bra's on fire

last night i lit my bras on fire. no - not a throwback to the 60's, but a brilliant placement next to some candles. lol. ;)

thankfully we stopped the fire, unfortunately my brand new calvin's were burnt thru. somehow i used my magic persuasion to get me 50% off to get new ones though! the ladies at bonton were very sympathetic to my situation ;)

mr.berg

one of my dearest friends, brett below.. i had to post this photo. he makes me laugh. this picture is priceless.

Be afraid and act anyway.

fall into winter is an interesting time of year. my mood always seems to change with the weather. this week its been moody and a little gray, but calm.

I’ve been in the mode of assessing what I’ve done, where I am, what I’m doing next. Each year its the same cycle. Fall is when I look around at everything; Winter I become reclusive and creative. I write, read, paint, and stare at the snow and stars.

This is the first time I’m away from the east coast and single; you think I’d be feeling lonely, but I am exhilarated. I feel like I am on the edge of something extraordinary and terrifying. I let go of a lot this year and feel like I jumped off a cliff. Life is uncertain and nothing what it seems, but I’m clear that life isn’t worth living without risks. They say that bravery is being afraid and acting anyway. I love that. If we are too afraid to follow our passion, something inside us is dead. Passion is what makes us alive gives us freedom. My resolution for the rest of the year is to be passionate about everything I do and do nothing I feel dispassionate about.

Thanksgiving in LA

what an interesting holiday i've had.. anita and i had dinner with a group of lovely strangers and then off to party hopping we went. first we ended up in the home of a composer where i got to play with a gorgeous boa constrictor. I am so in love with her.. ;)

Then we ended up at Adam Shankman's mansion in the hollywood hills where i found myself in a pool with a bunch of naked strangers.

Yes - interesting holiday indeed. Was fun AND i absolutely missed my crazy wonderful family, my dad's gravy and mom's stuffing. Regardless, it was a great day. I am thankful for all the new, wonderful people I met and for my family and friends. xo tiff

A week of birthday

This week was amazing. I celebrated my birthday on multiple occasions and will continue to milk it until it gets closer to thanksgiving, where i will start celebrating food and beer!

Thursday was Hotel Cafe. My friends are adorable and baked cupcakes. Anita, my godmother flooded the place with balloons. The show was great - it was so nice to play with a full band in LA. It’s a rare occasion that makes me oh so happy! Late night we went to the piano bar where Brother Sal serenaded me with the best birthday song ever - you guessed it: Journey

Sunday was my real bday and I went out with a bunch of girls for dinner and then they took me to Louis IV and Bar Marmont in Hollywood. Was a fun night. Monday I saw Beck at the Nokia in LA. He was incredible. They performed his new single with headphones and samplers. It was so cute… Plus I love redheads! The opening band Jay Reatard I was not a fan of. The first half i thought they completely rocked, but after 5 or 6 songs with the same volume and tempo - loud and fast - I got super bored.

In Other News: We have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the unveiling of the new website. It’s official. While we will go on tweaking forever, TiffRandol.com is up and running, along with a new blog site that I am smitten with. It has taken a tremendous amount of effort from a group of incredible people. Special thanks to LANFUSION(.com) and Steve Spalding (http://ping.fm/XgJAZ) for their generosity and brilliance in pulling this together! Thank you! Tell me what you think - I love hearing from you. Post comments here or on myspace and facebook!

Next piece of big news: We finished mixing the album and now on to mastering! It sounds fantastic with thanks to Andrew Schneider and Todd Perlmutter for lending me their very large ears. ;) I’d also like to give special thanks to a few people who contributed towards the record. Thank you - without your support it would not have been possible! We still have a ways to go and I need your help. What I am creating is that we get 1000 downloads of the EP at $5 and the new record is as good as mixed!

