Burning up the Charts...

Posted on April 14, 2008, 01:26 PM by Karen.

Karen's new album has been climbing up the charts at thesixtyone.com, a site that ranks songs democratically based on votes from listeners (these votes are called "bumps"). Currently she is dominating the Hot Pop/Rock chart, with the songs 'Your Day Will Come', 'Land On Your Feet' and 'Meeting The Future At Full Speed' taking the #1, #4, and #5 spots respectively. Thanks for all your bumps!!

KAREN'S JOURNAL

coincidence, i think not Posted May 6th, 2008, 08:57 AM

"sometimes the messages the universe sends you are subtle, and sometimes they are not. yesterday i woke up feeling very stressed out after a poor night's sleep - poor because i had tossed and turned most of the night, overwhelmed with guilt and concern that i haven't been doing enough media promotion for my upcoming western canadian tour. i woke up feeling like the weight of the world was on my shoulders, and i had an overwhelming list of tasks to complete before the tour begins.

then i trashed the list. well ok, i didn't completely throw it out, because there *are* some necessary tasks on it... but rather, i put it into perspective: what i really felt like doing was spending the day working on a song i had just started writing the previous day (sunday).... and NOT spend all day researching media and writing news releases.

so, still feeling a little uneasy at my seemingly "irresponsible" decision, i proceeded to shut myself up in the apartment and write all afternoon... and lo and behold, i finished the song, which is something i haven't been able to do for awhile (i've written a lot of partial songs lately, but not finished anything). that was amazing thing No. 1.

Then, i opened my email and discovered that while i was writing, my friend Andrea (who is a publicist in town and who had done the publicity for my CD Release Party) had generously decided to write and send out a news release for the tour. completely on her own initiative. that was amazing thing No 2.

Then later that night, my friend Sam (an amazing engineer who worked on MTFAFS) called me over to Canterbury where they had this gorgeous $100,000 piano all mic'd up and ready to go from a week-long session that just completed... and as a belated birthday gift, he offered to stay late and record me going nuts on it for a couple hours. amazing thing No. 3!

the day ended after an exhilarating few hours at the piano and a beautiful vocal mic (yes, i laid down the new song, amongst other stuff!), with a great hang over wine and wings. (also amazing, in a fun way!)

so when you make the right decision, does the universe let you know? sorry to sound all new age-y, but after today you can see why I'm really starting to believe it! (and that my friends rock!!)" read more
