Extended interview with Lesley on AfterEllen.com, with another one of my shots from the "Ever Since" shoot.

Hey - I learned stuff.

Lesley is in Time Out New York's "Hot Seat" this week. Back page, with a great animation of the cover of the record, and some insight into the new record. She's really good at being interviewed. That's a whole separate talent.

Lesley hit the Joey Reynolds show this past Tuesday, which will be running over the weekend, and then replaying one more time late Sunday. She was hilarious, reminiscing with Joey about DJs, promoters, artists past and present. Joey loves the record, and likened her to Astrud Gilberto and Rosemary Clooney.

Lesley just completed an interview with USA Today for a piece that should be coming out in the near future.

She also finished a Q&A with Le Tigre's Kathleen Hanna for Ms. magazine, for their autumn issue. I took the shots. Wild.

Lots going on...

Taped Pete Fornatale's "Mixed Bag Radio" today, in the Gibson Showroom, which used to be the Hit Factory. The four of us picked up Carolyn Eufrasio from Shimmerplanet as a backup singer, and I think it went off great. Lesley was, of course, funny as hell, too.

segment one:
Ever Since (live)
It's My Party (original recording)
Not The First (live)

segment two:
You Don't Own Me (live)
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (from "When Pigs Fly" -- I'd played "You Shook Me All Night Long" when I was featured on the show, so Pete thought it was amazing that she's recorded AC/DC, too)
Someday (live)

segment three:
Out Here On My Own (Lesley solo piano, awesome)
California Nights (original recording)
It's Gone (live)

It should air in September.