How you can help:
1. Download Kiss Me Kiss Me direct off the site for $5
2. Help me start a viral campaign by emailing at least 10 friends and asking them to email 10 of their friends. Let them know: I am raising money to finish my record and the goal is to have 1000 people download the EP. Share with them why you think they should download it. And let them know that EVERY download makes a huge difference. Ask them if they will show their support by downloading it NOW by clicking here: (link to the direct download) and forward it to 10 friends.
3. OR you can order CD’s as holiday gifts from CDBABY- a charming, unique, inspiring stocking stuffer for someone you love. Order it here: http://ping.fm/lzwRA

Thank you!! It’s been an inspiring month. I am madly in love with music and everyone I know. Life is good and all i have to do is remember to take a deep breath every once in a while and watch the sunset.

Love,
Tiff

election

this is pretty damn exciting. numbers numbers numbers...

thank god i had an absentee ballot ;) Yay PA!!! with flying colors

Vote NO on Proposition 8

I need to ask for your help. There is an unfair ballot proposition that, if passed, will take away fundamental rights. This is really important to me. Will you help me defeat Prop. 8?

Prop. 8 would eliminate the right to marry for same-sex couples. I trust you agree that eliminating fundamental rights - from anyone - is unnecessary and a step backwards in our evolution.

I hope you are already planning to vote NO. But just in case you're unsure, I want you to know the real deal.

Virtually every major paper in California is against Prop 8. The L.A. Times says it is "a drastic step to strip people of rights." La Opinión called Prop 8 "an unnecessary initiative". The San Diego Union Tribune wrote that Prop 8 "offends many Californians' sense of fairness."

If that doesn't convince you, I hope you'll email me so we can talk about this.

If you plan to vote NO, there are a few easy things to help ensure it is defeated.

1. Tell everyone you know to vote NO. Send them a message at http://ping.fm/wArSQ It is really easy!
2. Make a donation. The other side has raised over $10 million more than us. They are using their war chest to spread lies and misinformation. Your donation will help us reach undecided voters who need to hear that Prop. 8 is wrong and unfair. http://ping.fm/eQWKl
3. Volunteer your time. Sign up to call undecided voters or help out in field offices across the state. http://ping.fm/29pjd

Thank you for doing all you can to defeat Prop. 8.

Lemon By Bono

How great are these lyrics? I'm obsessed with lemons...

Lemon
by Bono

See through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
But never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
And when you're dry
She draws her water from the stone

And I feel
Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel
Like I'm holding onto nothing

She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her

And I feel
Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel
Like I'm swimming out to her

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

Lemon
See through in the sunlight

A man builds a city
With banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can
See the world outside You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car She's your destination
And builds roads to run them on You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving She's imagination
But he always stays behind

And these are the days
When our work has come assunder
And these are the days
When we look for something other

Midnight is where the day begins

Rehobeth Beach Family

I flew into Newark Thursday night, went to NY Fri morning, hopped a train to PA Fri night and drove to Rehobeth Beach on Saturday. Now I'm back in Pa ;) a mouthful.

Rehobeth Beach was so beautiful and the ocean was incredible - rough and a little stormy. It's been a while since i've been to Delaware - two years in fact since Valeze played Dewey Beach.

One of the things I love most about being a musician is the people you meet in your travels. Years ago Valeze played with a band called The Metrosexuals. We got on great, ended up playing a bunch of dates together, and have stayed friends since. We haven't seen each other since we last played about 2 years ago, but they were all there last night - Derek, Marty, Chris, Jeremy.. I was so moved.. It's like family in a way. You meet people on the road and fall in love with them and you know when you meet them that you won't see them often, but when you do its like you never left.

Drama

"This whole world is just like a drama, so don't take it too seriously. Seriousness will force you into trouble... Look backwards, look forwards, look to all dimensions at what you are, what your life is. It looks like a long dream, and everything that you take so
seriously this moment becomes irrelevant the next moment. You may not even remember it. Remember your first love, how serious it was. Life depended on it. Now you don't remember it at all, it is forgotten.

