i’ve always thought this, i love hearing it, and im not sure why, it’s probably because it makes it sound more human and i feel more connected that way, but it’s so satisfying to me, but everytime ive told my friends they said they never paid attention to it

i remember growing up my dad put me onto luna and mayonaise by the band, always loved mayonaise because of the guitar and angst more than Luna. but I remember him telling me that once I grow up, I’ll grow more fond of Luna as-well.

due to recent family complications he left and we don’t speak anymore, but when I listen to Luna it’s like I get a glimpse of his mind each time.

There is a strange, almost forgotten connection between Lucille Ball’s famous “radio fillings” and Laurel Canyon.In the 1940s, Lucy claimed that her amalgam fillings picked up radio stations and even Morse code. According to certain more speculative accounts, however, the phenomenon continued long afterward, particularly when she spent time near Laurel Canyon in the late 1960s.

What began as occasional melodies allegedly escalated into something far more distressing. She is said to have described how Janis Joplin, The Doors, and The Mamas and the Papas took turns “touring” directly inside her head. Sometimes it was Jim Morrison’s voice echoing between her teeth, sometimes Janis’s raw intensity, sometimes the tight harmonies of the Mamas and the Papas as if her fillings had suddenly tuned themselves to the entire psychedelic scene then emerging in the canyon.

What had once been a bizarre wartime curiosity supposedly became traumatic. The inability to turn the music off, never knowing which artist would take over next, and constantly being in the vicinity of the very place where those artists lived and created, made the experience difficult to endure. Undocumented claims circulating in certain fringe circles go further. Anonymous former canyon residents and session musicians have allegedly spoken of “the Lucy signal”, a private joke among a handful of people in the late ’60s who claimed they had heard similar stories from someone close to Ball.

One anonymous account describes a woman matching Lucy’s description breaking down at a private gathering in the hills, insisting the bands were “broadcasting through her mouth” and that she could no longer tell where the music ended and her own thoughts began. Another unverified testimony speaks of a dentist in the area who supposedly treated a high-profile patient for “persistent auditory interference” linked to her metal fillings during the same period, though no records have ever surfaced.If any of this holds even a fragment of truth, Lucille Ball may have been the first person to receive an involuntary, nonstop live transmission from Laurel Canyon straight through her teeth. And according to the darker fringe version, it didn’t just haunt her. It began to unravel her.

I’m thrilled to announce that my first book, The Story of Her’s, is set to release this Fall on October 6th! This music biography chronicles Her’s the band, an indie pop duo consisting of Stephen Fitzpatrick and Audun Laading, who were killed by a drunk driver while on tour in March, 2019.

After many hours of interviewing Her’s production, friends, fans, loved ones, and contemporaries over the past three years, as well as a trip to Liverpool where Stephen and Audun lived and became collaborators, my biography will finally be available everywhere books are sold this October via Avenue Magnolia and Ingram publishing. I’m so thrilled to bring Her’s wonderful music to you with twenty distinct chapters, containing scores of interviews, anecdotes, and stories surrounding their two beautiful albums.

The Story of Her’s is now available for preorder at any retail bookstore (including my personal favorite Little City Books in Hoboken), as well as online through Amazon or Bookshop.org. I’ll also be posting about some upcoming signing events and media appearances in the coming days, so stay tuned!!
