Stone Cupid Music - Julie Christensen - News http://stonecupid.com/news.html Julie Christensen: News Jannis' PHPRss class - http://www.jannis.to/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:33:38 -0800 We finalized the masters of the new record January 28th! http://stonecupid.com/news.html#45 The mixes sound magnificent, and I'm so proud of this new record.


I'll have promo copies for my trip to Memphis for my Official Showcase at Folk Alliance International Conference, and other shows in the  the midwest. (Check the CALENDAR PAGE) Then we'll do an official release in early April!


I know it's been a long time coming. Thank you to all my supporters and donors to the project. These have been tough times for everyone, and I've done my best to keep this wonderful project alive. So have you. I won't let you down.


We still have to get the artwork finalized, and manufacture the physical product. There's still time to get into my list of supporters, because we still need funds for that phase now. Here's the link where you can donate directly:


***If you've reached this via my rss feed page, you can click THIS LINK to head over the news page on my site, and the link will work from there. Thanks!



I'll be using the talent, smarts, and general goodwill of my friends at theconnextion.com for the distribution of my new release on Household Ink, and for my back catalog, as well.  


 


It looks like we didn't make our projected release date of Tuesday, February 21st, 2012 for the physical release of our new album, "Weeds Like Us". BUT downloads will be available at iTunes and all over the web by then.


The physical release will have to wait until April, or until we can get the funds to make that happen. We've made an amazing album on an amazingly small budget. It just takes what it takes.

My producer, Jeff Turmes, played bass. Don Heffington was on drums, and Rick Holmstrom and Josh Grange played guitars. Peter Malick is our engineer, and we'll be working with him Wed. Sept 7th and 28th laying down some acoustic stuff. I'm very excited about the material on this album, and can't wait to get it out to you! Watch for it this winter.

Our community lost a great friend in Kenny Edwards, who was set to produce my new album, and it's taken awhile to regroup. But I've got lots of new songs that I'm excited to sing and share with you, and I'm finding my way to make this happen with a new producer, my old friend Jeff Turmes , who is touring of late with Mavis Staples and band.

His music and loving nature is in the DNA of the Southern California of the last several decades. We will miss him terribly.

Julie Christensen








1. What inspires you?

Emotional Triggers will cause me to process things by writing
something down. Walking in the beautiful nature I'm lucky to be
surrounded by inspires me. And listening to some of my favorite
things challenges me to get up off it and create on my own.



2. What would be the three main rules if you ran your own country?

Respect. Dignity. Compassion.



3. If you could swap places with anyone for one day, whom would you
choose and why?

Today that might be my 60-year-old yoga teacher, Ingrid, who is a
great beauty, an artist, and and activist. Of course, I'd have to be
able to do all the asanas she can, and I'm not there yet! On another
day, it might be someone else.



4. Tell us one thing that your fans would be surprised to know about
you.

I took Chinese and Asian studies my first year of college and made
the Dean's List.



5. If you could name a planet, what would you name it and why?

Aiode, one of the three original muses--she is the muse of song. And
only Venus is a female name. How come they stopped naming them female
after that? Earth should also be Gaia; it's so much prettier and
stronger a name for this beautiful planet. Maybe we'd take care of
her better if she had that name.



6. What is your favorite book?

Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner

It's like traveling in a dream of Old California...I'd missed it when
it was first around. Timeless.



7. If money was no object, what hobby would you like to try?

Horseback Riding--I did it when I was really young and only a few
times since. Generally I haven't warmed to the culture around it, but
I'd like to explore it, because it's a great feeling to bond with
those beautiful animals.



8. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and
why?

I've never been to Japan, and would like to see Japan outside the
cities. But I've been to Venice five times, and would go back there
again in a heartbeat.



9. If you could be at any one event, which one would you choose and why?

I'd love to be at the inauguration of Barack Obama's presidency.



10. What is the theme song for the movie that is being made about
your life?

Oh, that's a hard one! The movie inside my mind is trippy and
convoluted.
As for a song everybody knows, it might be "Over the Rainbow" because
I run on hope.
And I wrote a song years ago with a couple other people called "Song that Might've Been" about staying in right now and not letting
chances go by...
