There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” - Dr. Seuss<br /><br />What a fantastic reminder! It seems as though we forget how unique and special we are. It's so easy to get caught up in comparisons and complaints...I wish I were more this way...or...If only I was...But the amazing thing is, is that we are all here for a reason. We all have a gift to share. The journey is figuring out what that gift is...and once you do - WOW. The sky's the limit on what you can do!Annie Montonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894970545635570390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553834618760314550.post-6254620792152635302010-12-29T19:20:00.000-08:002010-12-29T20:10:57.204-08:00In Honor of Teena Marie - Miss Lady T<object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JeVWiPYBDag?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JeVWiPYBDag?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Like many around the world, Teena Marie was an inspiration to me. I was so saddened to hear of her sudden death at just 54 years old. I remember when I first was introduced to her music by a close friend...and from my first listen of "Square Biz," I was hooked.<br /><br />Outside of her amazing vocal range and singing ability, she was an accomplished guitar player, songwriter and producer. She inspired me to sing, to write and try new things with music.<br /><br />I tried to see her in concert almost every time she came to the Los Angeles area...and in the beginning, she would always be on tour with her mentor, Rick James. I have so many great memories of them on stage together -- and of course, their famous duet -- "Fire and Desire." How I LOVE to sing that one!!!<br /><br />I saw their last concert together, before Rick James passed away...and her live shows after his death always felt a bit empty without him there. She kept a place for him on stage always.<br /><br />There was something so much fun about seeing her in concert -- the "grown and sexy" atmosphere, the crowd always singing along to every song she sang...She will be missed.<br /><br />In honor of her life, her legacy and all she inspired, I recorded an acapella version of her beautiful song "Portuguese Love." I hope you enjoy it!!!<br /><br />So you know, this is the first of many songs in my "ANNIEOKE" series.....Stay tuned!!<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie"><br /></a><a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">From Wikipedia: </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Teena Marie</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> (born Mary Christine Brockert, March 5, 1956; died December 26, 2010), was an </span></a><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie" title="United States">American</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></a><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie" title="Singer" class="mw-redirect">singer</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">, </span></a><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie" title="Songwriter">songwriter</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> and </span></a><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie" title="Record producer">producer</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.

But personally, we prefer Shanghai as a verb. Back in the day of saloons and scurvy, ship captains used to drug / kidnap their sailing crew. When there was a shortage of seamen, any able-bodied fellow who wandered into the wrong saloon, or drank with the wrong companion, could wake up with a mysterious hangover onboard a ship headed to the Far East...stuck on the high seas for the next 7-10 months. The practice was known as "Shanghaiing” <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghaiing" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ <wbr>Shanghaiing</a><br /><br />Fast forward to 2009: Just when the CMJ marathon has lower Manhattan in a death grip, MeanRed and friends are sneaking off to Chinatown, celebrating the best underground sounds in a dim sum restaurant under the Manhattan Bridge. We're kidnapping the music you thought you knew, kidnapping the expectations you may have had, and bringing the whole thing with us on a voyage to the place where East meets Best.<br /><br />Join us for a three day MeanRed marathon at 88 Palace -- good music, gold dragons, red wallpaper, pretty people, pork buns. We are passing dim sum dishes throughout the night, serving up drink specials when you need it most, and putting on the best and brightest of NYC.<br /><br /><br /><u>WEDNESDAY, October 21st<br /></u><i>Fool's Gold Showcase:</i>: Vega (Live), Donnis (Live), Treasure Fingers, The Suzan (Live), Kingdom, Trackademicks (Live), Sammy Bananas, Hosted by A-Trak + Nick Catchdubs.<br />$10 with RSVP<br /><br /><u>THURSDAY, October 22nd<br /></u><i>Noise Problem Showcase: </i>Designer Drugs, French Horn Rebellion, The Smith Westerns, X-Wife, NROTB, Codebreaker, Lauren Flax, Kap10Kurt & Very Special Guest!!

Good idea? Yes! Last night was so much fun at <a href="http://www.verdugobar.com/">Verdugo Bar</a>. I actually had never been there before - even though I lived in Eagle Rock for many years....a long time ago...but perhaps the bar wasn't even there when I was living out East...East being off the 2 FWY. It's a cute space with bartenders who care - can you believe it! They have a huge beer menu and, let's say you order a bottle and step away for a moment...they'll put that bottle back in the fridge for you - because really, who wants a warm beer! Not me!<br /><br />The whole reason for me being at said fantastic bar was because I was asked by my buddies, El Dopa and Ted Loc, to play some music. They throw a monthly party called <a href="http://musicmakesthedifference.com/">Music Makes The Difference</a> and since I love to select tunes and share with the people...of course I said OK! I already host a party each month, so fortunately I had my tunes all ready to go and I was comfortable with what I wanted to play. I'm not necessarily the kind of DJ who maps out the exact songs - I'm more of a "let's see what's moving me in the moment" kind of selector. And of course, I always try to incorporate my original work into the mix. He he he... El Dopa let me know that they never had a live vocalist at MMTD before, so I was very glad to break that seal. I think the most fun is mixing in one of my own tunes, singing it live and people not realizing it's me singing! I'm a trickster! <br /><br />Also at the party last night were artists <a href="http://christinamfelice.com/">Christina M Felice</a> and <a href="http://francispoland.com/">Francis Poland</a>, sharing their work on the flat screens. <a href="http://kallusive.com">Deejay Analog</a> also played a killer set after mine! I just love when people join together in a creative space and set the vibe for what always turns into a lovely evening.<br /><br />Here are some pics from last night...Hope you enjoy them! Next time I'll figure out how to record my set and then post it up. OF course, you can always find me at the Purple Lounge every last Wednesday of the month for Compact Disco!
