Music reviews, fascinating trivia, opinionated commentary. Why does Dylan’s commercial affect my car-buying beliefs? Testament to the power of musical connections indeed. I’m a die-hard Nissan fan, and fairly dismissive of American cars (too many Pintos and Vegas in my past.). And yet, after watching Dylan’s Chrysler commercial last night, I feel an overwhelming desire to buy a Chrysler product. The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine is toying with my head, and it’s all because of music. Leave a comment o...

mixtapes + meltdowns: New Song: The End of Things

http://mixtapesandmeltdowns.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-song-end-of-things.html

New Song: The End of Things. THE END OF THINGS. I've spent my life waiting for a crystal ball. To know if it's safe for me to fall. But I wonder sometimes. If I would be as brave. If I could see the end of things. We go to the forest for the trees. We go to the coastline for the sea. Posted by mixtapes meltdowns. Mixtapes and Meltdowns is the musical experimentation of 27-year-old Laurie Stark. At age 25, Laurie quit law school and left New York for a rambling lakeside house in the Midwest.

mixtapes + meltdowns: February Album Writing Month: 4 New Songs!

http://mixtapesandmeltdowns.blogspot.com/2011/02/february-album-writing-month-4-new.html

February Album Writing Month: 4 New Songs! I'm doing February Album Writing Month. Again this year. I've written six songs so far this month, four with videos. It's not too late to join in. The way your laugh. Always stands out in a crowd,. The way you always say my name,. So quiet yet so loud,. I wish these little things. Could be enough for love. We both know the way it goes,. This kind of thing,. A flash so bright and then the night,. I wish I had a way to keep the light on. If I was a different girl,.

mixtapes + meltdowns: July 2011

http://mixtapesandmeltdowns.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

New Songlets for Spring. I wrote these songs back in February, March, and June, but I forgot to post them! There's a window in my room,. And it lets the sun right in. There's a window in my room,. And the sun shines in,. When we wake up,. When we wake up,. It's a long road. With the light out on the dash. It's a long road. And the cars they go by so fast. If you go,. Will I wake up with the sun? If you go,. Will I walk or will I run? If your tree in the forest falls,. You can call on me,.

mixtapes + meltdowns: February 2010

http://mixtapesandmeltdowns.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

As Long as It's Me. Wrote a song this week. I recorded backing vocals, but the lyrics and guitar are all him. Here's our little duet:. We wear out slow like an old magazine. Like the jeans on a cowboy. Like a dog to his dream. Twisted as shiva in sheets, you and I. With our voices the same. If we laugh or we cry. I can make you happier than strippers and clowns. Ain't nobody love you like I love you right now. Come to bed with your stockings down. I can make you happier than strippers and clowns. Run whi...

mixtapes + meltdowns: November 2010

http://mixtapesandmeltdowns.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

I haven't had a night at home in almost two months. I've been going and going and, like the Energizer bunny, eventually my batteries ran out. Thursday afternoon, I went home from work with a cold. For the next four days, I watched back-to-back episodes of Law and Order. And I did not take a shower. Today is Monday and I need a hair cut. In addition to watching more Law and Order. Than anyone ever should in one sitting, I finally buckled down and taught myself the ukulele. Posted by mixtapes meltdowns.

There's a wrong and a right side to everything. But she didn't warn me. That the right side of love would get lonely. So who can blame me.

Makes No Difference from Evin Wolverton’s Woodland Sessions

http://knowyourmusic.com/makes-no-difference

Music reviews, fascinating trivia, opinionated commentary. Makes No Difference from Evin Wolverton’s Woodland Sessions. Ome years ago I almost met Evin Wolverton. We both participated in FAWM. More than once, and when I heard he’d moved to the San Francisco area, I invited him to perform at the Northern California Artistic Achievement Awards (The Grassies.) Evin was too sick to make it, and we asked Philip Flathead. Except, I did get something. Pretty much won the lottery. Singing harmonies I’ve on...
