Where to begin?
This month has been a rollercoaster! On top of wild, new promise to you to have one song a month and three video blogs a week -- I had to move (still in LA ;), shot a music video for “Shame’s a Bitter Game”, learned Reiki, and I’ve had acting and finance classes 5-6 nights a week.
At least life is never boring!
In 2009 I wanted to do something really special, so I created Polyamorous: A collection of works by yours truly, Tiff. It’s a collection of songs, videos, and artwork that I will be releasing monthly online for all of 2009 that explores the world of love, sex and romance.
My Goals:
To give you new creations that will inspire you every month
To explore love, sex, and romance. ;)
To get over my need for “perfect” art and just let go and trust in my growth as an artist and trust in your love. After all, who are we to judge what gets created through us? Seems arrogant doesn’t it?
To let down my guard and allow myself to open up to you. To be vulnerable, intimate and fully, unabashedly self-expressed. (My greatest fear is to make myself completely vulnerable and have my heart ripped apart. But I am giving that up this year and giving it all to you in baby steps every month;).
To play with you. I have been hoarding all my music and you all have been very patient. You have emailed and called and chastised. Thank you for kicking my ass. I’m ready to play ;)
SO, I have a request of you…
PLAY WITH ME!
Give me feedback on songs, videoblogs, music videos, artwork, blogs and newsletters! I want to know what is working and what’s not. What do you love? What do you want more of? What don’t you like? Please Tell Me! And Let’s PLAY TOGETHER!!! It would make a huge difference if you gave your feedback by posting it on my blog or on Facebook or Myspace, instead of emailing me directly. This is more fun b/c we can all share our thoughts together! Will you take this on? Please let me know. I love you madly.
The first piece of feedback you can give is on “Shame’s a Bitter Game” and the first batch of videoblogs.
Comment Below and bare your soul ;)
On the videoblogs: Truth is, I have no idea where they are leading yet ;) I am proud however that I am least busting my ass to do them. The hardest step is always getting out the door. Once you’re out its all about exploring and finding the right direction.
STAY TUNED: Next week I release the MARCH “SONG OF THE MONTH” for your listening pleasure.

Joshua Bell at Washington DC Metro Station
Washington DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 mins a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 mins later the violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the till and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 mins: a 3 year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly, as the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced them to move on.
45 minutes; the musician played. Only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace.
He collected $32.
1 hour; he finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments .... how many other things are we missing?

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

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.
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.

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 ;)
