Amazing cover kina!!!!
Im actually going to see him tonight at the pullo center!!! I actually gotta leave in 30 mins :D

Yea, my computer never is shut off…Its HARDCORE!!

Such a beautiful cover again, Kina. And glad to hear the album name… though i think my choice “eternal eels” would´ve been a pretty cool name too. And finally a release date! So happy for you! And for us! *smiling*

Oh, and thank you for the mystery person behind my shoutout. Such a sweet thing to do :)

*gasps* The release date! Can’t wait! :)

yay kina! and yay hats. compliments on a perfect album name. very exciting announcements! and your cover… i heard that song the first time and it reminded me of you, thousands of hugs and lightning bugs and all. well done, as always. lots of firefly work to do until 2/23/10, yes? can’t wait.

Congrats! Yay!
In honor of the good news and oovret: Week 70, here are my hastily written Kina-based pickup lines…

Message Received.
Are you looking to spend time with someone?
You’re a girl I gotta digg.
If you let me touch your hand, I promise I won’t call it love.
I believe some stars are falling down.
I’ll stay just a lot.
You remind me of a hummingbird.

(I’m really bad at this.)

i’m so happy that I actually have no words… just smiles.

wow.. wow, kina. it’s been such a great journey and i cannot wait for this. i’m so proud of you.

*dons Yay hat* YAYYYYYY!
Great cover, as always!

It’s so weird that you have so little insight on how much joy you bring to me and the rest of the world… and yet we also cannot fathom how much joy we bring to you… just know that it’s A LOT <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
-Eric

Kina! woohoo! Congrats on the release date! I can only imagine how this made you feel, so exciting, happy and just great! Well, that is how I feel :-)

Now I am more curious about the history of your album name. I do recall you looking for some earlier, which could have led to a song perhaps?

The way things are going I am sad that I will probably miss your January show, but it is still ‘a ways away’ so things may change yet. The future is kinda foggy for me atm. Any word yet on whether it will be livestreamed?

Wow!!! I am so happy for the release date of the new album…it lands on my birthday….couldn’t ask for a better present than that….This will definitely be a birthday to remember :)

horaayy! yay kina :D congrats!
oh I’m so excited for the upcoming show :]
I’m even more excited for the album!
*HIGH FIVE*

Yay! Hat – check.
Album name – check.
Release date – check.
Excitement – check.
Jumping up and down – check.

Video replaying (1000000x) – check… sorta =P

Kina, Kina, Kina…
“i’m so excited & i just can’t hide it.
i’m about to lose control and i think i like it!”
(i hope those are the right lyrics… eek)
hahahaha

today will be a good day.
tomorrow and the days leading up to Feb 23rd will be good days.

Pickup line for Kina, of which I was reminded tonight:
Hold me. I’m a fermata.

Harold’s To-Do list

1. Start planning vacation in February.

2. Save money to buy a butt-load of Kina-merch.

3. Make pick-up lines more memorable.

btw – Everyone needs to check out Monsters of Folk. Really good stuff.

happiness!!! yay hats ftw!

haha these are great :)

birthday buddies!

Now… I KNOW that was meant to be in the voice of Comic Store guy from “The Simpsons”. Don’t try and tell me it ain’t…

;-)

@Kina… O(h)M(y)G(oodness), I’ve been away so long, I’ve got my NOOB back. I forgot how to blog and almost put “Hi” instead of “@”.

Great cover, makes me want to hurry up and get my office in some sort of working order just so’s I can kick back and listen to music. We JUST moved in April; by Feb. I expect it’ll be ready… ;-)

Spam to your mother.

-wwar1ace

Oh… and local Release Party?

Ah! Excitement! Yay!

Yes, but don’t forget about Kinacon in February, Glenn! :D It will be a mad crazy convergence of kinerds!

Cannot suppress that brilliant mind, can you?

Spam received. Thanks :)

CUTE! I lovesss your cover! It’s really awesome when you put your own spin on a very different song. Congrats on your album!! Julie and I will definitely be seeing you at the Troubadour sporting our street team shirts! =]

i am SO THERE, mama gee :)

Im proud to be a kinerd :)

*high fives* :D

We have to figure out an effective pre-show, pre-release mission!!!

Kinaconvergence?!?! ahhhhh!! at Kinacon!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/kinacon

I don’t think I would forget/miss that and I will do my best to be there, but there is one prevailing wind that may shift my sail. I never did like uncertainty, but for the life of me I have so much trouble see past some of the simplest things.

