“Tonight, we are young… So let’s set the world on fire…We can burn brighter…Than the sun…”  And then get into a bar fight?  In slow-motion… brilliant of the band, Fun.  Love that song and love their video, and thought that I’d sing a little snippet for you.  Don’t mind the messy bedroom in the background.  I thought that it would add to the adolescent feel of the music.

Last year, I met and made friends with the illustrius Nina Storey, a fabulous singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles.  She has recently released her latest CD with the title track, “Think Twice.”  I LOVE this song, as Nina has quite a knack for creating really sticky hooks.  Here’s a short snippit of the song that I sing.  You can go to Nina’s website,  to hear the full awesome version.  www.ninastorey.com/

It’s here! It’s finally here! Is it a girl? A boy? It’s pan-gendered, I think. It’s beautiful, and so interesting.  I worked on producing this audio book, “The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Adventures” all last year.  We started recording last February, and it has finally been released as of January 18, 2012 on Audible.com.  The full press release is below:

 

Polyamory Classic “The Ethical Slut” Now Available As Audiobook

 

The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships and Other Adventures, the bestselling manual that has been a must-read for relationship pioneers for nearly 20 years, is now available as an audiobook narrated by authors Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy and produced by Allegra Bandy of Oddua Productions.

 

Distributed by industry leader Audible.com and available through iTunes, Amazon and other resellers, the audiobook contains the complete unabridged text of The Ethical Slut in ten hours and 21 minutes of professionally produced audio. Its suggested retail price is $21.95, with discounts available to Audible.com members.

 

The softcover version of The Ethical Slut was originally published in 1997 by Greenery Press. A fully updated and expanded second edition was published in 2009 by Celestial Arts Press, a division of Random House. The two editions combined have sold well over 120,000 copies to date. It is widely recommended reading for anyone considering a non-monogamous relationship, and many of its fans also suggest it as a helpful resource for monogamous readers who are seeking new paradigms for non-ownership-based relationships.

 

Although this is both Easton’s and Hardy’s first time as audiobook narrators, both have traveled the world as speakers and instructors, and have appeared many times as guests in radio, television and film. Bandy, already a popular and successful singer, songwriter and voice talent, founded Oddua Productions in 2012 to produce a variety of content including audiobooks, originally composed music, and short films.

I love playing with my brother, Riley Bandy, III.  I would love to do it more often.  He is a father of three, and I am a busy budding filmmaker.  Hmmm… At least we squeezed this one in.  I was finally able to figure out some technical difficulties with this on, so it’s coming a month later.  This was recorded live at the Red Poppy Art House, in San Francisco, on October 14, 2012.  When ever my brother and I play together, he always asks me to sing this one.  Hope you enjoy it!

We have been on the tipping point for such a long time.  Now we are past it.  The battle is won, but we still have a long way to go to winning the war.

I was inspired by the elections yesterday, and this came out of me. It’s called “Be The Change.”  Enjoy!!!

So, I’m not usually one for getting dressed up for Halloween, but I do enjoy painting my face.  So, inspired by designs of my ancestral tribal Filipino and Native American heritage, I tried this for a Halloween party last night.  I pretty much only do that once a year (now), but I like this look a lot, and might bring it back for future videos. Hmmmm…

Here is a snippet of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” which my face painting also reminded me of.  Enjoy!
