All Young Girls Are Machine Guns - Leave Me Lonely (Ukulele Original)

It’s been a long, long time, and you can hear the air conditioner in the back, and I forget how to play the song a couple times, and there are lighting issues, and you can catch my niece and nephew arguing at the end, and the video quality is total crap, but it’s a video.

Ah, internet video celebrity. (Haaaaaa…)

When all was said and done, this is how awesome it turned out.Also, I was high as a kite for about fifteen minutes because of all that close proximity to that Sharpie.

Wherein I Tell You About Band Practice Last Night…

Tacos bring people together. If this hasn’t been determined worldwide, I’m afraid there are people missing out on a certain level of community everyone should know.

We here at AYGAMG have been recording and we have been on a sort of hiatus while searching for a drummer and focusing our concentrated efforts on making the album sound as good as we can.

To make this happen, I’ve been practicing with my sister, KP, and two ladies I’ve done music with for some of the Encyclopedia Shows, Liz and Molly. These three are the Vandellas to my Martha, the Supremes to my Diana, the Pips to my Gladys. Things have been going swimmingly, and FEELINGS.

I’ve been playing my fair share of solo shows and shows with just Will and I, but we’d scheduled one full band show before we were out a drummer, and then we were also offered an opportunity to play for a big event in town that would help us pay for some of the cd, so we took that, too. Knowing of the upcoming events, we knew it was time to get everyone in the same room to see just how all the cogs would come together.

Last night was the first time marrying Travis and Will to KP, Molly, and Liz, and let me tell you, TACOS.

Tacos and Tacate and at moments, saucy four-part harmonies and snapping silliness and sweet guitar solos; we spent the night realizing just how much potential for greatness we’ve got ahead of us. The music we were making was almost more overwhelming than the amount of booze we all managed to consume. I feel like, for the first time in a long time, All Young Girls Are Machine Guns is a family.

When we do finally come across the right drummer, I hope they’re ready for a whole lot of love and laughter.

I’m about to hit you with two new versions of Umbrella.

I went to my friend at Boombox Productions and she helped me rerecord Umbrella and then played with it a little. It’s fun times around here.

So, it just dawned on me. Like, just. It dawned on me that normal people don’t bake cupcakes and take them to a bar. That is not a thing that regularly happens among people who work in a cubical all day, or with children in a daycare or what have you. Unless possibly there is a birthday. Other than that, baking and bar time very rarely intersect. However, I am a musician, and Open Mic Nights can become like family dinners if done right. So, tonight, I called up all my lady musician friends, and said, “Hey, Open Mic has been a sausage fest lately, let’s take over and I’ll bring some sort of baked good.” So, instead of baking cookies and taking them to work, I baked cupcakes and walked into Barley Street Tavern with an instrument strapped to my back, ready to sing. It was a good night. I saw all the gals. Hung with the bartender. Pet Shooter, the bar cat. And although to random patrons, I looked a bit silly, really it was like walking into my living room with a glass of milk and some cookies, only it was a Colorado Bulldog and a cupcake.
