Hungry Lucy http://blog.hungrylucy.com read, hear and see what Hungry Lucy is up to Thu, 15 May 2008 21:42:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 en Mowing Down Some Grass http://blog.hungrylucy.com/2008/05/15/mowing-down-some-grass/ http://blog.hungrylucy.com/2008/05/15/mowing-down-some-grass/#comments Thu, 15 May 2008 21:42:52 +0000 War-N http://blog.hungrylucy.com/?p=580 SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Mowing Down Some Grass", url: "http://blog.hungrylucy.com/2008/05/15/mowing-down-some-grass/" });]]> Human nature, at least many people’s, is to always suspect that the grass is greener on the other side. We take the parts of our lives that we don’t like and focus on how great life would be if the exact opposite were true. The trouble with that bad habit, is that it never goes away. Life is a compromise. No matter what possessions you have, what job you have or what relationships you have… there will always be a downside. There is a fine line between striving for better and never being happy. It’s easy to recognize what is wrong in our lives, but not always so easy to recognize the wonderful experiences and people in our lives. Find what makes you happy in your life and totally dwell on it… go on… just roll around in it! Take all that energy you spend wishing for something more, and bask in everything great you have going on right now.

It’s working for me… right now… and I aim to keep it that way.

Signed, one moody bastid ;)

No podcast this week, but we’ll be back next week with another live performance and our usual brand of silliness.

We just (moments ago) recorded a nice chat with our new friend in Israel, Guy David. Look for our conversation an upcoming episode of the Night Guy podcasts.

Thanks Guy, it was great to chat with you!

You may view said video at this link. In their travels of the week, vinyl is rediscovered in a glorious way and new OPM’s are found! CB’s new (but old) finding was Demis Roussos. A lovely large fella with a sweet voice, who (we are happy to learn) is still going strong. War-N’s OPM’s this week are Coldplay and their new free release “Violet Hill” and Clara Rockmore. Clara was THE theremin player of all theremin players! See for yourself down below.

Many other fine tidbits are mentioned. You’ll just have to listen for yourself! You can also go see what Christa Belle is thinking and how War-N is twittering.

Until next week, not everyone is Lily Allen!!

Why, or why not?

This version is just electric piano, hammered dulcimer and Christa’s delicious vocals. Rather un-electronic for Hungry Lucy. Before the performance, though Christa goes on a rant about a newly opened local “restaurant” that the pair visited on their Sunday of attempted creativity boosting. War-N and Christa take a personal trip down memory lane and tell us about the apartment from hell in which they used to live. in the “other people’s music” segment, War-N talks about trip-hop pioneer’s Portishead and their very challenging, but rather clever new album “Third“. CB & War-N also talk about MP3 vs. CD vs. vinyl.

Do you still buy vinyl, or is it ancient history?

Any Twitter-folk out there? Why not follow War-N’s ramblings? It’s fun. You can point and laugh.

We get to hear the original noisy piano recording, and the newly arranged music. Christa talks about her bad week, that ends with a nice family time on Saturday. Christa also talks about her preference for listening to music she can sing along with. War-N does the opposite, but did enjoy Christa’s effort in singing along with “Golden Boy” by Severed Heads … frightening!

So, tell us…suggestions for the next live podcast performance?

A mix of emotions this week as Christa and War-N talk about the therapeutic benefits of making music as well as the confidence struggles it can sometimes bring to the surface. For the OPM segment this week, Christa chats about Michael Jackson’s “She’s Out of My Life” that she received via lala.com. War-N talks about the film “August Rush” that he found high on the sap factor, but was still in tears by movie’s end. Christa rounded out the episode with some Veggie Ragu talk which made us all hungry and brought the podcast to a hasty end.

So, tell us…anything you’d like to add, edit or delete from the podcast?
