Current mood:  content
hello all! hope this find you well.....
i'm so sorry!!

i know it's been forever and 2 days since i've written, so
i'm aware that an update is beyond necessary at this point.

since it's been a while, allow me to set the scene a
bit....catch you up to speed.

i'm totally digging my sunday evening. sitting with my step-doggie (he's in a very handsome sweater). listening to joni mitchell (ladies of the canyon). just watched 60 minutes (adore mike wallace) and about to have some sugar-free hot chocolate (sooo yummy).


i'm super tired, as usual....but with more of an excuse this go 'round. we actually started filming "license to wed" this week. woohoo! the first week is in the can and it's been a complete blast to go to work every day. i can only hope the remainder of the shoot is able to maintain this level of fun. don't know if i've ever laughed this hard. :)

beyond the prep stuff for the film, i've continued writing music for my record. last weekend, i had the honor of writing with one of my favorite bands, hem....it was amazing! i can't tell you what a charge i get out of being in the same room with such talented musicians and being allowed the opportunity to collaborate with them. i even went to their la show at the knitting factory the other evening and was blown away finally seeing them play cool and such an awesome band. :)

speaking of music,
i guess now is as good a time as any to let you know that i am a free agent in the music business. i've amicably parted ways with wb records and am trying to wisely/slowly choose the next step. it's unfortunate that a great album couldn't have come out of this partnership, but i believe that both parties were aiming for very different musical directions. i guess it's become too important and i'm not willing to compromise on the type of record i'm on the road to create. i promise you that i won't give up until i've constructed something that i'm truly proud of....

anyhoo.....
oh good gracious---i forgot the most exciting piece of week! i got the chance to visit "american idol" rehearsal last monday and was basically in heaven!! i'm totally a taylor fan (SOUL PATROL) but adore elliot as well and was rooting for the 2 of them in finals. :( oh well. i went with some friends and was thrilled to get to meet both guys and pester them with all of my annoying fan questions. haha.....they were both very gracious and i felt cool hearing taylor practice "try a little tenderness" before anyone else. can't wait to see him win the whole thing!!! go taylor!!!

and with that....it's getting late for this old lady, so i'm off to bed.
i promise to write sooner next time....

xoxo,
mm

Mandy, you have fantastic musical tastes - Ladies of the Canyon is my favourite Joni album, joint with Blue. :)

I think it's great you've left WB if it means we'll be getting YOUR version of the album rather than theirs. You shouldn't go in a different direction to what you want just to release something quicker. I can't wait to hear something, anything from the next album...any chance of a teaser? ;)

Hey Mandy!

Good to hear from you again (long time no hear).  Saw you on American Idol last night (the finale).  I think Taylor is definitely the favourite.  Guess we'll find out tonight.  I'm sure whoever loses will get a recording deal anyway.

I read in one of your interviews that you weren't agreeing with your record company.  Thing's happen for a reason and I'm sure a better deal will come along when you least expect it.  There's no point compromising yourself for something you're not going to be happy with.   Hopefully something comes up soon for you as I'm dying to hear some new material from you.

Take care xxxx

I'm glad you're not going to compromise your album for what others think you should do. Way to be brave!
I saw you on American Idol last night! I think it's pretty cool that other celebrities are out there rooting for those who are also following their own dreams!
Hope all goes well on the movie! I loved your performance in A Walk to Remember. "Only Hope" is on of my favorite songs to perform.
Have a great week! and God Bless!

Sacrum...NEW live video is up on our page. Enjoy!

 
Before I leave this planet I have to tell you that you are simply the most beautiful woman in the world (and all-time) and any list of beautiful people is invalid without Mandy Moore at the top.... Hope this doesn't come off as some sleazy message from a garbage-dude, because that's not what this message is about... It's just someone showing a genuine appreciation for someone with incredible talent and beauty and sometimes it just needs to be said... Judging by this message I've written so far, maybe I am garbage.. what a bore-fest! Well, had to write something because God knows I could never tell you this in person... My name is Mike Davidson from Memphis,Tn and I manage a band from here which is the myspace account I'm on and I saw your myspace and had to stop in and pay my tribute to the Queen... if you're ever bored and need a laugh give me a call sometime at 901-252-9758 or 901-212-0658... This is probably ignorant to give my number to Mandy Moore but what the heck... I figured since no one has commented on a blog that looks like it took some time to write, and maybe by my risking carpel tunnel syndrome to respond to said blog, you might be up one night at 3am, delirious, and say " This deserves a call" Hey... you can't blame a good ol' southern boy for tryin....

Hi Mandy!

This is Caleigh, an 18-year-old girl from Taiwan.

I hope you know where Taiwan is, it's just below Japan (where I'm sure you've been) if you search for the map.

I am a BIG fan of yours and I want you know how DIFFICULT it is you get your information here in Taiwan, so the best way is to search for the web in English!(thank God my English is fine) I bought several of your albums here (it wasn't wasy) and I LOVED your singing especially in Coverage. I also watched your movies on HBO.

