We all have them. Moments in life that completely freak us the f*ck out. Be it our own self-induced scare, fear of facing something, someone else's health, our health, heart break, relationship woes, employment changes... there's always at least a tiny second of "holy crap, what the hell am I going to do???!!!". If there isn't, you aren't human and you obviously aren't doing it right. I'm

It's been far too long. I have no excuses except for the million I will be more than happy to share... but it would take forevs. So I'll just say, life has been busy. Portland has been an interesting change for this woman. I haven't painted for six months until very recently! I've dabbled in my sketchbook here and there, but I've really been a busy lady and getting all those boxes in the garage

It's Summer. I'm not even going to begin to complain about the cooler, cloudier weather we are having...the rest of the country is on fire and experiencing mad-hot weather. I'll take these clouds over heat any day. Since my last post, I've started working two really fantastic jobs downtown Astoria, school has ended for the Summer, I'm in a new, sweet relationship and I've been involved in a

It's a gorgeous morning today, and we've had more and more of them as of late. I haven't been working on too much artwork lately, because working and school has me pretty busy. Not to mention the radio show I host every Monday. (Segue segue segue...) http://amyontheradio.blogspot.com/ My show is on coastradio.org (or 91.9 FM for you locals) every Monday at midnight. That's right, midnight.

I've been a busy woman as of late. The RAW show was interesting and it was great to see so many faces I haven't seen in over a decade. There wasn't enough time for me to really enjoy extensive conversations with anyone, but having them there for the event was a great joy to me. Doing mystical things in my hotel room at the Jupiter in Portland, Oregon. The following are photos taken by Mercy

I'll be having my first Portland show Feb 17th! I'm super excited and nervous and motivated and and and...! I was contacted last week, so I have some serious crunching to do. But, if you know me well, you know that I work great under pressure. I'm really excited to see the other artwork, performance art, film and dance my booty off at the end of the night. So you Portland people, I really hope

Happy Solstice everyone! I hope this blog finds you well, warm and loved. New work completed! Already in a new home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! "Go with the Flow" Acrylic, ink on linen. Also, I found a great home for a piece that I've had for a while. So happy! It's such an odd experience to have something I've created with me for several years, then to sell it.

It's been a few months since my show at Old Town Framing in Astoria, Oregon. Thought I'd better get some photos up! I've been so busy with school and moving, everything else has been pushed aside a bit. I love my new little place, I have a great view and I am rocking my courses this quarter. All in all, life is going well. -Amy

Working on my "Interpretation Box" for my upcoming show. It's exactly what it sounds like, this show is focused on individual interpretation of childhood memories while being a "grown up". I'll have my interpretations of nature, the destruction of nature, the hunter and the hunted, and being female during the clock-ticking years. What we wanted to be when we "grew up" and what we are in the "now"

So after 3 years of being in the great Northwest, I am Boise bound for a vacation with family and friends. I am so thrilled! I've been needing some "home" time and finally have the opportunity to go. When I come back, I'll have 3 weeks to tie up loose ends before my show at Old Town Framing in Astoria."Nurturing Our Nature" is the theme. I'll leave that open to interpretation for now.Speaking

I'm going to keep this short, as I've had little sleep and I am mind-numb. My little sweet golden boy died this morning, and my heart is broken.

He and I have been on this roller coaster called life for over a decade, after I

EBE show 11 3 11 part 1 by amyontheradio - Oct 21, 11

..at least in spurts, it feels a lot like Summer. I have yet to go camping this Summer, which is a damn shame. At least I have music, and lots of it! For now- it's work, doggy walks, pie baking, music sharing and random trips to the beach on the menu for Summer. No complaints.
(But I really want to go camping.)
Last night was a fun show. Lots of goodies from several decades and genres. A big quilt made of rare scraps of fabric. I'm working on getting the show, or part of it, online to listen to and for downloading. I'm currently using Soundcloud, and I really dig it, but I don't dig that in order to actually have more than 2 hours of music posted, I'll need to pay for a larger space/ subscription. Being that I volunteer for KMUN, it doesn't really make sense to put my cold, hard earned dollar bills into acquiring more space for previous shows. So, until I find an alternative solution, Soundcloud it is. 2 hours at a time. :)

...like the Terminator, I'll be back.
I've been off the air for the last 3 weeks, and I wonder if you've noticed, hrm? I'm actually somewhat delirious from drugs right now, thanks to a nasty bout of strep throat and a sexy sinus infection. I'm sure my 14 day in a row work schedule I allowed myself didn't help the cause. Note to self.
I loathe being ill. I seriously hate it, it stops everything from moving forward. Stagnation makes me uncomfortable. So when I'm sick, when I'm not tuckered out sleeping, I'm learning how to be still and be okay with it. Essentially, it's probably a good thing, but I do it kicking and screaming.
Whoa... heavy. Let's get back to music before I find the meaning of life, er something.
So last week I asked a fellow programmer to sub for me and I hope you tuned in and enjoyed. Gregg has a very eclectic and amazing interest in music and I knew he'd be perfect for the spot. If you tuned in and are curious as to what was played, here's the playlist:
06/21/11 playlist:

Also, I should mention that Gregg is super freaking talented. He's one of those people that perplexes me with his presence in tiny Astoria. Check out some of his wicked (and I don't mean that in the current hip use of the word, but wicked as in like super brilliant) work here on Soundcloud:

No radio for this busy girl this week. Sorry listeners! I'll be back on KMUN next Monday at midnight with the Eclectic Boogaloo Hour.
Until next time, I wanted to share a few videos. May not be appropriate for some viewers, I suppose. That is if you find scantily clad pizza delivery women offensive. I really enjoy finding new music via Vimeo. Vimeo is an online network for videos. So while I'm able to discover really great artistic videos, the music to some of them rocks my socks off!
Enjoy and be well!

- May 02, 11Happy Monday, you crazy kids.
I'm recovering from a great, sunny weekend in Portland. Definitely feeling the come down as I trudge through Monday with lots of coffee and sweet memories of an eventful, jam-packed weekend with old and new friends. I went to Portland for a myriad of reasons, and while I was there, I had the pleasure of meeting some great music people from all over the West Coast.
Friday night I attended a laptop battle at BC's, brought to Portland folk by my friends at Architects and Heroes and Nude Photo Music.
Very sadly, I missed the laptop battle. Next time, I MUST witness this. I hear it was stellar! Maybe I'll even participate, it's been a long time since I've showcased my own laptop skills. Ahem.
I didn't, however, miss the great music that followed the battle, phenomenal sets by all.
On Saturday I met with Stephen Ruiz (A+H), Gustavo Lanzas (Nude Photo Music), and H.A.Eugene (A+H) where over the course of a few drinks in the lobby of the lovely Hotel Deluxe, I interviewed them and we rapped about what these cats are currently working on and what they plan to share with Portland (and the world) in the very near future. In the next few weeks, I plan on sharing bits of the interview and music from them, as well as other musicians affiliated with their projects.
There's a whole world of innovative music going on and I'm going to do my best to bring what I can to KMUN listeners.
Thanks to the internets, the speedy advancement of technology and the growing feasibility of owning a computer, electronic music has completely changed in the last 10 years. Endless streams of music are now available from all corners of the world. There are podcasts, broadcasts, live feeds, obscure live-streaming shows, and new labels popping up every day. It's a mixed bag out there folks, and I am happy do dive right in and pull out what I can.
So stay tuned for more highlights from this weekend as I gladly share new music with the world.
Peace."Team Activate" sporting our Architects and Heroes stickers. - Apr 26, 11
