Our friend, Rob Millis, has posted a video interview with Catie at his online production group called American Microphone. I saw Catie announce this on her own site…you should most definitely check it out…just click the mic below!

But before I get into anything about the interview, I’ve gotta rib our friend Rob a bit. You might remember him…the producer of the “perpetually forthcoming documentary, Tangled Stories.” His words, not mine! Yeah, Rob…we’d love to see it before Lucy hits puberty!

First, when you open the video…’have patience’…I’m on a T1 and it took forever to load for me the first time, but it’s worth the wait. I’ve got a crappy monitor, so it’s a bit dark too, but I can see Catie decked out in her “Love” shirt as she talks about all kinds of topics…the new CD, Katrina, filming the People Look Around video, politics, songwriting, parenting, and her conversion to optimism.

One of my favorite segments is when Rob asks if she feels that singing from a particular political perspective is “preaching to the choir” or if there is the ability to actually change peoples’ minds. She talks about how more well known folks walk and talk rather delicately around various sensitive issues because they’ve got a lot to lose, whereas being a bit more under the radar, she’s got the ability to speak “really honestly and openly” about what she thinks without the same fears because much of her fan base is “longing to hear some straight talk about these things.” Probably my favorite quote is when Catie talks about playing in conservative areas she says, “You know, we can call it preaching to the choir, but I also feel like I’m nurturing the choir. I’m giving them a little love.”

It’s a great conversation, do go watch!!

Check out the great reviews that Catie’s got on her brand new album “Long Night Moon”. Share your reviews in our forum.

In this age of the WWW, there are so many places to visit and things to do…so many places competing for your attention. There is shopping, news, politics, hobbies, social networking, finding a mate, fantasy sports, fantasies of other sorts…you name it.

So here we are a little ol’ site with a focus on one of our favorite musicians, Catie Curtis. Aside from her official website, this is the only other ongoing resource for all things Catie…and our own little community that has been around for a while but is trying to reenergize and invite others to join in. We’re here…and you’re here…for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’re a long time fan (like me), maybe you’re specifically looking for lyrics, maybe you’re new to Catie’s music and you’re checking out all the other things out there. Since we sit at the #2 slot when one simply Googles Catie Curtis, there’s a good chance someone came that way versus through the link on her site. However you found us, I say to all of our visitors, WELCOME!

Since this site has undergone a redesign, we’ve been busy trying to add features, information, and other goodies that might be of interest…as well as gab a bit on the forum! Speaking of gabbing…that’s where you come in. We encourage you to sign up to the forum and join in the Catie gab…and beyond. Share ideas for what else you’d like on this site, share Catie stories or concert reviews, talk about what you think the songs are all about, give us a heads up on some of your other favorite artists, whatever moves you today. And then check back in often to see what others are saying too! Heck, you hang around long enough, we might just even invite you to write front page fan blogs like this!

We’re trying very hard to keep a tight control on membership to avoid the pernicious spammers, so have patience while we moderate and approve sign up requests. But please, don’t let that stop you. We’re more than MySpace…and we need you here, we want you here. Help us make this a great place for Catie fans to hang out and meet new friends!
