The Dream Lives On

I don't care if there aren't that many Wilson Phillips fans nowadays. I am still a devoted listener. And as these 3 women (Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, Chynna Phillips) leave their 30's behind, there is no doubt that they still sound brilliant and look so good for their age.

I went down south this weekend with Lounging Eater and Solo5 to see WP perform and hearing them sing live sounds as if you are listening to HD radio. They have this wonderful harmonizing sound like no other. It was just so awesome!

The chance to meet them was a huge highlight as well. Another highlight was Chynna's husband, William Baldwin. He was cool to approach and was probably the loudest "fan" in the whole place. Not to mention his gorgeousness.

All in all, SQUEE!!!!

No Pomegranate

Today went by really fast. I got little drummer girl ready and off to school this morning and chatted a bit on facebook. I went for a haircut and deep condition in San Fran and then I went to return a sweater @ the Gap. Had some work issues come up (on my day off) and went to Target for some goldfish crackers. But no pomegranate 7up in sight. Goose said Safeway.

Twilight came out late last night. How was it?

I'm still achy.

The Dream Is Still Alive

How excited am I that Wilson Phillips will be reuniting for two shows later this month in Southern California? Well, I'm very very excited. It's a SQUEEEEEEEE moment for me. And probably only me. And my one friend who also liked them back in the day.

When I was told that they'd be in Palm Springs (Nov. 22) and LA (Nov. 23), I was like stone faced. Could I really have the chance, after all this time, to see them perform live? And with Chynna Phillips! I knew that sisters Carnie Wilson & Wendy Wilson were doing small gigs here and there but then Wendy did a radio interview last month and confirmed that all 3 members would do a few shows to see how it goes. And they'll be doing another album next year!

Wendy released 4 tracks on iTunes recently and it's purely dance music. It's something she collaborated on with her husband.

I'm glad Wilson Phillips is continuing. Music changes so much but their sound is so timeless.

Where Art Thou Wilson Phillips?

Yes, I listen to alternative music. Yes, I listen to freestyle music. Yes, I listen to mainstream pop music. I also listen to indie alternative and some R&B. But if anyone knows me well, my favorite musical act of all time has gots to be Wilson Phillips (Carnie & Wendy Wison and childhood pal Chynna Phillips). Don't laugh and don't ask me why.

I never got to see them live. The closest was when they were opening up for Richard Marx and I proudly made my dad buy me tickets. Then BAH! The show was canceled! And then they disbanded a couple of years later. Double BAH!

When they broke up, their friendship soured and I was acrushed. When they reunited in 2004, I was ecstatic. They did an album of cover songs from their youth and it did moderately medium. They were even planning to go on tour. I had already secured a friend (Buster) to accompany me because no one else I knew was remotely interested. And I think Buster only agreed because years ago, she upset me when we went into Amoeba, I think, and she refused to buy their first disc.....for $0.99!!!

During the album promoting, Wendy and Chynna revealed they were preggers. And then they disappeared again! And then Carnie had a baby. And then, Wendy got pregnant again and delivered twins! My chances of seeing them live became slim to none! BAH again!

Fast forward to the present. Wendy and her family appeared on Super Nanny and I thought she was supposed to release a CD of dance music. She and Carnie did a little bit of touring but I don't know that they are still active. They were doing casinos, I think.

And Chynna relocated her family with Billy Baldwin from New York to Los Angeles so he can film his TV series, Dirty Sexy Money, which is set in New York. The couple recently hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama @ their Santa Barbara residence. They raised $58,000 and here's the kicker; Chynna supposedly sang a set from her new album. New album? Solo album? What about the Wilson's? Naked and Sacred, Part II?

Wilson Phillips. Very harmonious...

End thought.
