The Grammy's!! Even with her crazy outfits and bizarre makeup, Lady Gaga is an unbelievable performer. Her performance with Sir Elton John at the beginning of the Grammy's Sunday night was truly spectacular. I love that she pushes the limits and makes her fans rethink the notion of pop music. Okay, I have to mention Taylor Swift; while I love her, she was totally off vocally. Could it be that she really can't sing? I'd love to hear from all of you - tell me what you think!
The one CD I have been listening to over and over again is The Fame Monster, the newest release from Lady Gaga. On each track she sounds like someone else which makes for a record that you can listen to time and time again. If you don't have it yet, I would really go out and get it.

Top 3 dreams this month
1. swimming with my dad while he explains how he will be island hopping by holding onto a rope tied to a cruse ship. While he starts his journey I float off in my sleeping bag across the water to a suburban island. A friend of mine joins me and breaks into a house where two little kids live. There father comes out and thinks I'm there to purchase porn. The real porn buyer shows up behind me and I back away and join the blacks down by the docks where we dance and drink while a live band plays the blues.
2. While walking along the sidewalk of a large city, possibly new york, I am with three beautiful women. A carnival is passing bye. The carnival consists mostly of rocker kids in punk get ups on top of burned out cars playing trashy music and showing off there peacock feathers. One of the cars makes a harsh turn and the band on the roof falls to the street but continue to play.
3. There is a head that is inside of another head and we all walk outside of a pair of eyes that is the backdrop to a theaters stage. The audience are in penguin suits. Everything empties out and I am standing alone in what once was an active beautiful theater but now looks as if it has burned down in the 1920's.

Top 3 recent visions
1. There is a man who is following me. He is not part of this world. I've most recently seen him in my basement, at a close friends house in portland, and the most pronounced appearance was at 4 am at the Gingerbread House in San Jose CA the day after Halloween where he walked up to me and vanished.
2. There is a doorway inside of my basement. I've only seen it once. It opened in the center of my room and someone's shadow closed it.
3. The week following my DMT experience a white haired goat creature began peeking into my window. He has not been seen I spoke about him.

So are the rest of you swooning over the new Ipod as much as I am? I know that my parents are going to freak if I spend my babysitting money on another gadget...but I love the fact that you can take video with it and listen to the radio.
What are you guys listening to? I have to admit that I have become totally obsessed with the remixed Beatles masters. Between all of the re-releases and Rock Band, I feel a bit like I am living in the 60s. Of course, my parents are so psyched that I am actually listening to music they like.
Our friends over at In Music We Trust (you guys rock!) sent us some cool new sounds from Rachel Taylor Brown, a cool singer/songwriter from Portland, Oregon. Her new album, Susan Storm's Ugly Sister and Other Saints and Superheroes," is a wild and wacky exploration of female power...perfect for us Heart of Gold Girls.
Another band I am rockin' to is Jonesin' - a great sound and an indie feel.
Want to get ahold of some free music? Tell us in fifty words or less why music is important in your life and we just might surprise you with three CDs from some hot new bands.
