Back in NY in the 90s, Julie could be seen in the local folk clubs there and participated in the New York Folk Festival, went to Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas as singer/songwriting finalist, was a featured performer at several CMJ Music Conferences while having had widespread college radio (WFMU, etc.) play across the country. This was of course before Cal Arts, which led her onto different mental terrain.
This is just to take a moment in time to wish my dear Julie friend wild peace and calm peace. The upcoming show looks amazing...I remember playing Kira/Non Credo on my first radio show years ago! Anyway, I wish you well from beneath the Minnesota sky (w/ full moon). Noodle & dumplings forever, Andy
Hello! Hello!
Everyone must know that "HOD Remix" is a magic work.
Our "Handful of Dust" remixed by our friends Musetta, Acidhead, Kurregomma and Reverse Engineering.
Fabulous artists!!
One song plays in four different ways, a rainbow full of colours I can't forget to tell you that in HOD Remix you can find one acustic live version of the song too!
We played it at Controfestival 2006 in Bari.
Your music and who you are in this world has challenged and enriched my life. I am glad you are a part of nature and a part of this world, creating art that is incredibly brave and values soul and truth over surface- and finds manners of expression that feel as fresh and organic as a wave of the ocean. It's really an honour to be your forever friend and fan!
