Sssshhhh…

Tuesday March 14, 2006 – 3:50 pm

Hello, how are y’all?  Feels like I just posted that show-cancellation notice yesterday, I guess I just slept through that whole time since then.  And whoo-hoo, I’m almost caught up with my backlogged All My Children’s!  Yep.  Productivity.  But yeah, I’ve been a good girl, I’ve stayed very very quiet since the weekend and only left the house a few times (very quietly).  I don’t want to test it out too much but the voice seems a bit better, squeakin’ out about four or five more notes that I had this weekend, so that’s good.  I’ve never gotten too scientific about it but I’m pretty sure my normal range is about 2 good octaves… I’m up to about 1-1/2 octaves now I think (squeaking at least), which isn’t bad considering I sounded like frickin’ Harvey Fierstein one week ago.

43 Things

Sunday April 3, 2005 – 10:54 pm

I just joined 43 Things, a website that’ll help me keep track of my goals and share them with others, kind of like I’m doing on Flickr with my photos.  I think anybody who knows me at all would agree that I’m one of the least motivated, least goal-oriented people on earth.  It’s something I really ought to work on, so if this is something that could possibly help, I should try it, right?  My first goal is quite modest: "Try out 43 Things", which is a goal that 1093 other people currently share with me.  Hopefully I’ll reach that goal soon, add 43 more and reach those as well, and so on.

Boston Weekly Week interview

Wednesday November 4, 1998 – 5:00 pm

An interview by Karyn Coughlin that appeared in the November 5-19, 1998 issue of The Weekly Week (Boston, MA)…

The Big Interview: Edith Frost

You have to like a singer who lists both good and bad reviews of her own music on her self-designed web site (at http://edithfrost.com/).  At least I have to, anyway; It’s very charming, after all.  Singer/songwriter Edith Frost is one of the several left-of-center acts on Chicago’s ueber-label Drag City Records.  I first encountered her in the pages of "Puncture" magazine while visiting my parents over Thanksgiving weekend last year.  Trapped as I was in rural (read: out-of-touch and boring) America, I had to wait until I was home in Boston before I could track down her debut, full-length release, Calling Over Time.  I was quickly won over to her melancholy, Twin Peaks-like, country torch singer-ish style.  Almost a year after that introduction Frost has another release: Telescopic.  This time around she’s added some fuzzy psychedelia to her hodge-podge sound and I’m still smitten.  She’ll be at T.T. The Bear’s in Cambridge on Saturday, November 7 with Sam Prekop (of The Sea and Cake and Shrimpboat) and Archer Prewitt (also of The Sea and Cake, as well as super-fun retro before retro was the thing band, The Coctails).

You’re decided

Thursday September 17, 1998 – 3:00 am

Hey, I finished that song today! I like it, I think it came out good, though I can’t be sure until Rian Murphy hears it and tells me he digs it. (Me and my fragile ego.) Took me all day to sew it together and get it demo’ed, I didn’t even leave the house ’til 9:30!! I think it’s called "You’re Decided"… I was gonna call it "Emotion Detector" but I think that’s too corny. I looked up that title in the BMI database and can’t find anything… of course they had lots of listings for the ol’ chestnut "You’re UNdecided". So that’ll be my little nod to that song. I can’t remember how that goes but I’m sure it’s nothing like what I just did.
