Step Back In Time (continued): LA LA Land

This is a follow up to “Step Back In Time: Lost in LA” http://lindabyharrison.com/2012/03/step-back-in-time/

So, the next day I woke up to this:

Not bad I’d say! But nothing like the view in the evening:

The point in sharing these photos is to say that when the skies are blue, it makes it easier to clear your head of clutter and start the day fresh. My week in LA began and I was open to any opportunity that might come my way. It’s been said that British people are reserved and sometimes come across as unfriendly, the opposite is true of LA people. I was stopped every day by someone wanting to give me a compliment, often these compliments turned into conversations which turned into “I know somebody that does videos/music/clothes/gigs - maybe they could help you”. The whole culture is far more relaxed, which made it so much easier for me to settle in and get to work.

While I was out there I was co-writing, finding contacts for music venues, making friends and getting inspired. It was all preparation for the things you’re going to see over the next 18 months. Particularly look out for the song “Supermodel” (written with Jacques Brautbar ex-Phantom Planet), some LA inspired clothing/jewellery and fingers crossed an American tour next March (2013).

Keep your eyes pealed for Step Back In Time: Part 3 where I find myself homeless (not for long) and I arrive at SXSW, the biggest festival for new music.

The strange things people search for

I was looking at my website statistics today and noticed the section called “Search Traffic”. It highlights the keywords that people have used in Google searches to result in them clicking onto my website - www.LindaHarrisonMusic.com . These are the top 10 keywords that have been used in searches to result in people visiting my website…please note Number 9: How to build a confessional booth! Although, number 8 is a little odd too.

But check this, I am ACTUALLY the 5th result on google for “how to build a confession booth”! Isn’t this brilliant?! I think my aim in life now is to get to that number one spot on google searches for confession booths. [jk]

Article continues after image…

This revelation comes after a discussion subsequent to my “Late Night Live Stream” with a ‘liker’ on my Facebook page called Lewis. I asked him how he had heard about me, and he explained a great story of how he had landed on my page twice after searching for completely different things. The first was a simple search for “grungy logos” but the second was quite special I think…it was…*drum roll*… ”how to blow a balloon.

If any of you have funny stories about how you found my music, I would LOVE to hear them.

Meanwhile, please feel free to watch the worst video blog I did ever. However, it was worth it to have Lewis onboard!

Just the thought of listening to this song made me feel good. I love that about music. No matter how bad you’re feeling. 

I was having “one of those days” the other day, where the car wouldn’t start etc…two minutes later Supertramp - “Dreamer” came on the radio, and I was singing and grinning. 

I don’t think there’s any artform that conveys emotion better. I love music.

I’ve been having these really messed up dreams for about 4 weeks, but today I’ve just woken up and I’ve finally found a use for one. It came with a bass line, a drum beat, a hook, a melody, everything even the production ideas through to this insane stage show which isn’t really a stage show, but I can’t say too much - I just hope that you guys can see this in a couple of years time. It’s gonna be awesome!

Off to record…

I have an obsession with emotion, I want to make dance music that actually connects with people in the way that a soul record does. I want my music to speak to you like a folk record does, in an organic, human way. It’s the human touch that I want.

L.A. & SXSW - it’s official.

So as most of you have noticed, I am going to LA and Austin this coming March on a little adventure.

If you know anybody out there, or if you yourself are in LA or Austin and might want to meet up or show me around or introduce me to people - anything like that…please get in touch! Linda(at)LindaHarrisonMusic.com
