BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED AT WWW.MELODYGARDOT.COM
Ugh!!! Thats a good thing though. It means you guys are all logging onto the site and checking for updates. Great! What it means though is I have to post an update here instead so you can see it!

So here goes: Tonight, Tune into BBC2 Television at 10PM LONDON TIME to watch me Live on Later with Jools Holland. The band joins in....and I got goosebumps already. The set is unbelievable....so get your TIVO's ready. :) Find out more info here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/later/


Mellow- Yellow:

Went over to the Jools Holland TV show today to soundcheck and prep for the broadcast tomorrow. I found this dress here in London and the shoes and sweater in LA. Im not only combining unusual color schemes, Ive gone all out and brought geographic regions together.....so fashion forward. Banana yellow is the new black. You heard it here first.

The show is going to be amazing...some great acts, a great set and amazing host-as you know!
Were performing two songs, Sweet Memory and Worrisome Heart. Make sure you tune in in the UK! BBC2!! 10PM!!!

Travel Ready

So in traveling overseas for a month, I discovered that there are a few things I cant live without...at least not if Im looking to live comfortably...well maybe more "live eccentrically".

1. Derby/Porkpie hat
2. Really Raw Honey
3. Seda France Citron Du Sud Candles
4. San-J Instant Miso Soup
5. Aura Cacia Bath sats
6. BCBG flats (these save my feet!)
7. Maroma Amber Incense
8. Neutrogena Lip Gloss
9. Boiron Homeopathic Remedies
10. Aura Cacia Lavender Oil

OH! and a sneaky little number 11......Sea Gift Korean Kim (for when Im dying of a hunger attack). So much for being low maintenance.

Three words:

1. Greenscreen
2. Rooftop
3. Couture

We're working on a video for the song "goodnite". I'll have more info soon....but those three words and that little pic give you the clues you need to figure out what its all about.....

Cane do?? I lost citizen cane for about 20 minutes today. I dont think it was any kind of conspiracy, rather that the next door neighbor was auditioning for the part of Willie Wonka and needed it for his entrance scene when you first see the Purple Velvet Jacketed creature exit his factory. If you recall he makes his first introduction to the crowd with a hobble and a slow stroll then does a front flip and a chorus of "ooohhs" and "aaaaaahs" explode from lines of spectators awaiting his first phrase.

Not only do I appear to have lost my cane...my arm too...(believe me THAT wasnt stolen). But the cane did disappear. To my surprise when I awoke my cane was not beside my bed with breakfast on a tray and a good morning muffin-its usual way of awakening me. I slipped my feet into my slippers and hobbled a few feet looking for a trace of its existence but found nothing. As I pondered the whereabouts of said Citizen I noticed there was a remarkable shine to the floors beneath my badly beaten bunny flops. The wood glimmered with the morning sun and suddenly my senses were assaulted with the thickened taste of lemon. Not real lemon, chemical lemon. Pine sol? No pledge maybe.......no Lysol. (tsk) Definitely Lysol. As my neck turned the corner to peer out the bedroom door, there standing - rather leaning- before me was Citizen Cane, placed in sterility amongst the other newly cleaned surfaces. His neck an effervescent glow of sterilization. His handle pristinely shined so that my reflection in the tip nearly made me flinch in momentary fear of spectre. Citizen Cane was no longer my finely fingerprinted friend. In a mere moment of slumber he was lost in a sea of dust bunnies. Scooped up in his prime. Taken away from me without warning. The cleaning lady had come.

(Too bad she couldnt fix the door on the heater).