And whatever you are thinking that your life
depends on today will eventually be forgotten. If you are unhappy, you have taken something too seriously. Don't try to find a way to be happy. Just change your attitude. You cannot be happy with a serious mind. With a festive mind, you can be happy.
Take this whole life as a myth, as a story. It is, and once you take it this way you will not be unhappy"
-OSHO

Dr. Woo

After 3 weeks of being incredibly sick, my friends told me to go see this chinese doctor - Dr. Woo. I drove to Chinatown, which by the way is so much cleaner and cuter than Chinatown in NY.. I love it..


I went into this little herbal shop where Dr. Woo checked my tongue, my pulse and after about 5 minutes told me that I have cysts in my stomach and my kidney is out of balance. He said I have crazy amounts of internal radiation that's causing all of it. Plus my stomach and immune system are messed up b/c i used to eat horrible food. interesting....... my old diet consisted of pasta, thai food, beer and illegal supplements. ;) i suppose i'm paying. So now I'm taking shitloads of supplements. No alcohol, no spicy food... Good god... The only vices I have left taken from me! ;(

So - I will let you know how progress goes. I'm kind of wondering if this internal radiation is due to my recent experiment with cellibacy ;) Seriously though - could be lots of internal energy that doesn't know what to do with itself. I am a Scorpio after all...

Matters of the heart

my love life has been nothing short of complicated in recent years and I think it would take too much time to explain ;) so I avoid... one day you will get the full story and you will be highly fascinated by my tales of open relationships and love and sex sagas that might as well be straight out of the most fabulously cliché history books.

why am i thinking about this? b/c I just drank a big glass of red wine and am listening to mikki james "the fall". which throws me right into an all too familiar state of being lonely – which think i am quite addicted to... a strange thing. I suppose I have to be addicted to something ;)

life has been interesting lately. Its strange going from being a serial relationshipist to being single. But its refreshing. I am getting to know myself in ways that I never have. There’s no one out there to distract me from myself, from you, from my vision. I think I have always used sex and relationships as a way to distract me, so for me this is a big step.

Ok. Now that I have bared my intimate life with you, I am off to have more red wine and sweet dreams.

Presidential Debate

Obama is completely present and genuine. He answers with a level of clarity and authenticity that is so refreshing. I love that he is interested in spending on education and things that will cause our country and the people to thrive. He clearly is committed to building our country and creating wealth for Americans as a whole. To me, McCain is just more of the same old same old.

Obviously, we cannot afford more of the same. I'm interested in a new conversation... Young, present, and committed. You?

Oh Cassettes

So a friend of mine found a cassette tape of my songs in a Goodwill Store in Dunlap, TN... population of 200 people. how odd. i'm cracking up. part of me is a little afraid that its one of my early childhood creations... I used to rewrite dirty lyrics to disney songs and release albums for christmas to my family... could they be resurfacing? oh my...

last night i played silverlake lounge. was such a fun night. my friend jessy greene sat in on violin - she's amazing and gorgeous. also ben peeler of course, who is always brilliant. the highlight of the night for me was having mikki james play. despite his self deprecating comments about being uncomfortable on stage, i think he is a brilliant songwriter and i love hearing him play.

oh other highlight of the night was meeting richard grieco. psyched ;)

Gospel Night at Hotel Cafe

Just got home from Brother Sal and Laura Jansen's "Gospel Night" at Hotel Cafe. The show was beyond amazing - completely inspiring and brought me back to my days at church camp. Fun Fact for the Day: If you didn't know, I used to lead campfires at church camp and my parents used to be ministers. ;) It was one of my biggest experiences growing up…

So after the show, I pull into the driveway with my friend Aida and share with her about it. I had to walk away b/c I didn't believe in organized religion anymore and the boundaries and separation I feel it creates between people. At this point I don't identify with anything that creates any kind of separation – labels, religions, sometimes even gender ;) Really – we're all the same, except when we say we're not. And even then, we still are – we just forgot we are.

I had no idea this was all brewing under the surface and I certainly had no idea I would be tearing up in my driveway or writing an extremely personal blog after "Gospel Night" at Hotel. But there it was and I surely did and I feel like I can finally put it to rest and enjoy these songs again with absolute freedom. Yes, I will be singing with em at the next Gospel Night and fillllled with anticipation. ;)

Night,
Tiff

Love Is... Osho

"Love is not an exploitation but a mutual sharing of your being, of your joys, of your music, of your pure poetry of life. It is sharing and it is mutual". - Osho (from "Love Freedom and Aloneness")

This book is possibly my favorite book on the planet. Whenever I find myself getting a little possessive of people in my life I jump up and read this book.

