Catch "Go" in Blue Eyed Butcher, on the Lifetime network on March 3rd.

I've been writing diligently to prepare for the next record.  I've a record's worth of material, but I usually like to over-write, come prepared with a couple extra songs in case something just isn't working at mixing time.  With Wind Up Toy, I recorded ten and only released five.  Maybe someday I'll rework the other five, maybe not.  There's almost a flair of old-time country to a few of the new ones--a folk quality. 
A couple more placements came this week too: "Candy Heart" is in the new Adrianna Papell website promo, and an instrumental of "This is" was used in the tv show, Shameless, on Showtime and in the film trailer for Jeff, Who Lives at Home, starring Jason Segel, due in theaters March 16.  

Looks like I'm going to have to get hooked on a new Tuesday night show.  ABC Family is airing my song "Dream a Better Way," on Jane by Design tomorrow night, February 7, in the episode, The Image Issue.  The show stars Erica Dasher and features Andie MacDowell as the steely boss. So, would you or wouldn't you want to get sent to the bosses office??

I'm not sure if I could be more excited!  Three songs, really?  If you tune in to 90210 tonight you'll catch three songs in one episode.  The new episode, "Mama, Can You Hear Me," airs at 8pm on the CW and will include "Out of my arms," "Metal Boy," and "Drive me home"-- a song that I record and mixed at home but never released to record.

I'm growing incredulous.  Five songs in one season?  Maybe I could pop in and do a quick acoustic set... if only they'd resurrect the old Peach Pit.  The man behind the bar, the ab man, they call him, well, I'm starting to think he likes my records. I can't tell you exactly where you'll find my song "Next to you" in this week's episode, "Vegas, Maybe," but, maybe, just maybe, it'll be playing in the background in the bar.  It's pretty chill like that.
Keep your ears peeled.  Catch the episode on the WB Tuesday, November 8th.
