Don't know if there's anyone here who remembers her, but she's been performing a bit lately and is working on a new album. - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rachel loshak Date: Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 3:15 PM Subject: SO BRIGHT - be a part of making it shine... I have been working on a new album, my first in several years since having my two lovely boys, Harvey and Ridley. They mean the world to me. Also I'm learning that to be the mother I want to be, I need to allow myself to be the woman and artist that I am. For me, being myself is being with music - writing it, recording it, performing and sharing it. As a mother I'm learning that it's okay to ask for help - so now I'm applying that to my music, and asking friends to help me finish and share this album. I have been working for the past nine months, on and off with Grammy winning producer, Dean Jones on twelve songs - most of them brand new, three of them are songs from years ago that needed to be resurrected, one of them a cover of a Justin Roberts song! These are very personal songs about life, loss and renewed joy that I feel many can relate to. I'm very proud of the material and of how Dean has produced and helped with some wonderful arrangements. He has given me the space, encouragement and support to bring it all to life. I am eager to share my musical heart again with everyone who has enjoyed my music over the years. In order to finance the cost of the recording, mixing, mastering, duplication and marketing, I am offering some special items and gift packages for sale on my website, along with a donation option for people who don't need more "things" in their lives, and just want to listen to the music (minimum donation $25, all donations will receive a digital download of the full album.) I am hoping to raise between $5,000-$6,000 over the next few months. I'm anticipating that the album will be released in October 2013. In the meantime, "like" me on FACE BOOK to see and hear how the album is coming along. Share with your friends, and contribute if you can! *CLICK HERE TO CONTRIBUTE * *TO THE MAKING OF "SO BRIGHT" * [image: recording so bright] [image: FACEBOOK ICON][image: TWITTER ICON] [image: YOUTUBE ICON] - -- Change your info?

Donate them to some cause that would acution the entire lot of them off in one package? Perhaps your local PBS station? I think they all have annual auctions.

The Knife, _Shaking the Habitual_: Forget all the politics -- you're either taking that far more or far less seriously than they are -- and what you're left with is some of the most visceral, gripping music of the year. This is obviously a formidable and challenging thing with 20-minute drone tracks or whatnot, but if you need entry points (I did): if "Full of Fire" doesn't do it, try "Without You My Life Would Be Boring" and "Raging Lung" (the "We Share Our Mothers' Health," "Silent Shout" and "Marble House" of this, respectively.) Laura Marling, _Once I Was An Eagle_: The Laura Marling of _Alas I Cannot Swim_ is all grown up *and she will kill you*. The most startling album, for sure, from a character perspective. Britta Persson, _If I Was a Band My Name Would Be Forevers_: Persson marries her songwriting (always sharp) to glittery synthpop, which not enough people are doing. Anyone can write a blog-pop song, but not anyone can write one with five barbs per. Charli XCX, _True Romance_: The greatest pop album of 2013 and possibly of the 2010s. Dawn Richard, _Goldenheart_: The talking point is Peter Gabriel or Kate Bush gone R&B, which is fitting enough Honorable mentions: MS MR, _Second Hand Romance_: All the good songs were on the _Candy Bar Creep Show_ EP, so maybe pick that up instead, but at their best they're like an early Curve or Chatelaine. Mire Kay, _A Rising Tide Lifts All Folks_: Swedish folk, very hushed and gorgeous and in need of more time spent with. Widowspeak, _Almanac_: Mazzy Star folk; same deal. Bettie Serveert, _Oh, Mayhem!_: Remember the '90s? This is like then. Sally Shapiro, _Somewhere Else_: Remember Sally Shapiro's albums? This is like those. Savages, _Silence Yourself_: This is exactly the sort of thing I will love when it grows on me. Or if. Waxahatchee, _Cerulean Salt_: See above. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #806 ***************************
