You've Got Press!

I got my first mini review/write up today for my big CD Release Party next week.

Fifteen years ago, I was a clueless adolescent who would only admit to liking obscure hardcore-screamo bands. In secret, however, I was listening to an all-but-lost genre, which I'll call “alternative dream jangle pop.” I'm talking No Doubt, Veruca Salt, Belly...you know, girls with cute voices pretending to be punk and singing about boys. Local singer-songwriter Marissa Levy channels this forgotten genre with a voice that absolutely redefines "cute" and is uncannily reminiscent of Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo. Take a step back into the mid-nineties, sans teen angst, as Marissa celebrates the release of her new CD, 63 Songs About Joe.— Melissa Regan

It's my Birthday Damn-it!

The spread from last night's partyLast night my husband did something no one has ever attempted to do.  He threw me a surprise party.  This is such an amazing feat because if you know me, I'm VERY aware of what's going on around me at all times.  It's difficult to keep a secret from me.  So when I walked through the door last night and saw someone standing in the dark and heard everyone yell, SURPRISE, I was floored.

Anyway it was a lovely party and my hubby, mother-in-law and my friend Jax did an amazing job of throwing it.

Thanks for all the love.

Chanukah Oy Chanukah

Happy Chanukah everyone.  Hope you have had a wonderful holiday so far.  I got a bike from my parents which I'm very excited to start riding once it gets warmer.

Anyone get any good gifts this year?
