Friends!
I’m excited to let y’all know that I’ve decided to use “y’all” on a regular basis instead of “you all.” Wait…that’s not why I’m writing this blog…

Oh yeah! Guess what? I’m coming on tour to the East Coast! I’ll be playing DC, Baltimore, DC again, Philly, and New York. All of these places have a special place in my heart, including all of the people I have met/hope to meet there, so please check out the SHOWS section and do come to one…and bring friends! The more the merrier on this Annie Bethancourt train of folk.

To wet your whistle a little bit for the new songs I’ll be bringing through town, here’s a brand spankin’ new tune I wrote about a dude. He ended up not giving me the time of day (that’s another song entirely), but at least I got this song out of it and was able to play it a lovely friend’s wedding. LOVE IS REAL, PEOPLE!

As always, feel free to share, tweet, Facebook, smoke signal this video, and the songs I’ve got up at BANDCAMP. You guys are my manager, PR, and record label rolled into one big ball of awesome, and your support and hype would mean the world to me.

XO,
AB

Hey Friends,

Just wanted to keep you up-to-date on the new album, Skeleton Bones, that will be released SOON. Unfortunately, my super talented producer Dallas Kruse came down with Mono (in other news, every girl who wants to lose 10 pound now hates him), so we’re having to play it by ear and make sure he takes care of himself and gets healthy!

We’re about 80% done with the album, and you can listen to some of the tracks we’re working on by checking out the Kickstarter page.

Thanks for all your love and support!

A few months ago, Kim Kardashian posted a photo on Instagram. I mean, I’m sure she’s posted more pictures since then, but this one was drama.

She was naked, a thing that most people manage to do every day without finding it offensive or traumatizing, but whatever. Mrs. Kanye West is taking a selfie in the mirror, black-ed out “edit” bars covering her hmm-hmms and her uh-huh, and it’s basically like she’s wearing a skimpy bikini except…um…well it’s almost exactly like she’s wearing a skimpy bikini.

But suddenly there’s this huge debate online: Did KK go too far with her pic? Does she hate feminism? How could she insult us normal bodied human females this way with her obviously glorious rack?

Look, I get it. Maybe you don’t want people to see your bits. Maybe you don’t want to see other people’s bits. I went to a music festival and walked into the sauna not realizing it was clothing optional and DAMN were there a lot of sneak-attack dongs my eyes were not prepared for. But, regardless, I got over it, because bodies are the flesh-bag vessels that our souls are cruising around in, and basically everyone has one, and I don’t really see what the big deal is.
