09:14:28 PM Artboy:How has your music evolved?
09:14:34 PM EDITH FROST:plus a little stuff on other folks' records etc.
09:15:00 PM EDITH FROST:How has it evolved? I don't know! Depends on who I'm working with at whatever point in time
09:15:06 PM EDITH FROST:(that makes no sense)
09:15:14 PM egroeg:So when you record a song with who ever your with. Do you tell them what to play or is it a give and take thing?

09:21:13 PM EDITH FROST:I am stuck on the new Danielle Howle record, "Catalog"
09:21:27 PM EDITH FROST:I keep listening to that over & over
09:21:35 PM egroeg:Smog for me

09:23:20 PM verlaine:i saw oninsound that they are putting out a danielson/soul junk split ep. sounds dangerous!
09:23:21 PM Artboy:And the focus... or "space" of the new album might be...
09:23:56 PM EDITH FROST:I have no idea Artboy. I think it might be more acoustic-sounding than Telescopic
09:24:18 PM EDITH FROST:I want to emulate Danielle Howle maybe? she rocks my world

10:08:54 PM michelektel:playing your own songs?
10:09:08 PM EDITH FROST:well, I had been writing & recording them for a long time...
10:09:10 PM zaltru:I moved back here to Austin about a year ago after another bout in NYC.
10:09:18 PM EDITH FROST:...and it just seemed like the right thing to do

10:12:26 PM EDITH FROST:I'm in Chicago for the rest of the summer at least.
10:12:30 PM jtakagi:Edith, where do you like playing live the best?
10:12:45 PM lfw:hey, have you ever run into Oprah? Think she's ever heard your music?
10:13:10 PM EDITH FROST:Chicago is great, as is New York, audience-wise... there are a lot of great clubs & places all over
10:13:27 PM EDITH FROST:I doubt Oprah has ever heard of me. hahaha!
10:13:43 PM jtakagi:I saw your show in Hoboken, it was great. I missed the ones at Acme though...too bad
10:14:02 PM michelektel:You need to return to San Francisco!
10:14:04 PM EDITH FROST:Acme was a great show but Hoboken was good too
10:14:18 PM EDITH FROST:Oh yeah!! I will play SF again ASAP.

10:15:03 PM EDITH FROST:I don't like playing in just one place here
10:15:07 PM EDITH FROST:whoops!
10:15:27 PM lfw:you getting down to texas ever - say for the holidays?
10:15:34 PM EDITH FROST:I guess Empty Bottle is my favorite because it's also my favorite place to hang out when I'm not playing
10:15:53 PM EDITH FROST:I might be going home to TX for the holidays but I'm not sure yet.
10:16:07 PM Fitz:So that's where you can be found a lot?
10:16:19 PM EDITH FROST:my family is pretty scattered around so it's difficult getting together with everyone during the holidays
10:16:22 PM jtakagi:What are you doing for new year's?
10:16:37 PM EDITH FROST:I have no idea!!
10:16:50 PM EDITH FROST:Maybe stand on the beach?
10:17:03 PM michelektel:Chicago beach?
10:17:04 PM EDITH FROST:see if the skyline blacks out?
10:17:07 PM lfw:do you think of it as the millenium, or are you a purist?
10:17:13 PM EDITH FROST:yeah, that's probably where I'll be, in Chicago
10:17:23 PM EDITH FROST:I am no purist
10:17:44 PM Fitz:And you mean that in the purest sense.
10:18:06 PM EDITH FROST:I'm not scared of Y2K
10:18:18 PM EDITH FROST:long as my guitar still works I'll be happy
10:18:21 PM EDITH FROST:heheh
10:18:41 PM jtakagi:what scares you?
10:18:59 PM EDITH FROST:wow!! bad dreams I guess. and money, money scares me.
10:19:12 PM lfw:having it or lacking it?
10:19:19 PM Fitz:Good thing you're a musician then.
10:19:22 PM EDITH FROST:lacking it of course!!
10:19:46 PM EDITH FROST:yeah, it's not exactly the most lucrative career choice I admit
10:20:09 PM EDITH FROST:but I get by, more or less
10:20:19 PM lfw:do you ever miss working in advertising?
10:20:25 PM EDITH FROST:NO way!!
10:20:32 PM EDITH FROST:that was the most stressful job I ever had
10:20:45 PM EDITH FROST:I learned a lot though.
10:20:45 PM jtakagi:wasn't it weird putting your diary on your website?
10:20:57 PM EDITH FROST:yeah, the diary was weird but very cool too. I miss it.
10:21:12 PM EDITH FROST:I thought it was the best part of my website
10:21:20 PM jtakagi:will it ever come back?
10:21:24 PM EDITH FROST:but it got a little outta control, Ihad to quit.
10:21:35 PM EDITH FROST:oh I don't know. maybe in some form but not the way it was.
10:21:40 PM lfw:I felt more in touch with you when you had it. do miss the contact, though one way
10:21:40 PM jtakagi:it sure takes courage
10:21:57 PM zaltru:it's a thin line
10:22:24 PM EDITH FROST:it was very liberating to do that, but caused repercussions in my personal life
10:22:27 PM zaltru:between public and private
10:22:35 PM EDITH FROST:i.e. my friends knew that I was going to write about them, so it changed things
10:22:38 PM zaltru:oh, do tell!
10:22:48 PM zaltru:oh, pooh
10:23:01 PM zaltru:put in in the music
10:23:04 PM EDITH FROST:I don't think everybody always wants to know the real truth, that's all

