This morning I was interviewed by Nicolas Vidal on his show Petit compagnie on ALIGRE FM 93.1 in Paris. The interview was sort of in French and English and Nicolas translated my English answers into French. He is a songwriter too and I love his songs – click on his name to go to his myspace page.

I am on the cover of and inside this month’s Vice Magazine.

I am on the right and Lily is on the left. Lily passed away a week after they interviewed us for the article and it was too late to add or change anything but there will be a special tribute to her in the next issue.

It’s been a while since I updated the site but things are still going on:

  • After a long break I’m finally finishing my second album “To Be Good for a Day”, still eventually coming out on RiYL Records. I will put up an mp3 as soon as possible.
  • I sing on the song “November” on Jack Lewis’s great new album available at Smoking Gun Records.
  • I just got back from Miami again. Click here to see photos. There are a lot of photos of cats in case you feel one way or the other about them.
  • I’ve been working on painting a lot – much of which is viewable here: art.rebeccaschiffman.com
  • I recently recorded my vocals on the soundtrack of a scene in “Trip Out,” a movie written and directed by James M. Hausler.

Four things:
1. I am playing at Rutgers on December 3rd. Check the shows page for details.
2. The first issue of The U.E.S. Journal is finally done! Visit www.uesjournal.com for more details. You can also add the journal on myspace- look up the e-mail address info@uesjournal.com
3. I am on MySpace. Look up the e-mail address rebecca_schiffman@yahoo.com
4. I added a Halloween section to the photos page. For now it is only 2005 but eventually I plan to add past Halloweens. Below is this year’s costume- John Reed and Louise Bryant, perhaps even more obscure than my Poochie costume of 2003.

Bizarro Rebecca Schiffman

Yesterday night, for the first time, I met my pen pal of two years, Rebecca Schiffman – from Nashville! She is 23 and, just as my father is a Rabbi, I believe her father is a Baptist minister. Just so you know, if you google me and you see that a Rebecca Schiffman worked on the Sidwalk Film Festival in Alabama that was her. I, on the other hand am the one who played at Sidewalk Cafe in New York.

Sorry for the absense of updates. I have the flu so now I actually have time to update the site. I have added photo sections for several recent events to the photo section including the two trips I took to Miami for my art exhibition.

Music: The producer for my upcoming album, Peter Toh, has finally finished building his new studio so the album “To Be Good For a Day” will be back underway and hopefully finished in a month or two.

Art: Some of my watercolors will be at The Armory Show at Guild & Greyshkul’s booth (Pier 92, Booth 7).

I added a little paragraph at the end of my bio about my brother. I can’t believe I left him out before!

Okay, so I haven’t taken pictures of the T-shirts or my jewelry yet because I don’t have a digital camera but I will borrow one. The anti-Nader shirts are still available- special deal if you’re in a swing state. They say “ixnay on the adernay”.

I have updated the press section with a review from Lost at Sea, exciting, eh?

It was great. We rode helicopters, rode horses in the mountains, and met many nice people.

I have updated the photos, press, and bio section!

Well, I’ve been working in an office for two weeks and it’s alright. I’m leaving for Nepal on Saturday. We are going to go treking on ponies in the mountains, and hang out in Kathmandu. Hopefully when I get back I will be able to put the flute player and the bongo player together. Also, my best friend, Reka, might play keyboards with me.
