I really wanted to do San-Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair) for my first or second record and I didn’t get any takes I was satisfied with during those sessions so it didn’t happen but it’s probably gonna be on my upcoming album. I am calling the record Flower Child so it does fit

Had a prof in music school who I learned a lot from, killer bass player too, but I had to do a practical exam on piano at the end of 2nd year that he graded me on and he made a snarky comment about being distracted by my nail polish and 11 years later I still think fuck you for saying that Pat

Piano solos still feel just as hard as they were in music school when I'd have to solo over jazz standards in ensemble class and the prof would be nagging me to comp during my solo (even though there was also a guitar player). But I feel like I've been making good progress on my organ solos.

Thought I’d take some golden hour photos for my birthday and so far they’ve mostly been duds but I’m digging how well defined my shadow looks holding a smoke in this one

Vocals on my first 2 albums were mostly recorded live off the floor and there are some off notes. But for this record I’ve been doing a lot of takes and comping the best together. Doing lots of harmonies & doubles too. And when I release this thing people are gonna realize damn that bitch can sing

Maybe I’ll just stop using Bluesky and start talking to the wall. It would basically be the same experience.

Does anyone still care about liner notes? I have no plans for a physical release on my third album but it’s called Flower Child so I’ve spent hours and hours digging through public domain photos/art for relevant material for the PDF booklet and promotional posters I’ve been putting together for it

You know, I get down on myself sometimes and struggle with the self loathing and my self-image but I think I’m a pretty cool gal actually. I have a hard time seeing it when I’m not wearing my wig but I do think I’m pretty too.

Girl who's always making references to old albums you've never heard of

Grace’s album recommendation of the day: Sonny Bono-Inner Views (1967). Of course Sonny never took any LSD but that didn’t stop him from jumping on the psychedelic bandwagon for his only solo LP. Is it a good album? No, but it is fuckin’ funny to listen to.

One of these days I should do an album and call it Smokin' With Grace, The Night Tripper (as inspired by the albums Relaxin' With The Miles Davis Quintet, Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet, Steamin' With The Miles Davis Quintet, & Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet)

the STREAMINGTONITE has been activated you will not want to miss this seismic activity !!!!

hey so i hate to do this again so soon after the last time but some unexpected expenses came up and we are in the negative again and need to afford groceries/etc if you can’t afford to help please don’t just if you can spare any it would be so helpful venmo.com/u/PhosphorGlow

Seriously contemplating walking away from most or all social media and just focusing on my art without bothering to post about it. These apps only seem to make me feel more miserable, lonely and isolated than I already am.

fuck the catholic church fuck harry potter adults fuck terfs fuck labour fuck the new york times fuck the atlantic fuck mumsnet fuck the olympics fuck the state govts of idaho kansas and tennessee fuck everyone who won’t leave trans people the hell alone fuck everyone who refuses to stand up for us

Feeling so alone in this world

Still feel sad over not getting any presents on my birthday but really I’m sad because I just wanted some attention. Spent the day alone. First time in my life grandma didn’t call on my bday. Not many comments or likes on my posts. No friends texting or calling. Mom called but couldn’t talk long.

Monochrome Monday

I never read comics as a kid and then at age 31 I got into (Archie’s Girls) Betty and Veronica. I enjoy Are You A Veronica as well.

I’m probably too chickenshit to actually delete the account but I think I wanna stop posting here for the most part. No one gives a shit about my stupid ramblings. No one cares about my upcoming album, I don’t know why I waste so much time going on about it. I’m a pathetic annoying loser.

Girl who’s been awake for 27 hours or so. At my mom’s now. Gonna try and make the best of it but within half hour of being here she was complaining about the smell of my weed so right now I kinda wish I had just stayed home.

On my 32nd I don't wanna say this is gonna be my year 'cause that sounds kinda cliche but I've worked so hard on this psychedelic record and the songs I'm doing just mean so much to me and I'm gonna work hard to see it through and it's gonna be the most beautiful thing I've ever done

Girl on her 32nd birthday

Sorry not sorry for all the photos but it's my birthday and I took some good ones today so I'm gonna post 'em

I know this is lame and spoiled of me 'cause my mom and grandma will have something for me tomorrow but I'm crying right now 'cause I didn't get any gifts on my birthday, spent the day alone, my mom said we'll celebrate tomorrow and it'll be like it's my birthday then, but my birthday was yesterday!

TFW you're in dire need of a powerful psychedelic experience but you're not exactly in the right state of mind for that either

Going to my mom's tomorrow and I've been excited 'cause I haven't left the apartment for more than a few hours in about 16 months now. But now I'm feeling anxious about leaving and maybe this is a mistake and I kinda just wanna stay home

I think I tried to make it a good birthday but really it was kinda shit. Oh well, try again next year I guess

I’m gonna start liking all my own posts just so I don’t feel so lousy when no one else does

On the one hand I feel like it was a pretty good birthday and on the other hand I spent the day alone and I feel kinda miserable and tired and stressed out about everything I gotta get done tonight before my mom comes to pick me up tomorrow and I wish I had gotten more attention on my posts

Few weeks back it was my old man’s 67th so I was thinking about it for like a week beforehand and spent a few hours making him a card ‘cause he’s been known to get pissy if you don’t get him a bday gift. Tonight he called me saying he’d just remembered it was my birthday. No card, no gift, nothing.

Got a bunch of good pictures just as the sun was going down

Just bad: Wonderwall (1968) Candy (1968) So bad it's good: Wild Hippie Orgy (1967) Psychedelic Sex Kicks (1967) Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966) The Wrecking Crew (1968) Confessions of an Opium Eater (1962) Christmas Vacation 2 (2003) Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster (2010)

Scooby-Doo! Return To Zombie Island (2019) They were basically like, okay how can we take one of the best films in the Scooby-Doo franchise and just totally massacre it

I always loved the lyric from the Crosby, Stills & Nash self-titled "Don't run, the time approaches, hotels and midnight coaches, be sure to hide the roaches" and I just learned that the beautiful Cass Elliot, my fave singer of all time, sang on that part, and that just makes me happy to know

I'm listening to Rubber Soul and it occurs to me for not the first time that I might have to record a cover of "Michelle," it's such a pretty song

It's a beautiful day so of course I had to put on the 1969 self-titled debut album by It's A Beautiful Day

It's been such a tough week but now it's my birthday and I'm so overtired I'm almost delirious and I'm stoned and listening to Bobby Dylan and really paying a lot of attention to the tambourine on Like A Rolling Stone for the first time and man Bruce Langhorne is just making that thing groooove

It's my 32nd birthday but I keep thinking of that Bob Dylan lyric in Desolation Row, when he's singing about Ophelia and he says, "on her 22nd birthday she already is an old maid"

Grace's album recommendation of the day (on her 32nd birthday): Sweetheart Of The Rodeo (1968). The Byrds country album, thanks to the influence of Gram Parsons who came into the band for a brief period and was out of the band by time the album was out

Girl on her 32nd birthday

One of the dresses I bought at the thrift tonight. Kinda just feels like wearing a fuckin' apron (I don't mean that in a bad way at all, I've been wanting to get some aprons)
