Girl Group?

Hey Friends,

I just wanted to share with you the hot jamz Margo Harshman and I wrote last night. You might remember Margo as Tawny on "Even Stevens". She also has several movies coming out, including "Sorority Row"...but that's besides the point. Most importantly, she and I have been friends for years, and have always wanted to write music together. Well, last night it finally happened. We wrote feverishly, and created Garage Band magic. Afterwards, we giggled like giddy little girls at our finished product. Hope you enjoy, and I'd love to hear what you think!

"Paragraph"



"Scenester"



In other news, I'm headed to SXSW on Thursday and I couldn't be more excited! I'm looking forward to exploring Austin, TX and experiencing mind-blowing amounts of new music.

Hope all is well in your world,
Lauren

Fun with Mbox

Roughly a week ago, I woke up with this melody in my head, crawled over to my guitar and wrote. Ashton Likes the song so much, he's using it as a transitional track on his record. (I really enjoy making sentences out of his name, as do most of his friends.)

After a lovely going away dinner at my parent's house, we decided to play with my new computer and old Mbox. We rigged the microphone in the loft, and the fun began. My friend John John played guitar, I sang, and Ashton hit record. Here it is.....

Spring Awakening

Is it me, or is the weather beautiful today?

Mostly Cloudy 34°F
Feels Like
25°F

(More like 34, feels like 76.)

I've gotten so used to the frigid cold, that I can't tell if it's actually warm or my brain is playing tricks on me. Can a person bring on the spring by shear will power alone? I can hear the whispers of sunshine approaching. What a day it will be when I can step outside and walk the streets of Chicago without a coat! It's been so long!

Tomorrow night is the "4 Women Only" finale show. To tell you the truth, I'm a little sad that it's ending. I feel lucky to have met such gifted ladies, and I'm grateful that Kat brought us all together. It's really a unique experience - I mean, you put four females in a room like that, you'd think you could cut the estrogen with a knife. Not the case. Every musician has something different to offer, and there is such a sense of comradery. I hope this series is just the beginning of our musical endeavours together.

I'll be adding photos soon. Then you can be formally introduced to my new friends.

As for tonight, I'll be back in the studio with Ashton Likes. He asked me to lay down some harmonies and such. His record is coming along quite nicely.

Now, go play outside!

Lauren
