Thanks to everyone who came to the show at Lit on Wednesday. I think that was one of my favorite shows. I am on a road trip to New Orleans with Charlotte and Wilmot. We stayed with Steph last night in Blacksburg and are about to drive to Nashville, maybe even Memphis today. Photo by […]
I am performing this Saturday at The End of the World’s Record Release Party:
Last week I took part in a collaborative art installation/performance by the artist Dominique Gonzalez Foerster and the composer Ari Benjamin Meyer at The Solomon R. Guggenheim. Nicolas Ghesquière of Balenciaga custom-made our dresses and I had to take mine off on-stage. Being part of the rehearsals and watching the final pieces of this work […]
Recently, Some Records gave me back the rights to my 2003 album “Upside Down Lacrimosa.” They had never paid me for digital sales. Sucks. So I just had them take the album down from iTunes, I resubmitted it, and it is back up! Now if you buy some tracks or the whole album (only $9.99!) […]
Did you know that I can see what search terms people enter to find this website? Lately there have been several “midget fondling” queries! The words “midget” and “fondling” occur separately in captions on the Halloween pics page. I will be playing at Lit on Nov 12. Details TBA.
Zizek’s recent book “Violence” did go into it’s second printing and I finally got credited for the painting on the back inside flap. (They originally used it without my knowledge or permission and without giving credit!)
This weekend I was a guest on Shawn Honnick’s Plate Show, a radio show about “life, vanity plates, and the meanings behind them.” It happened super last minute so I didn’t have time to post it beforehand but click HERE to listen to a recording of the show.
I just posted two downloadable cover songs in the mp3s section. (Neil Young and Electric Six)
I’m playing this Tuesday, August 19 at The Delancey. I will be opening for my friend Peter Toh. See the shows page for details. Also please check out my new blog of interesting vanity plates. http://pl8tz.uesjournal.com
I am in the mixing phase of album 2. Hopefully it will be ready to be released in a month or two.

Today’s issue of The New York Observer ran an article about me by George Gurley titled “Who’s That Girl? It’s Rebecca Schiffman!” Maybe I’ve been out of school too long because lately I’ve had the urge to write letters to Harper’s Magazine responding to various articles. Once I begin the effort, however, I quickly become […]

Southampton I went to Southampton this weekend and saw a baby seal on the beach. The Rainbow Painting This is a painting my parents bought in the mid-late 70’s by the artist Pat Lipsky. My family has a tradition of taking photos of people in front of this painting. I’ve rounded up many of these […]
Between 2am and 5am tonight I completely broke and put back together this website. I didn’t make the improvements I was going for but I learned a lot- about wordpress and .htaccess files…