OK signing off. Just wanted to share that quote real quick. Order the book on amazon and tell me what you think. Going to enjoy some sunshine, drink tea and read more of my man Osho! xot

Passing

I just found out that a girl I know passed away two days ago in her sleep while on vacation with her family. She was 29, successful and absolutely stunning. We don't know yet why she died, but I suppose it doesn't really matter - just like that, for no reason at all, she passed and that's how it goes. I have knots in my stomach. I remember nothing but lovely things about her and it just seems so tragic.

I spoke with another friend of mine who was very close to her and he said "I remember all those times we stressed about exams and the right college and the right law school. I regret that. I wish those moments were spent having fun and enjoying life." We never know when our last moment will be and we waste so much time worrying about the future and forget to enjoy each moment we are alive until its too late.

"Waste not, want not".

Don't seek the truth, cease to cherish opinions

My friend Pesci asked me yesterday if i consider myself enlightened. We were joking around, but I thought about it this morning as I was walking down the street to order my latest addiction (decaf, non-fat venti latte;) lol. So...What I concluded is that I am more so than I was yesterday and enlightened enough to know that I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground.

We are very funny, human beings... We so love to define and label ourselves, even when we're being rebellious and "anti" something, we think we're doing the opposite of labeling and we're actually just labeling ourselves "opposite of that". It's so silly and what's the point really? You label yourself and every one else that meets you labels you. Every single one is an opinion and they are all different ones because every point of view is slightly different. We are simply a bunch of crazy people trying to define the undefinable. Trying to explain and understand the unexplainable. Let it go.

A Zen saying - "Don't seek the truth, cease to cherish opinions."

We waste so much time

pretending. worrying. thinking. numbing ourselves. paralyzed from living.

its time to wake up. its time to move forward. its time to live.

Home Sweet NY

It's been wonderful being in NY. It has been extremely hectic - i thought I'd have plenty of free time in 3 weeks to chill, but 3 gigs has turned into 5 gigs, plus a live taping with Woozfly, recording some commercials, and the kicker - recording at the gorgeous LoHo Studios with Todd Perlmutter from Blue Man Group. I'm very excited.. On top of that we got photos back from the shoot last week and they are so cool... Now we're working on redesigning the website and album and all that. Finally came up with a title for the album too. its a secret ;) you'll see..

So.. NY... There is something about coming home to NY that feels so magical. There is so much love in this city and this week being with everyone has been an amazing homecoming. I am even more excited to see everyone at Mercury Lounge on Tuesday. I know that's going to be an incredible night.

One of these days I will get this video blog process moving smoothly and I'll be able to keep a running a video tab up online ;) Still need someone to help edit.. anyone?

Anyway, love to all. gotta catch a train. xx Tiff

devour your life

almost two years ago i started this blog to share with you all a declaration of "who i am". i went through a life altering experience and realized what an asshole i had been to many people that i loved because it was more important for me to prove that i was right, than to accept a different point of view. how funny we are? we will even be righteous about how open minded we are! "you are wrong - we ARE open minded!" lol.

really its kind of cute - those are the moments where we get stuck in being 5 years old again. now when i get that way or someone i know does, i try to laugh and have compassion, knowing its just a childish reaction. this has three major impacts - 1. i feel way less stressed out and angry. 2. the other person gets heard and acknowledged - which is all they really wanted in the first place. 3. the conversation disappears. try it and you'll see... when you allow another to be heard and gotten, that conversation will literally disappear.

our world is a big game that looks like this: millions and millions of people running around bumping into one another trying to prove that their point of view is right. sometimes we prove it by finding others that agree. other times we prove it by finding people who disagree so we can be pissed and then go find others that agree. lol. silly? maybe.. fun? sometimes.. purposeful? you be the judge.. to me its just what it is and well - its pretty silly, but so is scrabble and i sure as hell love a good scrabble match.