10:27:45 PM EDITH FROST:I have it pretty good here. Need a new apartment though.
10:27:57 PM lfw:Will you ever record songs in Spanish (ala Ricky Martin) since you speak it?
10:28:03 PM EDITH FROST:That will be my fourth or fifth apartment in three years!
10:28:15 PM EDITH FROST:I have recorded some demos in Spanish, there's one on my website.
10:28:30 PM lfw:Do you feel as comfortable singing in another language?
10:28:38 PM EDITH FROST:but I don't feature the idea of re-recording any of my songs in Spanish! The ones I recorded were cover tunes.
10:28:56 PM EDITH FROST:Only if it's a language I can actually speak.
10:29:21 PM michelektel:a slow acoustic version of "Livin' La Vida Loca?"?

10:29:51 PM EDITH FROST:hahaha
10:29:56 PM michelektel:You'd have to change some of the lyrics though.
10:30:20 PM EDITH FROST:Weird Al sings "Edith... Edith... open up your mouth and feed it..."
10:30:26 PM lfw:how do you find time to write with all your traveling?
10:30:26 PM EDITH FROST:god.
10:30:27 PM zaltru:LOL
10:30:40 PM EDITH FROST:I don't find time to write when touring, that's a problem.
10:30:50 PM EDITH FROST:It's bad enough at home!
10:31:10 PM EDITH FROST:I have to be by myself to work on music and that's hard to do while touring
10:31:13 PM EDITH FROST:also I'm lazy.
10:31:24 PM zaltru:inspiracion!
10:31:25 PM EDITH FROST:so I don't write stuff down when I think of it, unfortunately
10:31:41 PM EDITH FROST:I am the laziest songwriter ever.
10:31:43 PM michelektel:no litte slips of paper sticking out of all your pockets?
10:31:44 PM jtakagi:what's your favorite song (that you've written)?

10:35:14 PM EDITH FROST:Ummm... I don't watch enough movies.
10:35:20 PM michelektel:Babe, Pig in the City? That reminded me of City of Lost Children.

10:40:55 PM EDITH FROST:...I tried to give him my camera so he'd take a picture of me playing with Willard Grant!
10:40:59 PM EDITH FROST:how dumb is that.
10:41:04 PM lfw:LOL
10:41:05 PM zaltru:that's great!
