OHHHH BOYYYYYY!!!!!!

a new video, lil' dawgies, in light of my upcoming performance at...

AVA LOUNGE (North Craig Street, North Oakland)

Friday, July 25, 9pm

Me + MH the Verb + a lot of other people + THE MOST FUN YOU'VE EVER HAD (?????!!!!)

sorry if this comes out formatted wacky; it's been a minute or a billion since I was on tumblr

xoxooxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxo

HEY LIL' ROAD DAWGZ!

In a mere matter of DAYS Honey Badger & I will be taking the stage again at long last. In honor, here is a new video. I think around 1:40 I have a hard time remembering which chord I'm supposed to play, so be forgiving. Also if you're at the show and this happens be extra forgiving.

details: HK & Honey Badger MH the Verb CD Release Party Thursday, March 6th 2014 (THAT IS THIS THURSDAY) Peter's Pub, Oakland neighborhood (I think on Oakland Ave. ?) 8pm

One time my roommate saw a girl get punched in the face at this joint, so I feel like this gig is pretty promising.

THX, XOXOXOXO

HEY DAWGIES!

exciting news: a new video! and this video's got it all: artists who aren't amy winehouse, facial visibility (!!!), timeless yet trendy oversized sweaters, indiscernible but still existent money-sign earrings. This video makes evident that I have significant issues with eye contact and sitting still.

HK the artist has been somewhat stagnant here recently, except for a few spontaneous karaoke nights with the Honey Badger. Expect a marginally greater effort in 2014 on my part to perform in front of people who do not live at my house/are not cats. 

Until then, baybays... xoxoxoxo

So I posted an original to my (enormously successful and well-regarded) YouTube page and realized that there are about four billion other songs called "World Without Love". I guess 19-year-old me was not as clever as she thought she was.

I also decided to stop watching my videos before posting them. I think continuous exposure to my double chin may send me into an emotional tailspin.

Anyway, here is this song. Artists are the worst, amiright?

“There’s no better feeling than seeing the lightbulb go on. To know that there’s a new idea in a child’s head, and that you’re the one that put it there. But if any teacher is being honest, they will tell you that there is a small percentage of students— that no matter how many times you go over something, they just won’t get it. And it burns you out. If you’re emotionally invested— and if you aren’t emotionally invested, you’re not doing it right— but if you are, it can burn you out.”

here is a new video. i'm wearing a shirt that i've never worn before on the internet. BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

the "low battery" notification kept coming up while filming this, so that's what's happening every time I stop playing and dur-out for a second.

k bye!!

IN CASE U MISSED IT - OCTOBER 22

Well, October 22nd's star-studded event at Ava Lounge has come and gone, and what a smashing success it was! Here are some pictures from the night, courtesy of my roommate/road dawg PK, although if you weren't there then I really don't know why you deserve to partake in the fun at all.

remember what I said about singing faces? looking at this picture I realize it's also my, "which sandwich should I get?" face. you're welcome for sharing this intimate moment with you.

Celebrity power couple of the millennium. Also essential proof that I do not have a deformed face. L to R: HK, Dylan "Honey Badger" Aragon.

big people drank tiny drinks. it was a night of delightful juxtapositions and good-looking Ava employees.

people traveled from far and wide to attend. some even called the trip "worth it". pictured: jaja prozo, post greyhound journey from Baltimore.

it took me a total of four tries to figure out how to make this post. BBL, putting "expert web designer" on my resumé. Also note that you can now ask me questions via hkdoeswinehouse.tumblr.com. questions about my cats strongly encouraged.

l8rrrr

Dear Friends:

This is a picture of me from the future, (Wednesday, October 23rd, to be exact,) answering endless calls from record label owners/basketball players. It seems that after Tuesday (tomorrow)'s performance everyone wants a piece of HK.

[hkdoeswinehouse]

BIG NEWS: my youtube channel has incurred its first interaction with one dislike! it was allegedly from someone in the UK, and if it was you Amy Winehouse's dad -- I AIN'T MAD ATCHA.

other news: the "full time employed" bit of my first entry is no longer relevant; change your opinions of me in accordance if necessary. that being said, if anyone's hip to any full time cat-petting, candy-eating, or napping jobs plz msg me.

I will be uploading a video as soon as youtube tells me I'm allowed to.

ONE WEEK AND EIGHT HOURS until my next show at Ava Lounge!!!!!

[hkdoeswinehouse]

Remember when I said I have a show in two weeks? As if you needed more incentive to attend, both of the above pictured sexy motherfucks will be there showcasing their indescribably profound talent. Talk about "opportunity of a lifetime"! OK L8R!!! Also, I just learned how you actually tag things on tumblr. Game changer!

[hkdoeswinehouse]

Welp, tumblr so far has been a smashing success. first video has seven views, only four of which were me. THX INTERNET! also, here is a reminder/announcement: COME SEE ME IN THE FLESH! october 22 at the new Ava lounge on Craig St. I think it's at 8pm. if i'm wrong and it starts at 9 we can all just take it as an opportunity to spend some time at Chief's, conveniently located right across the street! Chief's is also sometimes referred to as "that place where a one-eyed obese woman swore that she recognized me from jail". this is what we call a "win-win situation". setlist to be determined, but definitely prepare yourself for some amy, some lauryn, and some severely aggressive charm in exchange for drinks. babes strongly encouraged to attend. SEEYA THURR!

"Love is a Losing Game".

The fun aspect of this for my (innumerable) followers is guessing whether I made this at the same time as the last video, or if this is actually just the only shirt I own. 

[hkdoeswinehouse]

how am I not famous yet? this is ludicrous.

[hkdoeswinehouse]

My name is HK. I am employed full-time as a social worker and love my job. I also love to play music and perform for others. This is a hobby, but I think I'm pretty good at it. Apparently some other people think that, too.

This is a video of me playing "Know You Now" by Amy Winehouse.
