Sunday, November 06, 2005 B-Rate Musician There are two theme songs for independent musicians. One is Dan Vaillancourt's "Play for You," which talks about being a musician and the resulting piles of money: "but sometimes a poor man can give more than a man born with a silver spoon." The other is Kara Kulpa's "B-Rate Musician." She sang it at both of the Indiegrrl shows she played with me last weekend, and after the Chicago performance I couldn't get it out of my head. I'm a B-rate musician Living in a C-rate apartment Living on bagels and coffee And a little bit of hope I leave out my hand for anyone who can Spare some gas and get me past this life I emailed her and mentioned how the song was stuck in my head--one of the first things I did when I got home late Wednesday night after traveling back to Ann Arbor via the hour-late train and spending a few hours recording the rest of the guitar parts for the upcoming full-length was pop her CD into my player and play the song repeatedly--and she thought it was hilarious. Especially because she woke up the day before singing, "Take me awaaay...." (Along those lines: at this point, Shelley, Kristy, and I have heard each others' songs so often that we've been singing pieces of them as we wander around town as well.) Kara's going to be making her Michigan debut on December 16th as part of the Shattered Light Concert Series at the Chapel Coffeehouse in Ann Arbor. The coolest part about booking a venue is getting to introduce others to good music. If you're in the area, stop by and check her out. ^ Top | 12:05 AM | | |
