Think Like A Man

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:31:00 -0400

Hey! My song “You Come Around” from my new LP I Want What You Want is gonna be in the new movie Think Like A Man which opens tonight all over the U S A. Gotta say I’m pretty psyched to have my song in a movie that also features music from James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Beyonce, Luther Vandross and Al Green!

Have a great weekend!

Cheap Tunes

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:49:43 -0400

I Want What You Want is on sale for $3.99 over at Bandcamp. That’s like 30 cents per tune. A BARGAIN. this picture below is from our last show on tour in Pittsburgh and is completely unrelated to the Bandcamp thing. That is all, all is this.

Free stuff!

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:38:28 -0400

For the remainder of March, when you buy anything from the Kiam Records webstore and or the JO’C Bandcamp page, we will send you a free JO’C t-shirt or totebag (while supplies last). We’ll email you after your order to get your size/choice, etc.

TCB,

Durham, NC

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:34:25 -0500

Sitting in the lobby of a hotel in Durham, waiting to go to dinner then play a show. Touring is crazy - I had forgotten how much so. I went running for the first time in 3 weeks today and it felt like a million bucks. Tom and Michael and Jon are out looking at guitars. Alexa went swimming. This little girl just ran up to me and tried to steal my diet coke. Life is funny and I am happy.

Parenthood

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:50:43 -0500

Hearing a song of mine - with me singing it - on a TV show is pretty thrilling. This one (which I think may very well be my best song) was on the NBC show Parenthood tonight.

Happy.

We are currently recording our debut LP with Josh Meakim (A Sunny Day in Glasgow). It will be very good.

We have three SHOWS lined up so far this winter. One is part of Ladyfest Boston and two are local, where we’ll be supporting Jennifer O’Connor (NYC) and Woollen Kits (Australia).

Listen to me talk to Daniel Ralston for the new, hard-hitting Low Times podcast.

Other guests on this episode include Georgia Hubley from my former label mates and current pals, Yo La Tengo and Dan Friel from Parts & Labor. I used to work with Dan at the Knitting Factory, in what seems like decades ago. Oh wait, that’s because it was.

I Want What You Want Vinyl + CD + Tour Dates

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:20:32 -0500

Hello and Happy New Year friends!

Before I bombard you with information, please look at this pretty photo of the sky I took this week:

Ok, on to biz.

I’m writing to let you know a few things.

1. A cd (digipack) and vinyl (WHITE WAX) version of I Want What You Want will be in stores on March 6, 2012. Both will be available for pre-order in the Kiam store too at some point in the near future (will let you know). The limited edition, hand-stamped cds are available now in the Kiam Store. The record is available digitally everywhere now too, including at Amazon on sale all month for $5, Bandcamp, iTunes, and Emusic. Don’t forget about Spotify! where everything is free, free, free.

2. You can also stream the record for free here and embed any track you like on you personal blog/facebook/whatever. This is encouraged! http://soundcloud.com/jenniferoconnor/sets/jennifer-oconnor-i-want-what/

3. I’m super excited to release these upcoming MARCH TOUR DATES!

Most dates are with Tim Foljahn whose record is also coming out on March 6 on Kiam. He is super awesome and you will love his record if you aren’t already familiar with his particular brand of genius.
