Meet Ms. Shay
November 24th, 2009
You might have heard me play with the le duo. You probably saw me working at Scribbles. (weep) And if you were out shaking what your momma gave yah to Beach Fossils/Prince Rama of Ayodhya in October or Birthdays/Maui this month, (both shows included the amazing tooth ache and parmaga) you definitely saw me because I put those bad boys together.
My name is Ginevra and this is the preliminary post to WARMTONES, my weekly contribution to purepoponline. Next weeks inaugural entry will start you off with my winter mix, which you can check out from 9pm-11pm on Wednesday, December 2nd at 105.9FM or stream live on http://www.theradiator.org/
Each subsequent week will bring an interview, album review, profile on a musician or show write-up. I’m really excited about this. It’s my hope that along with write-ups on recent releases and touring shows, WARMTONES will be a great resource on local and rising bands.
Unfortunately I only exist in Pure Pop’s cyberspace, ie – you won’t catch me nursing a hang over while slinging the latest hit record from the caverns of Pure Pop’s shop. I can usually be found working for Frog Hollow, a non-profit space that houses art and fine crafts by Vermont artists, or at UVM where I’m double majoring in Studio Art and Art History.
Keep up with my various artistic endeavors here
Check out what I’m listening to here
Drop me a line or join me in raging it on the dance floor next time you see me.
Catch you next week for the latest edition of WARMTONES.

@ Gaz – What is your problem?
@ Ginevra – this is great and I look forward to it.

Burlington’s experimental pop scene is definitely thriving right now, and Ginevra is the perfect person to cover it. Looking forward to future posts!
P.S.– A Lawrence Welks & Our Bear To Cross interview could be a fun read…..

I love Freddie Mercury + John! Of course! Total babes, and they put on a fantastic show.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before one of these narcissistic hipster types started writing for the Pure Pop blog. Until I read otherwise, I’ll be left with an unpleasant image of this girl flailing around without rhythm to some irrelevant and gimmicky band with a six month shelf-life.
Like we really need more updates on some backroom show played by some nasally college dudes in ugly sweaters that not so secretly wish they could be the Beach Boys. I can’t wait for this fad to end.

It’s Burlington, most likely, if someone wasn’t at a show (college party with more art students), they didn’t want to be.

Not really sure what the issue is here…just like any other column on this blog, someone is writing about a genre of music that they’re interested in. What’s the problem?
Personally, I’m not really a fan of indie pop. I don’t buy indie pop albums and I don’t go to indie pop shows. It’s just not my thing. But a lot of other people do, and I don’t find a need to condemn them or stereotype them simply for liking the type of music they listen to. Glass houses, stones, etc.
Quite frankly, throwing around personal insults at someone you’ve never even met & hiding behind an anonymous username is not only childish but it’s cowardly as well. And if you find yourself to be so far above this type of music, at least have the guts to explain exactly what kind of grandly esoteric (or more likely, generically bland) types of music you value.
Simple concept: if you don’t have something nice to say, just shut your fucking mouth.

I just find you one of the most fabulously interesting women! Keep it up and you know I’m right there with you darlin’!
LOVE IT!

Wow – read the comment from ‘bored’ – is there a reason that someone has to put so much energy into being bitchy?- guess it’s easier when you don’t look at someone face-to-face. Hey- you follow your own drummer -so to speak and stop wasting the space on this blog.

@bored:
I suppose it was only a matter of time before this blog got invaded by comments from douchebags like you. Until I read otherwise, I’ll be left with an unpleasant image of some bored unwashed imbecile sitting in his underwear writing bad things about good people because he doesn’t have any real friends to hang out with.
Like we really need more comments from people who think they know everything but haven’t got a clue. I can’t wait for THAT fad to end, (but it seems to keep on going.)
Most likely, you don’t know Ginevra, ’cause if you did, you wouldn’t be writing unpleasant diatribes.
(Authors note: Yes, I know that in writing this parody I’m just as bad as “bored”, but I’m having a bit of fun at his/her/it’s expense. So there.

And you must be a troll. Good night.
