2 Corinthians 4:16-17, "...we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (NIV)


i had felt doomed= like the ground was opening up and swallowing me whole!
turns out i am just overly dramatic and sometimes forget that the bumps are meant to teach me things and scars will remind me when nothing else does. there is never an ending, only new beginnings. God wants something else for me, there is a grand plan. though i am not privy to the plan, i trust and rely on God to know better than i do what my heart desires and what is best for me.

here's to not having a drummer! and great things that happen when two in a room create walls of sound...

today i am in love with...

i have a bad habit of forgetting to blog...that might be a good habit, i dunno. except i get on her and check to see what your blog says and what new great music you are finding to listen to and then i go check it all out and forget to tell you what i love...
i am selfish, what can i say?

i am so in love with besnard lakes....

this is a video matt and i did on my macbook with the camera on it because we don't own a video camera. we tried just straight recording, but the sound sucked, so we plugged in thru the 4 track into the imovie and it sounds pretty good. we are so experimenting with ways to record right now. we have been getting better sound quality and are learning from our mistakes. one mistake we can't seem to learn from is that our drummer is probably not our drummer. every time i start thinking of him as a friend and our drummer, he goes awol on us for weeks at a time. after almost 5 weeks and not hearing from him, i don't know what to think about him anymore. all i can do is pray for him that whatever is going on with him is a good thing for him even if it is a bad thing for us...

in the meantime, i have been playing some mad tambourine and hoping for the best! and today i am pulling out a snare and matt has a 5 gallon bucket, we will just play on and make percussion however we can and when needed.

king of the delta blues

we just finished a new song...i posted it late last night on myspace. it feels spectacular to know Matt & I can record a song, do a rough mix, plug it into my macbook ,mix it and post it! pretty sweet! I mean, we are finally getting good sounds out of our 4 track, after much practice, finally progress. in the rest of my head sits the idea for the pictures and a video...and what Lurancy might do next! also, possibilties...for shows and collaborations. for recording new songs. for combining visual art with audio art!

it's been awhile...


i realized i haven't written here in awhile and today, i was looking to see if Poms had put up any new vids from SXSW. I got 2 texts in 2 days- one about Cymbals Eat Guitars with a pic and the other about a band featuring J. Mascis (my hero) and Thurston Moore (married to my heroine)...
I got a new bass, her name is Lydia, oh Lydia. She is an Epiphone Viola, a Hofner copy. and she is a beauty! she sounds so good! so GREAT, really! learning to play, learning where notes are, what is what, how to not get shocked by pushing the "polarity" button before I attempt to sing n play. That was a shocking lesson! ha
