BELIEVE! EP! FREE!

Hey guys!

I have recorded a small EP of sorts- 5 songs with just me solo on piano (3 new originals and 2 covers). And the best part is, it's freeeeeeee, available for download at the bottom of this post.

here's what the physical copies i gave out at last night's show looked like-



And speaking of last night, thanks to everyone that came out to the Pig for our superwomen show!! Our Fleetwood Mac collaborative 3-part harmony explosive extravaganza was a definite success and was captured on video by the one and only Mark Arnold (of Paper Frame Productions!) so when that becomes available, I'll promptly put it up on here. Other highlights include an acoustic/male choir-supported "Strike a Chord," and my attempts to breakdance during Laurel's set for which I was rewarded with a big fat shiner on my knee.

Okay enough babbling, here's the CD already. Click on the CD cover art below to get to the website to download it. Did I mention it's free?




Special thanks to Chris Conover, who recorded, mixed, and mastered it!

track listing:

1) The Doormat Song
2) Pilgrims
3) Hemisphere
4) The Maker Makes (Rufus Wainwright)
5) Ex-Girlfriend (No Doubt)

tell a friend!

love,

YYY

Yeah yeah yeahs acoustic additions on the deluxe versions of "It's Blitz!" is bliss. Karen O, i don't care if you're a nut, you can sing like a mother@#$&*^@.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs with acoustic guitars, a grand piano, and STRINGS?!?? It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.



oh, and I could never figure out what the album cover was for the longest time - it's someone cracking an egg with their hand. I thought it was some sort of lightbulb or glass being broken. But it's an egg!

I just got back from New York and any doubts I had about living there before have now been extinguished after this visit. I loved everything about it. I'm gonna be a part of it, NEW YORK, NEW YORK!!!
