Finally a Music Video Worth Sharing

For you photoshop geeks out there, I know this is not how the program works, but look at the message! This Hungarian singer has the right idea! It's so predictable now to see videos that all look the same. The glamorous all-done-up American Idol woman with generic vocals and slow motion of her doing something sexy doesn't say anything about the music except that the artist stinks and makes up for it visually. It's so played out that I hardly believe that sex sells anymore (well that's my opinion anyway...) Thank god Bjork is still making videos!

I wished I thought this video concept before Boggie did. Maybe Daimon and I could have had our first Bow & Arrow video like this one. I'd hope to make this more of a social statement than what's portrayed here, but she's onto something. Cheers to this video for having over 2 million views.

It's been an Unforgettable Year

This was the year that I moved twice, graduated from Grad School, was married to my best friend, got a full time job, and moved back to my hometown after 7 years of school.  I evolved from an insecure student teacher to a full time teacher. The band I played with since I was 19 years old, Elevator Art, played it's last show in September and those who have supported Daimon and myself musically continue to show support for our small group, Bow & Arrow. It's been just as much exciting as it was turbulent. Despite the challenges, I know 2014 will be a productive year, making new traditions, music, art, and memories with the people I've wanted to spend more time with.  It's been a wild ride this year but I wouldn't change anything about it. This is my mini 2013 "remember when" blogpost.

The shows we played...

The places I've walked...

Watching the places where I once walked be built again...

Moving, condensing, seriously organizing...

 Wow, now that's a space!

Feeling the most surprised I've ever felt in my life. TWICE

Welcoming a new addition to the family. I'm a first-time aunt!

The excitement and worries of starting a new job and not having to prepare for another semester. Lots of projects completed and many more to come...

The dress my sister wore to prom...

The dress I wore...

And here's something just for you for the New Year! Daimon and I contributed to this recording with Karmic Juggernaut, We Used to Cut the Grass, and Bog Iron Bloom. Enjoy! Click here.  Happy New Year! I hope you have a great one!

So excited to share this new recording

Daimon and I record under the name "Bow and Arrow" and we have a new recording coming your way.  Yesterday was the perfect day to record in Double Trouble State Park, with the infamous Sun Lab Studio, who I featured as a small business last year. Sun Lab Studio is so unique for recording bands and artists in natural environments while they use the energy from the sun to power all the equipment.  I'll share my favorite polaroids when we release the song, but here's some visuals as a teaser.

Our next song is titled, "Somewhere Together".
