A walk down memolane…

I don’t know if you’ve heard of the website memolane.com, but you’ve probably noticed me frequently re-posting videos on the anniversaries of their releases (on Facebook.com/LindaHarrisonMusic). Now, I’m not some crazy person that is amazing with dates and just happens to remember I uploaded something a year ago, nor do I keep it in my diary as a day to celebrate! However, I have subscribed to Memolane and they send me daily emails that remind me of what I was doing on that date a year ago (or two/three/four years ago), for example here is the email I received yesterday:

Which means a year ago today I was performing at Media Camp Nottingham.

This reminded me that I uploaded a couple of clips from this performance, but for some reason I kept them private**. Anyway, I thought with it being a year ago that I recorded these video clips, today I should change them from private to public…so here is “Love Flu” from MCN4 2011:

**I do this with a lot of YouTube videos, before I upload any video I begin to believe it’s terrible and that I’m embarrassing myself. Most of the time I overcome the nerves and post the video anyway, but some stay behind closed doors for a long time (like the video above).

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.

Honoured

During the last 5 days I have posted ads on the Internet and around London, looking for the perfect band.

So far I have received over 70 responses. I feel so privileged to live in a place like London where I can find such an abundance of talented musicians; and so honoured that they would want to work with me.

Please don’t stop getting in touch and spreading the word, this band is going to be highly important for me and I want to be certain that we’ve got the right men!

Contact me HERE if you are interested.

Update 24/01/12: When I said “right men”, I didn’t mean that I wasn’t going to let women join the band; it’s just that all the applicants so far have been male. All women are welcome!
