think that’s where u have to start & the right people will catch on. ✨🩵✨ #gigimarie

November is National Native American Heritage Month.

Happy Godzilla Day to those who celebrate. I’m decidedly a Toho girlie & aside from my more recent love of “Shin Godzilla” & “Godzilla Minus One,” my top classic recommendation would be 1972’s “Godzilla Vs. Gigan” if for nothing other than Gengo Odaka’s apartment + overall aesthetic. ✨💚✨🖤✨💚✨ 113

I check NASA pretty frequently to see what the new hotness is, only to be reminded that 💔

I just spent the last few hours researching the oracle of Delphi just because it crossed my mind. My small talk game at parties is, in giving a nod to Plutarch, *unparalleled*. Watch out! ✨🖤✨

😂Same, same. ✨💚✨

It’s a protest song written by me & the incredible @loublack.bsky.social !!! (@seamonstercircus.bsky.social thank you for pairing me Lou, otherwise “Land of Volcanoes” probably would never have happened!) ✨🩵✨ #musicsky #loublack #gigimarie Stream now: spotify.link/rWRBhtgCWXb

Hey! Who’s listening out there ?

Good Morning From The Drummer, My Friends. Happy Halloween!

Two things. Thing 1: Tone, Czonka, and Oms tomorrow night Sat 11/1 at Galactic Panther, Alexandria. Thing 2: Means of Production is releasing Electric Grandmother's first vinyl LP early next year! 18 songs! Do you find them offensive? TOO BAD. Their songs are catchier than any other DC band. Fact.

We donated profits from when we opened for Chad Price & The Peace Coalition to @dcmigrantmutualaid.org & we’ll do the same Dec 20th at Jammin’ Java when we support Bird and Byron’s national tour. ✨🩵✨ Get 🎟️: www.unionstagepresents.com/shows/bird-a... #musicsky

Good Night From The Drummer, My Friends. Sleep Tight.

Saturday night in Alexandria

We need voices like Antonia Tricario’s more than ever. If you can, please support her kickstarter for Be My Rebel. Even reposting to amplify the message helps!! Love you beautiful rebels & resisters !! ✨🩵✨ www.kickstarter.com/projects/reb...

Listened to West End Girl. Lily Allen must be bubble wrapped. LOVE HER!!!! ✨🩵✨

❗️SNAP Emergency❗️ All the people we work with & many others in our community will be impacted by the withholding of SNAP benefits in November. Help us distribute more funds for food to our community: C*shApp: $RemoraHouseDC Givebutter: givebutter.com/remorahouse Love & solidarity!

DC now has the highest unemployment rate in the US. The gov't shutdown is all fun & games, but not all federal workers are well-paid bureaucrats. Some live paycheck to paycheck and they're feeling the pinch. The most immediate way you can help is to donate food & cash to www.capitalareafoodbank.org
