green is the new black golden track

Going green is cool now. It was not cool however when i was president of the environmental club my senior year in high school. But it's about time it got cool, its about time people started taking their own bags to the grocery store and buying fuel efficient cars, carpooling, riding bikes and skateboards, reusing, and doing what they can to lessen their " carbon footprint " worldwide.

GREEN is where its at.

Gold is where its at. THE EP IS DONE. I'm beyond elated and my voice is blown. All for a good cause... So as I start to post new tracks on myspace within the months of August and September
I will write here about each song that i post. My journey with it and how it came to be. After this past year I've realized each track has its own identity we all went to high school together
the class president the goth girl the prom queen the jock, the rich kid, and me.

paper or plastic ?


i got my own.

Leona Lewis + Vegetarianism + Mahatma

the saga continues...

I just learned that Leona Lewis is a vegetarian. ( traffic + bad radio ) Not only is she a veg but she was also voted world's sexiest vegetarian she beat out some serious celeb competition emmy rossum, kristen bell, natalie portman, angela bassett the list goes on. You can read it and learn more about being a vegetarian at www.peta.org


Number one Reason why I am a vegetarian :

We will never achieve peace in this world if we continue to kill what we eat ( a gandhi paraphrase )


+peace+

Happy Birthday Ali & France

I decided that I miss the rain. And so I lie awake last night just listening to it. It was like music and i began to thank god that i was able to hear the sounds, of rain falling from the sky.

On this short but brilliant NYC trip, I had the pleasure of working with the photographer Erin Barry www.erinbarry.co.uk
and her incredible team for a new global tv/online channel more details as i get them. I went through a car wash no seriously I wasnt in the car I was outside the car actually i was on top of the car and I felt so America's Next Top Jungli Model. It was incredible. Plus I got to wear a pair of $ 900 marc jacobs shoes not in the car wash but yea there's nothing like $ 900 shoes to make a girl feel beautiful.

I'm mixing the Ali Song and some others I'm anxious to get these songs out... grrrrrrrrrrr. new EP coming soon.

Stay Tuned

Happy Birthday Ali.
Bonne Anniversaire France.

Baldwin

“ . . . all of the American categories of male and female, black or white, were shattered, thank heaven, very early in my life. Not without anguish, certainly; but once you have discerned the meaning of a label, it may seem to define you for others, but it does not have the power to define you to yourself.” - james baldwin

Last FM

So apparently my music is on Last FM
The strange thing is I have no idea how it got there. + insert confusion here +

But you are most welcome to go and listen & join and comment and be part of a seemingly hip online music community. All the music from That [GIRL] EP is streaming for your enjoyment www.last.fm/music/Jungli

I feel naked without the music studio, and i realize I miss being there in that space I will resume shortly to finish up everything before we get to the final mixes, I'm so grateful that I got to record these new songs. I hope you love them as much as I do, they have turned into my peoples and each one has their own personality.

In other news I keep finding heart shaped things that mother nature makes and plants in my path.

RE:

OMG so the muslims wrote me back. I posted on their page as i said i would and voila one of them sent me a myspace message. It was actually kind of shocking and surreal, it went something like this....

The Muslims

I'm kind of weirded out. not really but kind of. I just found this band called The Muslims
and i'm not sure what to think. Is naming your band after the worlds fastest growing yet most misunderstood religion the cool thing to do ?

and why didnt I think of this ??? after all i am a muslim. Like a real one.
i missed that memo. It must have fallen off my proverbial desk
.damnit.

www.myspace.com/themuslims

their music is good. i like their songs. Are of any of them muslim ?
im tempted to ask so i friended them. maybe i will post the question
like hey guys digging the tunes
are any of you muslims ?

i guess i'm just being nosy ?? and i want to know the story behind them naming their band the muslims like maybe that will make me go ah. uh huh. i get it. THE MUSLIMS... i see.

in other news i have begun incessantly using my speaker phone on my mobile
for this reason and this reason only.
