I’ve been busy.

My cello has had a mind of it’s own lately & I’ve had to spend some time acquir­ing super­pow­ers to keep up with it. How­ever, these efforts have begun to bear fruit, and I am very will­ing to share it’s sticky good­ness with all of you.

I am still work­ing on my solo album, and I’m also play­ing in a band.
All of that deserves it’s own entry, very soon.
In the mean­time, there is this:

Last month I played a show in Port­land as part of Stump­town Comics Fest.
I shared the stage with Dame Darcy & Myrrh Larsen, respectively.

& so, here is some video from said show, of a newish song called Show & Tell.

Show & Tell from Star St.Germain on Vimeo.

Loose lips sink ships
but I’m navel deep
& I’ve had way more
than my fair 3 sheets

& oh god I’m gush­ing
& I think I’m blush­ing even in my sleep
these day I can’t rely
on count­ing sheep

despite the weather this week
i’m on a hell of a streak
& I’m feel­ing so bleak
despite the com­pany I keep

if this is show & tell
& I know you so well
but not as such
(I know this much)

if I could see your face
in that moment of grace
my body stops to brace
& see you flush

except you aren’t here
just buzzing in my ear
& I’m all fan­tasies & fear
& I should hush

cause I’m spilling my guts
between the clicks & cuts
with all my amper­sands & ifs
or is it whats?

this is show & tell
& I know you so well
but not as such
(I know this much)

I think It’s fair to say
that I’m los­ing ground
Is this all sink­ing in?
am I just mak­ing sound? 

but try as I might
rehearsed I’m try­ing to recite
all poise & painfully polite
I’m fret & fuss

i’m good at hold­ing my breath
& scar­ing myself to death
& giv­ing com­pli­ments by acci­dent
& pre­tend­ing I’m quite content

if this is touch & go
should we just say hello
because it’s all for show
this much I know

loose lips sink ships
but I’m navel deep
& I’ve had way more
than my fair 3 sheets
