opera in the subway

tuesday night i was treated to an impromptu opera performance in the "place des arts" metro station (subway, for all you non-montrealers). an older woman was almost the only person on the opposite platform and had several hundred people as her captive audience. she was a little bit loony in the loveliest of ways and this is what she sang - check out the fellow subway rider who responds in song:



it was a priceless moment and i hope to use the sample in a future recording... so listen for it!

as promised, here's my semi-weekly update of where things are for the present recording:

• shine is now mixed and sounds great!!


• first mix of told you is done, just needs a bit of tweaking


• lovesong mix will be started monday


• hum remixes and album artwork are almost done

so things are moving right along, thanks to josé aguirre, who is doing the mixes, and to la hacienda creative, where we are doing the mixes.

also, big huge thanks to everyone who became facebook fans this last week! your support means the world to me!
