Thursday morning ramble…
Such a great show last night! The crowd was really intimate, but there was a lot of love and laughter that managed to fill the room. Thank you so much to those who came out and spent their Wednesday night with me.
Here’s the set:
Count the Shadows Subterranean Mistake Gimme More Radar Toxic Baby One More Time Little Bit of Blue Ghosts Coming Around Has Been encore: Over My HeadThis is the first time I played a set of songs in the same order as they appear on the record. I usually devise a different set for each show to make each its own experience… so this was an experiment. It was cool and fun, but by the 4th Britney song, I could hardly hold it together because I was laughing so much with the crowd. I think it was one Britney song too many. Or maybe it was the whiskey. Either was it was fun.
Josh snuck a little video footage on his tiny camera and if anything turns out halfway decent I will post it in the next few days.
In the meantime, if you haven’t checked out our doofy video for ‘Gimme More,’ now is the time!
I have no money for promotion and must make the most of the resources that I have at my disposal. So, Liz and Josh and I went out on the town and tried to tell a story with a whole slew of pictures. The arc of our night was nicely documented and I think the clip turned out pretty well considering the fact that we have no idea what we’re doing
While it’s clearly an evening of debauchery, the energy of the clip is positive and fun and doesn’t have any of the darkness Britney’s video has.
Next up is a proper video for ‘Ghosts’ off of ‘Never Was.’ More on that in a few weeks.
Have a beautiful day, friends!
xo,

I definitely think the Gimme More video tells a story. Not sure exactly what it is, but it’s a good one!

I am kinda digging the slideshow/stop motion feel to the Gimme More video.
Glad you had a great show – nice to get it fined tuned so it is perfection by the time I see it!

I liked that video- it told the story of the song in a fun, tongue-in-cheek way. But your articulation of the lyrics also hinted at the genuine sadness in the song, too. It was an interesting juxtaposition.

Happy to hear that you had such a successful show. I hate to have missed it.
Very original take on Britney’s Gimme More.
I really enjoyed it!
