Star light, star bright, star fish

Me so sleepy...

I wish I may, I wish I might, find a way to sleep tonight.

Anyhoo, Lisa Germano is a longtime favorite of mine. And her song "Starfish" popped into my head this morning so that's what you're getting. =o) In the 80s Germano was noted as John Mellencamp's violinist (sidenote: Mellencamp was recently elected into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame). She's doing a bit more than that now however and has released seven full length albums since 1994 and 2 EPs. Her tracks have also made it onto several compilations and soundtracks.

She is one of six children and her parents encouraged all of them to learn an instrument at an early age. Go rents! When she was merely seven years old she wrote her first piece of original music; a 15-minute opera on the piano. Whoa! It's obvious the girl has music on the brain and things only improved as she refined her skills.

When you listen to "Starfish" you can virtually imagine yourself on a summer day, walking through a hazy meadow in the wee morning hours. It is as if her voice can momentarily stop time.

Listen:
Lisa Germano - "Starfish" (mp3)
Lisa Germano - "Too Much Space" (mp3)

BUY HER MUSIC!

It is Friday the 13th!

Let's have a little fun, shall we? Some of you might be superstitious and some of you might not give a hoot.

All I know is that I tend to have AMAZING luck on Friday the 13th. So much so that I would even consider 13 my lucky number.

With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to link some fun "13-esque" type music...spooky titles don't necessarily mean silly, Halloween spoof music, right? right. You would probably be surprised at how many songs have the word "ghost" in the title...or "haunted," it shocks me every time I do a search in my iTunes library. (Currently, a search for the word "ghosts" brings back 24 songs).

So here is to Friday the 13th! (Minus ice hockey mask faced actors)

Listen:
Apartment - "Ghost Of An Unforgivable Past" (mp3)
Lisa Germano - "Except For The Ghosts" (mp3)