Again, I loved your work and hope everything is fine with you!

aww does this mean that there will most likely not be a new CD this year?  I was actually really looking forward to getting it. anyway, thats awesome you are filming a new movie, and I really hope you find a label, although I would not think you would have much a of a problem with such great talent.. good luck

It's amazing how Ms. Moore treats people.  She treats everyone with such respect and admiration that's it leaves me in awe.  I wonder if she leaves any for herself...

Hey Mandy,

 

Just thought I'd say thanks for the update. A late update is better than no update at all :) I'm glad to hear that you're having fun filming your new movie.

Sorry to hear that you left wb records. It's too bad cause they're missing out on a great opportunity, but I guess they didn't see that. I'm sure another record label will be more than happy to have you.

 

At least you're still having fun despite what has happened between you and them.

Well i better get goin, thanks again for the update. Looking forward to another update from you soon. Take care, good luck, and keep your head up. Things will work out for you :)

 

Shaun

Taylor Hicks!  Right on!  I don't really watch this show, but I did catch the first episodes where they introduce dozens of characters, many of whom will not make it to the show.  I saw Taylor Hicks's audition and was really floored.  It is, though, the oldest musical con in the world.  A white man borrowing liberally from the black musical tradition.  From Elvis to, well, anyone that's ever tried their shot at rock-and-roll.

I like him for his gray hair and country charm as much as anything else.

Has the finale aired yet?  Is it today or tomorrow?

Taylor Hicks all the way.  Even though that cute girl that's made it to the finals stands the best chance of actually getting an album out.

B

P.S.  I don't know what a "kudos" is, but I've generously doled out two for this post.  My thoughts?  You can never have to many kudos.

Mandy,

With all the expectations you bear upon your shoulders, no wonder you are feeling so tired. There is no need to apologise for not writing sooner - plz don't feel writing blog entries as a chore - I'm sure everyone understands if you feel drained and haven't written.

That being said, thank you so much for making the effort still. And also, where is your next album which we are all waiting so eagerly for?? Why is it taking so long? Just kidding.

It is great to know that you get those precious moments of time out to recharge. Music is such a great escape for that.

I think you have much to be proud about. Being in Australia, I haven't had the opportunity to see your theatre performances. But your "So Real" album will always remain one of my favourites.

Plz take care (maybe try "sugar" hot chocolate for the extra energy. )

I am glad you are happy working on your movie. It is crazy to hear about how you are honored to write with a band and yet you are  such an awesome artist yourself.

I bet you have  a little more peace knowing that you can do your music your way not  the ways of another. I am happy for you.

I am a Taylor fan as well, I was so happy when he won last night!!! He deserved it! I bet he was excited to see you as well. I know it would be an honor to me as well.

Well thanks for the update.!!

your favorite band hem? or like Ahem...it was amazing--cuz then I was like, "maybe she meant H.I.M. or maybe she meant Jem...and then I was like, no. I'm curious to find out who your favorite band is that you got to work because so far i'm jealous of the Yamagata collab. (shorter is better) ;)

p.s. I <3 taylor.

Mandy-I totally respect your choice to seperate from your record label.  I'm not sure if you're a fan of Hanson or not, but they did the same thing and created their own label (and went on to produce one of the most successful independently released albums ever)  Sounds like that might be an option for you!  Obviously not an easy road, but a great way to preserve your vision for what you what your music to be!  Anyways, just wanted to drop by and say hi...hope all is well with you!

Oh, also, your Elle cover is gorgeous!  Nice job!

Good hearing from you Mandy, as always. Sounds like you are having a BLAST on your new movie, but who couldn't...I mean you are working with Robin Williams. I hope the fun continues and I can't wait to see it.

As far as the record label thing goes, I think ALL the labels out there are idiots for letting someone as talented as you float around. If I had a company, I'd scoop you up immediately, haha. But seriously, I really, really hope you find someplace that respects your vision and talent, and is as excited as all of your fans to hear your new music. Take your time, because when you finally do get to make your record, it will be that much more amazing...and who knows, maybe you won't have any films going on, so you can tour ;) Either way, I know I am excited.

Well, that is enough out of this dork for one day. Keep on keepin' on,  you're adored by many, and deserve the best.

Hey there Mandy, thanks for updating.

I'm sure you know by now how much the fans appreciate you, but just in case you didn't...We do!!!

Great job on The Simpsons last night. I'm very jealous that you got to hang out at the Idol rehearsals. I'm kinda boycotting because Chris is gone, but we won't get into that.

As always, much love Mandy.

Very exciting. I know the album will be awesome and you will quickly find a label that will support your release.
Also, congrats on Southland premiering at Cannes. I've been obsessing to no end over this film. I'm ignoring the negative reviews (they're not all negative, thank God) because I know that it will be the best movie of 2006.

As always take care and continued happiness Mandy!

Hey Mandy,

I'm new to My Space so sorry if I cock it up...


Gutted about the album :(

I totally understand why you had to follow your heart and stand your ground about the direction of the album, and to be honest I'm shocked that your record companies don't seem to be treating you well, when you're so talented and an absolute star. Coverage is one of my top 3 albums of all time (and believe me, I have hundreds of albums!!). Also I loved the 'Hey' demo on your site and was excited about hearing the final version.


But hey, it'll come good in the end - everything happens for a reason. Stay happy :D Looking forward to the new films!


lots of love

Bec xoxo
