Thanks to everyone who came out to the Martha Stewart Holiday Craft Sale. I think I’m going to start an etsy store soon. In the meantime if you want to order a tie please email me at jeanonjean {at} gmail.com.

Fall is the best

Recording

Jean on Jean spent this last weekend recording our new 7″ single for Fox Hollow Records. We recorded at Freedom School Recording Studio with Mike and Craig. It was totally fun. We didn’t do any drum looping or a million over dubs like I’m used to and I’m so happy with how it came out. It sounds like a moment in time. There was no heat- so it was really really cold the first day. But on the second day I wore my parka.

The Super Reverb Amp sounded sweet when it was miked in the bathtub.

Here is Hunchback Craig living up to his name.

And here is Mike inspecting the Fox Hollow Las Palabras single.

I can’t wait til I have the Jean on Jean single in my hands… It should be here in a couple of months!

October Show plus a Pie Survey!

Next sunday October 11th I’m going to be playing another  show and pie extravaganza at Bruar Falls. There won’t be any BBQ this time cause it might be cold… so come hungry for sweets.

The show is with my old friend Sebastian Blanck and a some possible new friends, a band called The New Feelings who sound rad. I’m going to be making fall pies- pumpkin and apple will be represented… What else would you like? Please answer my poll to help me figure out what else to make…

I like this song

I was listening to my friend Hatch’s radio show on WFMU and he played this Emitt Rhodes song. I had forgotten how good this record was.

I’m Playing this Thursday

September 24th At Union Hall in Park Slope. It should be fun. It’s a nice place and I’m playing 3 new songs- well 2 kind  of new ones and 1 brand new one…

Pretty Card

This is a super cool card I got from my friend Justine for my birthday. You can see more of her cards here. It’s made from vintage wall paper and I have it up on my bulletin board so I can see the little Renaissance Troubadour Monkey every day.

This was so delicious…

Thanks Nicole!