Kina man I would of love to come to the LA concert but I am will be in Alexandra New Zealand. picking Cherries. I will make to one of your concerts. I am planinng on coming to visit the States in the coming year.

aw, Kina, I am so happy for you!

any news on an “East Coasty” CD release party….!? If so, I will be there. Because I have to be!

and February 23rd is ALMOST February 25th…. the day that I met you at the Astor Place Starbucks in NYC, and met your sister Misa, and met some amazing Kinerds, and saw you in concert…. : ) *memories!*

Yey! can’t wait to be on 23 feb 2010!!
Sad that the Troubadour is so far away from France ^^
Anyway, i’m so happy for the release of * Stairwells *<3 (great name btw)
The announcement was epic !! =)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. ahhh! i cant help but smile every time i see this.

i wish i could go to kinacon, well i hope some how i may end up there

but if not,

me and juba (sock monkey one!) will be there in spirit. :)

makes me so proud/happy/privileged to be a kinerd :) <3

snuggle!

hahaha. wow. excellent.

hahaha <3

we’ve missed you so!

say hi to NZ for me! i miss it!

Yes, I agree with Harold. A vacation in February does sound about right :)

I’m-a try to be at the Troubadour show, tho’ I’m not much of a clubber…

:-p

argg i’ve been so busy with school =[ haha what people say about Junior year is true.. ahhh so tired and stressed.. loved it kina!

I’m still hoping “oh the humming horse” will be on this album, can’t wait Kina, very happy it’s all coming along.

oh, and I like the name stairwells :)

That’s *Kinavergence*, friend

: The semi-spontaneous accumulation of kinerd mass centralized around a point-anomaly of pressure-wave concentrations.

I love how people are so defensive of you in youtube comments. I saw a lot of times where people would say something not even that insulting (like “it’s hard to take this song seriously because the lyrics are silly, but you did a good job with it. great cover.” and someone would reply and say “WHOA who the hell are you to say this song can’t be taken seriously? Kina is an amazing artist and can make any song meaningful. You should watch her original songs, then you’ll see what I mean.” then the original poster will reply and say “WHOA callllmmmm yourself, I just said she did a good job.”

that’s how we do, misa :)

(i.e., We all gather ’round when she sings…)

So as long as its before the new extended deadline of awesomeness, could I, say, order a yay hat and have it personalized? Pretty sure you should sell kina-made yay hats for a profit of like… 5000%? I mean, I don’t want to wait too long and be forced to get a company-made, standardized, mass-produced beige yay hat with no fun colors and the word “yay” printed on said hat at a strictly non-exciting angle in courier font…. ^^

But srsly, super stoked for your album! <3

-wiley

How dare you insult Misa like that! She is an amazing grad student and can make any bla(h)g reply meaningful!

;)

WHOA calllllmmmmm yourself, i just said she was right

:)

haha this is fun.

Yeah, I have just a few more things to wrap up before life’s agenda turns back into something resembling normal.

LOL

I’m still thinking or ordering one of her guitars, signed, hoping she’ll just pack it without giving it any 2nd thoughts.

Have you ever been so excited that all you could do was scream? “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” You can’t see me, but I’m doing a happy dance :) *happy dance* [takes a breath] Ahem.

I can listen to this cover forever :) I love, love, love it :)

Stairwells – Feb. 23, 2010 – most beautiful words I’ve ever heard :) When will you tell us the inspiration behind this wonderful album name? :)

Love you!

<3

I just assumed it was from her days at USC playing guitar and singing in the stairwells.

That’s what I figured, too.

the return of a two-weeker :)

whoo whoo whoo

I like this song! It kind of sounds like a bedtime story to me. I like the way you played and sang it!!! I can practice this song and be a firefly for you when you are having trouble falling asleep…or even a honeybee. couple steps back…back in my place…So, February 23rd it is! The word “stairwells” sounds nice!

^5!

looking forward to Stairwells…

I *JUST* got that…. wow.

Looked at it days ago and figured, “Now THAT’s a thinker…”

this made us so happy :)

this is an awesome cover i absolutely adore it :)
and i am BEYOND excited for the album. counting down…as we all are haha

wow its amazing how thing are going,i can’t wait to listen your new songs and the “old” ones with new mixing and the band.
this cover is really nice i love it too.

Have a great holidays.
say hi to your family :)
