M.I.A, Canyon drives, Mermaids, Piano doodles and covers


Lately, i have almost gone into complete trances while driving and listening to M.I.A.  this is bad, i know. This photograph is of my best friend jessica and i at the very top of Topanga Canyon (favorite place on earth*) after a day at the beach, where we witnessed a very indiscreet couple on the sand.  
   Last night i sat down at the baby grand and tried to think of somethings to write from the ol noodle, but nothing.  I am really inspired and influenced by A Fine Frenzy right now.  the music is haunting, honest, ethereal, whimsical, and original.  Props to A Fine Frenzy.  
Since i am having inspiration blockage, i have been working on covers, which are all really different but fun to blast out of my mouth when no one is home.  i really need some better recording equipment and a legit microphone.  basically, garageband blows*
So, if anyone has noticed the mermaids...the album i am working on is called mermaid songs...or probably something along those lines.  
peace, 
Emily
