Day 17: February 15th, 2010
Annie Wenz 

   Annie’s songs are “remarkable both for the lyrical insights she presents as well as for the deliciously eclectic way in which she offers them. Annie sings about our loves, passions & fears, about travel, spirit, & her own experiences such as working as a registered psychiatric nurse, bungee jumping 150 feet off a bridge with her guitar on her back or climbing an erupting volcano in Costa Rica. As a multi-instrumentalist with a love for American & world roots music, & good ol classic Rock, Annie is known for her unique way of blending textures & funky instrumentation.  "Ride" her most recent single was recorded with Grammy award winning producer Ben Wisch and is available at www.CDbaby.com

Annie hasn't sent me a recording yet, but here are her Lyrics!

"ROSES & CANDY HEART PARADES"
Annie Wenz- Feb 15th 2010

FRONT DOOR STUCK OPEN. WORN OUT & SPLINTERED WHERE I LEAN
LACE CURTAINS SMOKE STAINED UGLY
I’M SICK OF ROSES & CANDY HEART PARADES.

ALLEY DOGS SCRAPE SCRAPPIN. CATS ARE HOWLIN, SCRATCHIN SORRY TUNES
MOON DRIPS DRY EYED WHILE I CURSE AN ALL NIGHT STAR
SICK OF ROSES & CANDY HEART PARADES.

HEELS ARE WALKING OFF MY FEET A PACIN
CLOCK IS THUNDER TICKIN THRU MY BRAIN
MY MOUTH IS DUSTY ACHIN LIKE A CACTUS
FROM BEGGIN FOR YOUR DROPS OF MUDDY RAIN

OLD BLUES IN A PUDDLE, SPLASHIN CIRCLES ROUND A BOTTLE OF JIM BEAM
BLACK COFFEE STILL BITTER WITH FIVE HEAPS OF SUGAR
I’M SICK OF ROSES & CANDY HEART PARADES.

NO PAINTED CHERRY LIPS ON LETTERS SEALED WITH SPITTY KISS
NO DIAMONDS OR FOREVERS ON YOUR KNEES
EVERYBODY ELSE IS FILTHY DECKED IN FLOWERS
MY LONELY SATIN SHEETS ARE FLITHY CLEAN

YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE A STRANGER,
IN OUR PHOTO PIECES RIPPED UP ON THE FLOOR
YOU ATE UP ALL MY HUNGER
I’M SICK OF ROSES & CANDY HEART PARADES.

Timmy Riordan

     Timmy has been called ‘the hidden gem” of the Somerville/Cambridge music scene. In February 2009 he wrote and posted 28 songs on his website. This year he’s doing it again.  He has also decided there should be 8 day in a week (in honor of the Beatles of course) and has invited 32 of his songwriting friends to support him through the month by each writing a song themselves. Over the last summer he recorded 8 of those songs on a CD entitled “Peter Let Me In.” Each CD includes an original cover, hand-drawn just for you in Sharpie by Timmy. Proceeds from this hand-crafted album are all going directed to the making of “New York’s Ignoring Me” his next studio album to be released in summer of 2010.
