What's on your mind? Jacoby Ellsbury and the Quest for the All-Star Game!

[Raven_the_Bird]

Hannah’s most recent release is Through the Gash (2007), an album that has been called “a masterwork in minimalism and stark beauty” (Absolute Punk) and “seductive and breathtaking from the start” (Gothic Beauty). Hannah writes, produces, engineers, and performs everything on her CDs. And, contrary to popular opinion, she uses no sequencing whatsoever. With the exception of drum tracks, all of the instruments and vocals are recorded and layered in real time, not looped or electronically generated or duplicated. Even the drum tracks, which are programmed using a drum machine, are painstakingly hand-altered, with some beats being dropped and others reversed in entirely specific ways.


Never thought of looking her up on AP.net...

Hannah is known for her intensely layered production and complex vocal arrangements. Her vocals, which have been likened to “wraiths filling the screen of a Tim Burton film” (High Bias), often move from clearly sung phrases and high, tremulous keening to whispered and spoken words, to vicious hisses and screams — sometimes within the confines of a single song. The subjects and lyrics in Hannah’s songs have a tendency to be obscure and metaphorical, often causing listeners to mistake her work for being fictional. In fact, Hannah classifies her music as entirely autobiographical, although not overtly so, and insists that it is actually magical realism, not fantasy, and definitely not theater. Hannah has said that she uses music to transform troubling feelings and experiences into something positive and hopeful, and that writing has served as a mechanism to work through and mend things in her life. It may take careful listening to hear all the various layers of sound and meaning, but devout listeners consistently claim that it is worth the trouble.

Hannah loves flowers, rap music and snow days, and is often distracted by bright and/or shiny objects and the perceived scarcity of cotton candy, but she says that the only thing that actually inspires her to create music is love.

Random way to end that...

The broadening of my character's horizon's was reblogging a Mike Posner song and two people making out. YUP.

My Name Is Not Durwood: Every minor character seems to be completely incapable of pronouncing Mike Nesmith's last name. Among the variants: Nishwash, Nashmirth, Nipmop... Subverted in "The Monkees in Texas", when the villians refer to Mike and his aunt as "Nesters"...he starts to correct them before his aunt explains that the word means "farmer" and that they were correct in their word choice.

How is Davy the only sane one left? ...Actually, that kind of makes sense.

"Listening to Hannah Fury is like trying to describe winter or Edward Scissorhands."

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

"Though listening to Hannah Fury is a cerebral and painful experience, it is also rewarding."

I love the way Davy says, "You must be joking."

I've got it! A brilliant idea!

What is it?

That's what we need, a brilliant idea.

Well where can we find one?

I've got it! I'm going to talk to the writers.

[Clearly, there's no such thing as a fourth wall in this show. Just the way I like it.]
