Handmade Poster and Album - $5 !!
A MESSAGE FROM KYLE: Here is another great offer in anticipation of the official release of “The Green Room, etc.” from Kyle Brady and The Wooden Earth. While AmieStreet.com is offering the album for $0.95 (!!!!), I know it is a hassle to create an account for something you’ll never use again. So, KyleFromAlabama.com is offering (limited to 50) a handmade, signed, and numbered promo poster and a...

Great Indie Music...Dirt Cheap
…BUT you can get it now very inexpensively!! I got mine for 65¢ on Amie Street. Click that damn link, people! It will only go up in price as you wait. It’s for a limited time only, so take advantage of some practically free folk/Americana music. Plus, he’s cute.

Something Awesome This Way Comes
A little mockup of what you can expect to see in the next couple of days: Yeah, it’s true. A glamorous, new layout is in the stars for alexieileen.com. I am stoked, to say the least. Also within the next couple of days, expect to see a new site on the web. I made one for Kyle for Valentine’s Day, and once it is up and running, your eyes will be the first to feast on it! Make sure you...
America's Next Top...Person
Dear Tyra Banks, I have no remorse for the fact that I watch “America’s Next Top Model” marathons as often as possible. I can’t wait until March 4th, which is when the new season starts. As I was doing my ANTM homework the other day…you know, practicing making my eyes smile in the mirror…I thought to myself, my signature walk is being wasted! So, my suggestion...
Mardi Gras Begins!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Mardi Gras around here. As most do not know, the American version of Mardi Gras was started in Mobile, Alabama — not New Orleans. This common misconception is due to the fact that when Mardi Gras was founded, Alabama was not yet a state. It was in the territory of Louisiane, which was made up of present-day Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Because...
The Costume Chronicles, Vol. I
It begins again. It’s costume season here at alexieileen.com, and this time we’re doing The Jungle Book. I figured this would be a good opportunity to chronicle the process. What you need to know first is more about the project. Erin Langley is directing this play with kindergarten through sixth graders at a rural Alabama school. Our goal was to create wearable jungle-themed art instead of...

Kyle Brady at Dr. Music
Allow me to preface this with a statement: I am very rarely impressed by musicians — especially local ones and (even more especially) ones I know personally. So don’t think any bias was inserted into this article. It’s no secret that I’m Kyle Brady and The Wooden Earth’s biggest critic. However, singer/songwriter Kyle Brady’s acoustic set really blew the crowd...
Facebook...whhhyy?!
I’m sure you’ve all seen the 25 Things note floating around Facebook.com. I got tagged to do that EIGHT times, and I am not a popular gal. Tell me: why do we all inevitably succumb to filling out these surveys? Even I tucked away my pride to type up some fun facts. I know it was because I was trying my best to find something to do so I wouldn’t just lay in bed, watching TV. The...

Theresa Andersson will be on Conan O’Brien tonight!! That’s on NBC at 11:35 CST. I’m on Central time, so I refuse to do the math for anyone. You have no idea about whom or what I’m talking? Try reading this earlier article.
Tapestry
Let’s celebrate February with my favorite album of all time. I’m not saying that any of these are my absolute favorite songs. I’m not even saying the artist is my favorite. What I am saying is that this album, song by song, is my top pick. I would always sneak Carole King’s Tapestry album into the playlist during my shifts back when I worked at The Coffee Loft, a local...