so who i am i in this silly game? freedom, love and play. why? because it is my life and i get to say, as do you!! what i am committed to is to share my love with the world. to inspire you. to teach you. to learn from you. to honor who you are and acknowledge you. to be with you in your heart and soul wherever you are, causing you to look at love in a way you never have before. to have you know that you can create anything for yourself and your life and that true, authentic, unconditional love is the access point to everything you desire.

i invite you to begin to devour life. everything you desire is yours. there are NO limitations! stop suppressing your desires, your life, your adventure. live, love, create, be self expressed. know that every moment of your life is a dance and you get to choose your next move. so who are you today?

with love,

tiff

Channeling, San Diego, Sailing and Studio

It has been a very interesting week... Last Tuesday I saw a lecture on raw food and enzyme therapy.. was pretty amazing. Then afterwards I sat in a room with 9 people, most of whom were strangers and a Channel or Medium did a session with us. It was one of the wildest experiences I've ever had. I am definitely a very open person - I believe in just about anything that you can't actually see with your own two eyes. Even so, there was that little skeptic in me, but this experience was beyond moving and fascinating. Riz, the Channel, is definitely the real deal. He said things to me and everyone in the room that he could not have known. The thing that moved me the most was that he knew I was a painter and told me to "drop the brushes, dip my hands and body in the paint and that I would feel as i once did as a child". It's been about two years since I've painted and I've missed it so much, but i've been so busy and focused on first, recording this album and now, raising money for it, building a team, and everything that goes into an album release across the board. In any case, I have missed painting. Now I just need to find some place to go paint for a day with my hands and body ;)

The rest of the week was amazing as well. Had some great meetings. Wrote a new song. Thursday I saw a great songwriter play named Buddy, which was wonderful. Saturday I went to San Diego with my friends Ross and Brennan for the day and drank tons of beer on the beach. Yes, I cheated on my diet in a major way ;) But it was microbrew.... I'm helpless with a good microbrew. lol. Sat night I played a show at the strangest venue i've ever been to. Sunday we drove back and I went sailing with a bunch of friends. What a beautiful day... I love the ocean.

Have to run - I'm on my way to Jim Scott's Studio to work on a remix of "Kiss Me Kiss Me"

MillionForMarriage

I signed. Read this letter and sign if you will! xo Tiff


Dear Friend,

Do you want to live in a country that legalizes discrimination?
Despite the recent California Supreme Court decision that
denying same-sex couples the right to marry is unconstitutional,
efforts are underway throughout the country to take away rights
from same-sex couples.

I just joined thousands of others in showing my support for
marriage equality for all. But recently, proponents of bigotry
and hate collected even more signatures in an attempt to
invalidate the California Supreme Court decision. And they won't
stop with California - extremists are even trying to add a
same-sex marriage ban to the U.S. Constitution.

We are at a turning point in our nation's history and I'm hoping
you'll join me in standing up against discrimination. Please
sign the Million for Marriage petition and get us one name
closer to showing that Americans overwhelmingly support marriage
equality!

http://www.MillionForMarriage.org

Every committed couple deserves to enjoy the privileges and
responsibilities conferred by marriage. Add your name to the
petition and be a part of the movement to fight for marriage
equality for all.

Thank you!

Videoblog 3B: Ben Peeler and I in the studio

This is a very serious blogisode. Ben wrote me a song. He is madly in love. ;) Come see Ben and I play at Genghis Cohen this Thursday 5/29 in LaLaLand. 9pm



BTW - If you have not seen my fabulous new haircut, here is a pic:

