Hello to everyone out in Anabelcentral land!  How's your summer goin? 

Thought I would let you know that a 'Hatchling' just popped up on the music page.  Don't let the name fool you though, it's quite large.

If you get a second, write me an email and let me know where you're listening from.  I'd love to hear from you.. yes, you!

Hope you had a nice 123456 day!

There's some new songs on the block to help you celebrate.

Check out Stabbin and Big Start.

Whaddup, world?

Up goes 'Bang Bang Bang'.  It's a little somethin I did for my homey Maria, for her song of a similar title.

Check you soon.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Please enjoy 'The Junction'.   I hope it makes you dance, even if it's just in your head.

'Trashcan' has been built as a basement addition to 'Turnstyle'. 

It's the story of a day in the life of a trashcan: from proud and freshly bagged to the incessant and burdensome day on the job.  At the end of the day, our hero is de-baged by the trashtruck, and left spent and weary.  In spite of this, another day will soon begin.

'Turnstyle' is up, and goin out special to the one and only Mikey D.

Another Super Furries show, another pivot point in life.  Diolch yn fawr, SFA!

Apartment-not-up-to-code scoreboard: 34 days!

Hope you're all excited for the advent of a new musical genre, about to take place here:  landlord-hate.

Why don't you check out some familiar Anabel tunes set to pretty pictures right over here?

Also, does anyone want an Anabel album?

Email's at the top of the screen.

Jeepers creepers, this place is starting to look abandoned, isn't it?

It's not though.

I just moved into a new place, and it's taking a bit longer than expected to get settled.  Got this real douchebag of a landlord who doesn't want to make the place carbon monoxide free.

Just so you know, though, ABC is alive and well.  Hope you are too. 

Haro!

Enjoy a little change of pace with "Clavethoven".  For those interested in source materials, come hither.

Move it old stuff!  We got new stuff!  "Dork Dance" and "Sug Sug" are up. 

"Sug Sug" is pronounced however you say Gus Gus backwards. So I guess it sounds like the beginning of the name "Sigourney".

Jesus, could that have taken any fucking longer?  My bad, everyone. 

"Low Brow" and "Windy Beat" for that ass.  Totally not worth that long a wait, but it's something.

Here's what the country looks like:  one  two  three

Hang tight, Centralites!  Anabel's moving out to the country.

New buildings next week!  Hope you're all well.

How's it goin, internet?

During the past couple of weeks, I've had a number of realizations about the many conveniences (and vices) that keep me propped up on a daily basis.

As the saying goes: you don't know what you got till it's broken.

We are all but fragile individuals, made powerful by the presence of others: neighbors and friends, strangers and family alike.

Then again, sometimes we're made weaker by them too.

Life, you are truly a rascal of the highest order.  Hats off to you, sir.

Which do you prefer: the journey or the destination?

 

Has that always been your answer?

Work it, summer!

Two songs to farmer-tan to today, "Construction Beat" and "Love Hertz".

Over the weekend, I saw some of the latest in techtainment.  Here are a couple of pictures of the future.  One  Two  Three

Three cheers for WFMU!  It's been doing it's part to uphold the genre-blind principles of freeform radio for quite some time.  And these days, thanks to everyone's best friend, it sits at the forefront of what radio can be.

Don't forget to add their blog to your favorites.  Who knows, maybe little Anabel will hit the big time with them someday. 

If you have a minute, read these inspiring words from none other than Willy Wonka himself.

Also, the ol inbox hasn't seen a lot of action lately.  Click on that address at the top, and say hello!

At long last, the news media in America is starting to feel that fire raging under its feet.

Take a breather, satirists.

I think we're gonna make it after all.

In honor of oppressive summer (almost) days that make one want to avoid direct sunlight and all physical movement, please welcome the lazy "Tree Beat" to the block.

Sorry it's so quiet.  I'll try and louden er up.  Maybe get aquainted with headphones for the time being, eh?

Hope you enjoy..

Stay cool.

Howdy partners.  First, big ups to ABC's only known daily-visitor Molina on his lastest gig.  I hope Florida treats you better than this one, my man.

 

I've got a fun place for you to go if you feel like having a quiet evening in tonight.

Visit Colleen.

 

On the other hand, if it's a full-on catharsis you're looking for, proceed this way.
