TOMORROW 4PM: 'Chrysalis' 25: SECRETS
"You're only as sick as your secrets" - uncredited 12-step slogan

Hey Hartlist,
Looking forward to tomorrow afternoon's 'Chrysalis' set: the SECRETS episode! For the first time, I outsourced the quasi-theme of the show, but I don't think that either I or my friend who suggested it could have predicted quite how on-point it would be. As usual I'll be both reinterpreting my own songs and looking for covers that explore this word. What is a secret? Shame - "this makes me unacceptable". Denial - "Maybe if I just pretend it's not true/there, it'll go away". Fear - "but if you knew this you wouldn't love me/ you'd fire me/write mean tweets about me" etc. Have you ever read 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed?' That book kept me up for days.
Anyway it certainly won't be all dark (secret crushes! secret magic powers!)
See you tomorrow at 4PM on @$%ing Facebook. If you can't make the show, I (nearly) always post them on my youtube channel afterwards.
Where, btw, once I reach 1000 subscribers I willl be allowed to livestream from my mobile device. So, subscribe! Or tell a friend! AND in a couple of weeks I will be venturing into LIVE livestream territory with one of my bandmates! Stay tuned.