On Blogging

It's a beautiful day as per usual in Cali, though yesterday was kind of stormy. I'm getting ready to run off to Santa Monica and Venice Beach for a couple meetings, but it hit me this morning that I missed writing to you all. When I don't write for a while I get so overwhelmed with the massive amount of things that have happened in my life that I don't even know where to start, so I avoid starting. (The mind is illogical most of the time - did you ever notice??) So then what happens is you have no idea what's going on and then at some point I write a long blog with an overwhelm of crap! ;)There's a fine line between updating and verbal diarrhea - I am still trying to find the balance ;) Funny b/c sometimes I listen to people talk and talk and think - goddamn... I really don't need all these details - when are they gonna get to the point? And then I go do the same thing... ;) lol. I suppose we are all a reflection of one another - in fact, I noticed lately that the things that bother me most about other people are really the things that bother me most about myself. For example - when people are late to meet me or don't return my phone calls. I get so pissed!!! and most of the people in my life will laugh b/c I am constantly late and sometimes I avoid returning phone calls if there's something I don't want to deal with. Yes, I am telling on myself. why? Because I know you'll call me out on it and I love you for that.

Addressing the area of blogging and videoblogging - call me out on it. email me and shout if you don't hear from me every week b/c probably what's going on is exactly what I mentioned above and inside I really want to share every intimate detail of my life (minus the crap part of it;)

As for the video blog bit - I so want to be doing this regularly, but am having tech issues! I am a songwriter - figuring out Imovie Editing is not my thing ;) If anyone would like to help out and be part of my video team - let me know.

Love you all. Running out the door. BUT I will update you later on my travels, where i'm at with the record release, my romance life, and more.

Desires

“To thine own self be true.” – Shakespeare



Explore and express your desires fully. Experience all of life so that you are satisfied and complete. When we suppress our desires, it poisons us. We become incapable of being true to ourselves and others.

The beauty and power in life is to not live unconciously based on our past, but to open up to a world of limitless possibilities.

videoblog 2: Jim Scott’s Studio Check it out

I went to visit "Plyers Studio" deep in the valley where the legendary Jim Scott and brilliant engineer Kevin Dean create gorgeous music! Jim has produced/mixed/engineered just about every classic artist from Sting to Stevie Nicks to Tom Petty. I had a blast at the studio playing with an overwhelm of toys ;)

the walking dead

i feel like the walking dead. i have been extremely sick for over two weeks now. i got that awful cold and its completely gotten out of hand. Last Friday i woke up with no voice whatsoever and it's been that way until today i woke up and i could slightly croak out a few words. sexy, i know. seriously though it has been rough. its my last week in NY until probably June and was not how i envisioned spending it. to be honest, i'm pretty depressed. my voice is my love and not having it feels almost paralyzing. Plus i'm just plain bored with sitting on the couch, steaming my throat, and eating honey til i'm nauseous. And the kicker is that it looks like i will have to cancel my show tomorrow at piano's. i'm still hoping i wake up tomorrow well, but its unlikely. that's all for now. tiff

Sports Illustrated Video from Fashion Week

They used "All I wanna Do Is Love". cute ;)

What is it about the rain?

;) It is a gorgeous night here in NY. Just left Rose's in Williamsburg. Tonight is just the right kind of cold and there is nothing quite like a walk home in the rain. It's nights like this when I realize how madly in love with NY I am. How many places in the world can you just wander into an empty bar in brooklyn on a rainy wednesday at midnight and see a lovely jazz trio playing for pennies just to share their music? Absolutely stunning.. Spending time in LA has me appreciate it more and more. It's so easy when I am in NY full time to get into a routine and forget all the things that I came here in the first place: museums, jazz, art and of course romance. To be here with an intention to experience everything and everyone fully is a completely different world. Love Love Love NY.

Mercury Lounge

was out of control. thank you all for being so damn sexy

Today I sat on the docks in Hermosa Beach watching pelicans and a pod of Dolphins in the rain. It was stunning. One of those moments where I was so present to the unexpected - And to how beautiful and peaceful the unknown can be. With that said I would love to invite you all to be with me at my last show in LA before I leap over to NY for a homecoming at The Merc.

Wed 2/27 @ 7pm. The Hotel Cafe. 1623 1/2 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles. w/Ben Peeler, Joe Carnes, Brendan Buckley
Fri 3/14 @ 830pm. The Mercury Lounge. Houston @ Essex. New York City w/The MF's. (also Les Sans Culottes & Elk City)

Look forward to seeing you all. Oh - also - if you get a moment, will you review the EP on Itunes?

