building a mystery
“building a mystery”- sarah mclachlan cover
last week in the studio with john fields was so fun! this very awesome drummer, pete thomas, came in and added some very cool percussion. i’ll keep you posted on what’s next. i hope there is a next…. arg. silly music industry and it’s lack of speed.
if you haven’t taken this poll on the forum yet, go take it now! we’re so eager to know where you all came from :) (and which social media site i should feel more indebted to ;)

oovret’s questions of the week:
BUT FIRST! an aside— i know that originally “oovret” comes from “tervoo” backwards, meaning in theory the ‘t’ in oovret should be pronounced, but for some reason i am so inclined to say it “oovray”, like the french pronunciation of “et”. am i the only one? ok, to the questions…
How long does it take to dry your hair?
hours. most likely because i don’t help it out at all….
Do you use any hair styling products?
yes, there really is no method to my madness, i have tons of things that i’ve accumulated over time, hair sprays, leave in conditioners, mousse, gels, sometimes i’ll use one, sometimes i’ll use 3, i don’t really know what i’m doing :)
How often do you cut your nails?
fairly often, they annoy me if they get long at all—makes playing guitar difficult.
What brand of toothpaste do you use?

Approximately how long does it take you to “get ready†in the morning?
depends on the day. if it’s a normal day, probably 7 minutes. if its a show day, maybe 20? give or take 15 minutes of switching in and out of outfits i disapprove of… haha.

I need Admin help. I forgot what my password is and when I ask it to send the password to my email address it sends me a link to change it. The link fails each time. They say the memory is the first to go…
Testing 1, 2, 3?

Hey Kina! You know the video for Heart And Mindwhere u were eating strawberries? That gave me an idea for a song! (lol @ using a strawberry for emphasis) I find all ur videos really inspirational, and I wish U gd luck with the new album.
I hav 2 questions
Will U include any songs from ur youtube channel on the new album, and if so which ones?
What label were U signed to for ur first 3 albums?
mondays here ! almost time for a new blog :], good afternoon kina !

@ Kina
Would the drummer mentioned in the video to ‘building a mystery’ be the same Pete Thomas from The Imposters, The Attractions, as in Elvis Costello and The Attractions:-

After fetching all of these, it would be seriously funny if it was not, but seriously cool if it is him though!
If time is a problem Kina, videos 5/6/7 are probably the ones to head for for eyeball confirmation, but not necessarily for the music - Fiona Apple is the guest singer in them.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!
