Today is the 30th birthday of one of the world's most amazing women. Amazing women deserve awesomeness every day, but they particularly deserve awesomeness on their birthdays. I want to be one of the contributors to this amazing woman's day of awesomeness, but I am finding it a bit challenging. Firstly, the emotional challenge: when you love someone so very much, just about any action does not seem sufficient in channeling the bigness of your love. Secondly, the logistical challenge: I'm an American on holiday in India, and she is a Kiwi on holiday in Europe.
The only gift I could come up with to combat these difficulties of emotion dramatization and friendship globalization is to promote her amazingness. This woman is a very talented musician who goes by the moniker Hula Hope. She recently released a lovely album with "songs about threshing wheat and charming men, on the folk side of pop." It is truly great, and I think everyone should listen to it.
So, my gift to her -- and to all of you! -- is the proliferation of this link:
Here are a few bonus tracks, too. (Hula Hope also enjoys music video production.):
(A brief digression: In the spirit of sharing Hula Hope videos, I might as well throw in a project on which I collaborated with Hula Hope and Anna-grams. It is a great source of joy and pride and complete ridiculousness for me: https://vimeo.com/44302601)
SO...
Happy birthday, Hula Hope! May this new decade be filled with awesomeness in your music career and beyond.