Thanks!!! xoTiff

Valentine's Day

This was my first Valentine's Day being single. and.... well - it rocked... My godmother Anita took me for a manicure and pedicure. We ate sushi. (I drank sake). Then she took me shopping and gave me some V-Day bling. Exhausted, we came home and watched a chick flick. ;) lol. Could it have been any more perfect? don't think so! Cheers to being single. This is such a strange experience for me and i must admit i am enjoying it. kiss

a day in la

Realized I stopped blogging for a while and i apologize. What happens is i get so overwhelmed with the amount of things happening, that i don't even know where to begin OR option 2, there are so many scandalous things better left unsaid ;) SO then i just avoid talking about it all together.

Started the day making a vision board. I've never done one, but oprah says its a must and it was actually kind of fun. Then spent the afternoon with a new friend, Charlie Mars who I met at last Monday's Hunnypot Radio Party. Was great to see everyone.. Charlie is a great songwriter - charliemars.com - listened to his new record which has a song that I fell in love with about listening to Dark Side of the Moon. very charming.. We went to check out Jim Scott's studio today which was basically like a big kid toybox.. i was kind of salivating. Lots of little toy piano's and colorful tapestries - Elvis paraphenalia - pure heaven. Going to the Donna's tonight at Crash Mansion in LA.

Ooh La La

Out in LA now! It's been such a fun week! Played a great show with the MF's at the Knit for the Limewire party. I feel like we hit a nice stride musically and of course as usual had a love fest that went late into the night. Then Greg and I drove out Wed night to Northampton, which is such a cute town.. We played for the gorgeous gals at Smith College and than rocked Guitar Hero all night at the Talbot House. It looks like we will probably be back in the spring again as well! Flew into LA friday - i think i travelled at least 12 hours... Lots of delays, a stopover in N. Carolina and when i got to LA I found out my luggage was left in N. Carolina! Yep - one of those ;) But now I'm here, it's beautiful weather, and i'm so excited!! Yesterday I got to drive my dream van around redondo beach. I will post pix on my blog this week!

Tonight I'm playing Tangier with my good friend and songwriting partner Ari Shine. www.arishine.com We're pretty excited to do our first duo performance - playing eachother's songs and songs we've co written. should be a fun show! Next week playing with the band at Silverlake! I'll try to send an update every week on how things are going! Love, Tiff

Hello love birds,

Frantically trying to get ready to head out to LA! Of course I will miss you all, but am thrilled to say I will be frolicking on the sunny West Coast ;) I have some amazing shows lined up (if you are out West and interested in booking me for an event or private performance, please let me know). Then in March I head back to NY to record an album w/Valeze. Check out www.tiffanyrandol.com I've now got a video link on the site that plays two Live videos that I filmed on FOX Fearless Music.

Tonight is my Cali Kick Off party!! Please join! It's a free Limewire event that starts at 730. I play with the MF's at 9pm. We get hardcopies of the EP in today, so I will have copies for you all, as well as a new line of tshirts and other goodies. Thursday I play with Greg McMullen on pedal steel at SMITH COLLEGE in Northampton, MA. Then fly out to LA and begin a stint of weekly shows out West starting with Tangier on 2/3 with Ari Shine and Alex and Sam.

I am also playing a game to create 1500 downloads on Itunes by Feb 15. How can you help? Download the EP on Itunes, call 10 friends and ask them to download it, and send out an email blast to all your people! If you want to be on the team to help this happen, please email me and let me know. Word of mouth is everything at this stage in the game and I thank you all for your unending support and love! xo Tiff

Kiss Me Kiss Me, a 5 song EP produced, written, and engineered by Tiffany Randol "is a breathlessly intimate sketch on unconditional love that's drawn comparisons to June Carter, Kate Bush and the sun-drenched harmonies of Lennon and McCartney.”
- Matt Allen, MOJO Magazine
