Morning Recordings: The Welcome Kinetic
©2007 Loose Thread #LTR019
Produced by Pramod Tummala & Barry Phipps
Purchase it at No Karma, or try Amazon

I sang lead on one song (“Songs from a Hotel Bar”) and did backups / extra vocals on two others (“Sugar Waltz” and “You’ve Been Letting Go”).

Watch the video for “Sugar Waltz” on YouTube… I sing, but I’m not in the video. But’s it’s a great video. :-)

• I’m in the back. A squirrel comes RUSHING by with a bunch of leaves in his mouth. Like, HAI IM ON SECRIT MISHIN W/ KLASIFYED MATEERIALZ!! #
• Re: future posts in WP. The mindset is so different from EE, should be our choice. WP ppl get all huffy about it. #
• Comment posted to WP Support » Replacing widget titles with images:

  “I really want to do this too; my solution is the ugliest hack. O somebody wise, please write us a plugin!”

• I am stricken with farty-cramps. :-( #
• Morning Recordings “The Welcome Kinetic” comes out tomorrow, it’s super good! I’ll be posting about it, just fixing up the links & jpgs now. #
• Is it “hoodie” or “hoody”? I keep spelling it hoodie, but now I’m thinking that’s wrong. I feel like 85 years old right now. #

• Finally using the blogroll feature in WP, to display my “other stuff” links. Looks exactly the same, but it’ll be easier for me to maintain. #
• Music reviewers *constantly* title their articles with bad jokes based on my name. Check it out. edithfrost.com/tag/bad_titles/ #
• waiting for Wil at the bart. I made a plugins list on my about page… edithfrost.com/about #
• I’m excited to be one of the cool kids Harper invited to his illList. If it were anybody else I’d say no f’n way! But this’ll be nerdy fun. #

• Oh dear, my rss feed is saying I’m posting everything on December 31 1969. WTF? #
• Thinking I can’t use TwitterTools, at least not to pull in RSS and create new posts automatically. Seems to be screwing up dates and GUIDs. #
• Search and Replace in WordPress MySQL Database (via Lorelle on WordPress)
• I got my Circa notebook and I love it! I noticed a broken tooth on the inner plastic cover thingy; they’re graciously sending me a new one. #
• I’m done moving into my note-bwallet! Amanda (@swatymyers) would understand the satisfaction. I’ll be using this every day, all the time. #
• 

• WordPress bugs out if you have a category with the same name as a tag. Just thought you’d like to know. #
• Coffee’s on at Jodie’s
• I’m fighting another cold. We went to Jodie’s today though; that’s always good for you! I took a picture of the coffeemaker for some reason. #
• It’s spaghetti and meatballs weather #
• Listening to the new Morning Recordings… I sang on 3 songs, and lead on one? Really? I thought I was only on the one, doing backups! Psych #

• The banner-dragging airplanes are back. WaMu will never get my business, not that they’d want it. #
• Think I’ve finally got a more or less sensible format for my blog-blatherings. RSS people, I am sooo sorry. Please bear with me! Or not. #
• Dang, I gotta stop listing my tags on my index page if I’m going to use fifty bazillion of ‘em! Just moving around the ugly, but still. #
• My little sister Lilly (@queenlil09) says they opened a Panera in SAN ANTONIO. WTF? They don’t need that soup, WE need that soup! #

• p.s. It’s the hoodie. #
• Jodi is so sleepy
• Blue Angels: They’re Here (via SFist)

• Another CC-licensed photo of mine used without permission, with no linkback this time. Starting to think maybe CC isn’t for me after all. #
• The fine print: You can change/revoke a CC license anytime, BUT all previous downloads keep their original licenses. That seems reasonable. #
• I just uploaded my 1000th photo to Flickr! #
• My pics from the Du Nord last night came out horrible. I gotta get those camera settings back to where they were before I fuckered ‘em up. #
• There are FOUR airplanes dragging ad banners over Albany right now. I HATE THEM. #
• Twitter, the new design is nice enough but are you getting the message that people aren’t liking the fonts? They aren’t liking the fonts. #
