One week from today my favorite boys and I are getting on a plane and flying very far to reunite with the sweet people of Australia. You must know the love is true for me to fly that far because I hate flying (especially over oceans) and this will be the furthest I have ever been from Panda EVER. I better get to pet a koalakangaroodolphin and duet with Bindi Irwin. Mmmmmmhmmmmm...

Great American Music Hall

Sun, 27 Feb 2011 18:41:39 GMT

Friday night was "A Night With Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson" at Great American Music Hall, as a part of Noise Pop Festival in SF. As usual I had some friends join me onstage for certain songs. As Clyde Petersen (Your Heart Breaks) was walking offstage someone yelled "Was that a dude or a girl?" Then Dave End danced in a princess dress & I heard some chins hit the floor. Then Malcolm Rollick sang with me looking like queer Raggedy Andy. They all came back up to dance with me, Aesop Rock, and Rob Sonic, Jeremy Fish, and Alex Pardee for the big Tits Up finale.

Of course there were some people who were like "WHAT THE FUCK?!" There is a lot of homophobia (and folkaphobia) in the hip hop community and I just need to give MAJOR props to Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, and DJ Big Wiz for being such good guys and having the balls to not only invite me to share a stage with them but to let the show erupt into a colorful queer spectacle in front of their fans and let that be NORMAL and not a mockery of queer culture. What that shows young people (and old people) in the hip hop community is groundbreaking and takes huge balls.

Standing up against homophobia by just letting gayness be a regular part of reality is powerful. Letting people see that they don't have to be reduced to a label or a box or a genre is also powerful.

My friends are fucking rad and are changing the way people see things.

The show was fun, but it was so much more than that.

It was a mighty force of love and acceptance.

Sat, 18 Dec 2010 03:54:05 GMT

Holy crud. We just got back from France yesterday and I am flying to the Bay Area tomorrow. I decided I wouldn't let the jetlag get me this time so I have been engaged in a very aggressive battle against my desire to collapse. I am just like a zombie. I haven't been a zombie since I worked in that haunted house in '96. I haven't wanted to be a zombie. Not for any Thriller re-enactments. Not for any zombie mall walks. Not for any hipster zombie film projects. Mariah Carey knocked the zombie out of me for 14 years. But the zombie is back. I am the walking dead. Not cool zombie. Not scary zombie. Simply walking dead. Actually sitting. I am the sitting dead. But I am not going to sleep. Fuck you sleep.
So for the next few hours I will be making Kimya Dawson Loves Me shirts and painting panda totes. I was going to make shirts at the show, but I am not sure there will be time for making shirts AND multiple costume changes AND a dance party hugfest. So I am going to draw as many shirts tonight as possible. I think it has been 5 years since I have drawn adorable boner giraffe. Might be time to bring that guy back.
I miss you boner giraffe!!!!
I am so excited for this show. It is crazy. Dave End, Pablo Das, AND Your Heart Breaks?! How is that much goodness in one place even possible?!
The combination of 2 weeks of cheese, being super excited, and then stress of traveling has caused my face to erupt into a giant red bumpy terrain. According to Susan Sarandon and Ellen Degeneres there is some shit I could smear all over my face so you would have no idea but my love of adventure and the stinky blues have left their marks and it feels like a badge. I earned these rashy cheeks. The ones on both end. Kiss my bumpy ass.
Shit I am tired. I don't even know what I am talking about.
Oh yeah, I thought of making an LJ entree tonight to let you know that I am a contributer to a really cool blog. It is http://900bats.com There is a pretty awesome video there now that will help you get to know me better.
I am seriously not falling asleep right now.
I am totally fine.
Kimya whatchoo talkin bout? blerghy bloop erp.

old friends

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:34:11 GMT

hello pretty babies, mama is here!!!

i just want to say that it is good to know that so many of you are still around. i stopped writing regularly when i felt like panda was getting to an age where i didn't feel so comfortable making her life so public. that will be up to her someday. when i started to feel like all i was doing was being her mama, so i didn't have much else to write about. we just weaned right before her 4th birthday! zoinks! now i have all this other stuff going on and i have been using the twitter but if you guys know me you know that i am not the shortest winded of ladies. so yeah.

hi.

i have a four year old.

by wednesday my new album, thunder thighs, will be done. totally recorded mixed, DONE. then i just need to do the cover art and it will be out on K Records early summer! i am super proud of it. soooo many of my bestest peeps are all over it. it is insane. it starts with a song i wrote 8 1/2 months pregnant. slow and steady you know? i am really excited for you all to hear it.

i also have this new insane duo with Aesop Rock called Precious Bros! we are working on an album and have 6 songs that boggle my mind. i have this berkeley show on sunday and then next month i am doing a west coast tour with defiance ohio!!! in march i am going to do a tour with paleface and pablo das.

i feel like doing shit!!! i want to make musics and play and be out and about. i want to go on waterslides and swim in the sea.

all you mamas know about the cloud right? i think the sky is clearing and i feel less crazy. i feel more like myself. i am inspired and excited about things. it is a shame they don't tell mamas about the cloud. and a lot of us don't even know what is happening until it starts to clear.

and it isn't even necessarily post partum depression, but just a cloud. a difference. i didn't even notice what it was until panda was past 3.

i feel good though. getting there at least.

better. little bit of sunshine.

been off sugar and wheat again. this time since early july. it makes a big difference. been dipping my toes back into multiple 12 step programs and dabbling with mindfulness meditation and taking swimming lessons. I am actually getting the hang of butterfly. by the time i am 50 i want to be swim team ready. swimming is so good for my soul. swim to save my soul, right?

i "read" the audiobook of Codependent No More and realized how much of a rescuer i have been my whole life. i have been trying to focus more on my own self care and less on saving everyone else.

i still love you all and care about you but i had been neglecting me. so now i am trying to be good to me and do what i need to do to be healthy. in and out.

getting there.

slow and steady.

yup.

so i will start coming around more. on this LJ and hopefully in person. i want to draw you a shirt. i want to play in your backyard. i want some galldarned hugs.

you will hug me won't you?

thanks.

i have missed all you sexy losers. a lot.

so i am back.

I get a lot of messages from people who feel the need to emphasize that they liked me "before Juno". I get a lot of people insulting the fans who only heard of me from Juno. And I get a surprisingly large amount of people asking me if it annoys me that there are all these new "fake fans" because of Juno. I decided to respond to this issue, as I respond to most issues, in musical form. Here's the live debut of "Check Your Snob at The Door" by my soft-rap persona Rerun Rainbowmagnets Steinway...
