So…I have an audition in just under a month that requires a “short folk/alt. rock song”. Now, I have a fairly wide-ranging repertoire, but nothing that quite qualifies as folk or alt rock. So I’m asking you, the faithful Jethica.com blog readers for suggestions. I’d like something ideally that will be a bit unique and not performed 80 other times at the auditions, but not something so out there that the auditors are totally unfamiliar with it. Give me a suggestion that gets me booked and I promise I’ll give you a shout-out in my bio!

Four women who work in my office (all in their twenties and doing the same job as me) have spent, I swear to god, the last eleven minutes standing in a circle ten feet away from me talking about manicures.

Does anyone out there speak/write Russian? I need some assistance with a gift for a friend. I figure all the smart people who frequent this site must have some KGB connections or a pal in the Kremlin.

Thanks in advance for the help!

The weather in Michigan has bred in me a deeper empathy and understanding for Jack Nicholson’s character in The Shining. I no longer believe that to be a horror film, but rather a documentary about Seasonal Affective Disorder.
