it's been a while.

i've been spending a lot of time writing and recording very truly yours.  we recently put out a split ep with the understudies on cloudberry records, and took part in wee pop's first comp of the year, "starting anew."  the song, "to see you here" is on the newest series two compilation, and on january 25, we're going to be on the pop song romance comp.

we've been busy!

that being said, once everything slows down, hopefully i'll have time to concentrate on new tiny microphone recordings.  until then, if you're in chicago, i'd love to see you at a very truly yours show.

hi,

since all of my newer songs are somewhat secret for now, i uploaded my cover of "lovesong." it's a bonus on oliver north boy choir's "holy wars ep," which was released yesterday.

http://www.olivernorthboychoir.eu/holy-wars.html

the new ep is incredible...especially the single of the same name. that's all.

wow!

i'm absolutely flattered! check out this great piece from the finest kiss that compares tiny microphone to phil spector, the jesus and mary chain, and THE MAGNETIC FIELDS! (actually, the best magnetic fields song EVER)

love!
kristine

my debut album, "home" (best kept secret) is now available at the indiepages shop. it's a collection of recordings (old and new) made in 2007-2008.



i just completed a cover for oliver north boy choir. their ep, "weekender" (crunchy frog) will be out on august 1st. please check them out- they will put out the secret cover when the record is released.



hope everyone is doing well!

hey guys!

this came out on april 22:

http://weheartmusic.110mb.com/press/080417.htm

a somewhat different version of my song, "new york city lights" is on it (cd2)
you can order it via series two records (www.myspace.com/seriestworecords). there's lots of shoegaze/indiepop stuff on it. it's limited and pretty fab.

a lot of you have been asking about a tiny microphone record.
it's coming. i have a lot of packages to send and songs to complete. i apologize for the delay.
lorimer sound is going to the studio in two weeks and things are a little crazy, but i haven't forgotten. i promise.

please check out the new issue of ALARM (number 30) i interviewed one of my favourite bands of all time, the raveonettes. they are so nice!

all for now!

love,
kristine

i finally googled tiny microphone

someone wrote a short list of music they liked in chicago, and the three artists they mentioned were:

tiny microphone
my boyfriend (fireflies)
and my band (the lorimer sound)

that's really great!

i feel like a celebrity! (well, not really) but this is pretty cool:
my songs were reviewed on the indiepop music blog scatterbrain.



also, check out the upcomiing issue of ALARM (it comes on march 12(?)). AIR is on the cover, and i'm a featured writer. there's a pic and bio and everything, and the AIR article is really really great.

sooo.... my band, the starlette canvas, just finished recording for the patty duke fanzine (www.topqualityrockandroll.com)

pdfz is seriously the coolest thing ever!

tiny microphone is doing a track too.
i'd put it on here, but you should prolly buy the record when it comes out.
but since i'm so excited, there's a small possibility i'd upload it.

maybe...

byeeee

if you miss it that much, answering machine girlfriend is on the sampler in a non-as-fuzzy version. you can download it out here: www.homeofthesampler.com extras-mp3s there's even a mini bio too! byeee
