Quentin Hudspeth's Journal

I have accomplished naught today.

I’m a bit sad about that, really. Guilty and disappointed with myself. My age old lack of discipline stepping in again.

BUT! I did enjoy wasting my time this morning* catching up on all the YouTube posts of my newest intercrush. Molly Lewis is a young** indie singer/songwriter/ukelelist who, if she remains diligent and doesn’t break under the strain, has the talent and following to perhaps be the next Jonathan Coulton. She has, in fact, played with JoCo, and Paul and Storm, on a couple of recent occasions. So, she has excellent role models to follow.

Here is her latest YouTube video, a cover of a Lady GaGa song, Poker Face. Most of Molly’s ‘Tubes are covers of various artists***, but she also has some originals in there, so you might want to spend a few minutes perusing. Usually, the ‘Tubes are of acoustic, uke-only songs. This is her first multi-instrument offering.

* And, we all know that time you’ve enjoyed wasting isn’t really wasted time.

** And I do mean young. She’s a college Freshman (edit: maybe Sophomore. I’m not really sure), so if the books don’t drag her away, we can look forward to a long life of Molly Lewis offerings.

*** In fact, it was her cover of Tom Cruise Crazy that, when brought to JoCo’s attention, landed her on stage with him when he toured Seattle.
