Lady Ginseng - where two worlds collide

Tidbits of my scientific and musical work, and random things of interest.

Keeping tabs because I have no idea where my future will take me... whether I'll pick music or science.

The last of three articles on the band, when we were making headlines in Montreal. This time, it’s in a Montreal paper that’s comparable to the New York Times; it’s an interview with the whole band at the very last rehearsal before our big show. In truth, none of us said any of the things that were “quoted” from us. Heh. And they spelled my last name wrong, based on a mistake from a TV interview the night before. Oh well. ;)

Happy Holidays!!!

p.s. This one’s PG-13… Just FYI.

The second of three articles on the band, when we were making news. This time, it’s from the viewpoint of the band’s leader.

A lab colleague finally found some dirt on my musical life in Montreal… and he’s having a ball. So while walking down memory lane, I thought I’d post the first of 3 articles that were written while the band was making news. [And in each of them, misquotes abound :) ].

We ran very long (about 90 minutes straight), so “the powers that be” cut our closing number, which would have been a straight cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” going into a dance mix with Shannon’s “Let the Music Play” plus a return to the Adele chorus. A few friends requested it backstage after the party was over, so this is our “acapella” version, complete with my shredded voice, me forgetting the lyrics since it was past 1am, me yelling at someone to come over (which gets interpreted as an open invitation to unknown partygoers), a radiator as a kick drum, and sung keyboards parts (around 3:10 or so)…

Christian B works hard to sing DobaCaracol’s “Anda” in the our fourth and final foreign language: Sénoufo from the Ivory Coast…

Anna Z sings The Police’s “Roxanne” over a bossa and then a dancehall feel… and the feel changes into reggae for more singing (just before the clip ends). Apparently Chantale N and I are still having too much fun, despite the fact that we’re melting under those lights!
