Bus-aaaay

I never really get... "busy" i get distracted. Not even really distracted, I just think too much about whatever's happening and don't remember to do some of the little stuff. Like my blog! But I like my blog, so I figured I'd say hi, and just remind you that I'm here and making obnoxious drunk music on stages around alberta.
like the other day at Crown and Anchor. I pick up Beat Boss Robot and he's like "you wanna smoke a joint?" I, obnoxiously say yes I do. So we do.
I'm having alot of fun for alittle while, loading gear was never so funny, and the bar owner asks me "What the hell is so funny?" I'm just grinning and loving the heavy weight of drums and pianos in my arms. That's all. And I'm high.
Then we get on stage. Whoah. Not so fun anymore. Should've remembered that fun-pot-smoking-times don't happen in public. They should always be restricted to my friend's basements on weekdays.
So don't smoke and sing kids.

So other than narcotics, I've also been doing other things, one of those such things is obsessing in my own brain about what I want my cd to look like. The damn thing sounds so good and is just sitting there waiting for me to pick up some of the non-musical details, it's a shame and I should be kicked in the balls for taking my sweet obsessed time with it. (I'm also in charge of finding a new place to live tho, so I'm quietly obsessing about other things unfortunetly.) But I think I may have decided. I won't tell you, but I can feel that I've decided because I'm suddenly on everybody involved to get the fucking ball moving again! So have no fears childrens! It will be done soon, and you can see soon!

I'll be Overtime in Sherwood Park this weekend if you care for duelling raging pianos! I'll also be in Red Deer at Local's pub Friday the 12 and Olds for the 13th. Jump on it!

Love and other musical schmoopy stuff

Not gross kinds of love, love like when a puppy walks by and you get all "Oh my god! A puppy! schmoopyloopywoopyoopy!" kind of gross stuff. So not too bad unless you're crazy about dogs like I am.

I think I like music again! I say this with a sly little eyebrow raise. It feels good! I got to do alot of things musically that I liked, that pushed the musical end of it rather than the gotta-make-rent-and-get-these-shit-heads-drunk-to-make-ANY-money-let-alone-rent kinda music stuff. Maybe it doesn't hurt that theres a possibility one of my nemisis's (nemisi...? whatevs grammar geeks, I can play the fucking piano) is actually leaving town!
Have I told you about my nemisis? (somehow make that plural, I have more than one) Kyle told me I have let too much anger and hate into my heart and that I'm on the path towards the darkside. (starwars. What? You live under a rock or something?) I'm Anakin Skywalker. Not quite darthvader, because I'm not evil, just heading there. I can't help it. I don't like these people and Kyle (or you for that matter) can't make me. So poo on you.
Either way, one of them is leaving, and it lets all this love and rays of sunshine and puppies and singing cupids into my heart, which I guess counteracts the hate and scary darkside stuff. So maybe I'm cured?
I just have to get rid of everyone I don't like, and crush their careers (don't worry, it's no one you like either so I'm not robbing you of good music) and take over the world.
Actually that's probably how the whole MuthaFuckin Famous Campaign started.
Dunno. Can't remember. Got too drunk this weekend.


Make sure you're checking out www.Tiffhall.com for my gig dates! There are ALOT this summer! (woot! make money money make money monaaaay!)

summaaa time

Takin' alittle break this weekend.(I need it after a gong show like Dead City Prom! I INOW you weren't there, and honey, you fucking missed a shit ton of fun, so poop on you!)

My mom might come visit us soon, my brother's having a baby so we're all thinking of that instead of music and junk.

BUT

The mixing/mastering/stressing about rawlco deadline is DONE. And my guts have returned to normal again. There's money laying around to help with the printing and stuff like that, we've picked a time for the "release", and life is good. Life is preeetty good. So I'm not travelling anywhere, not singing anything, probably not doing my hair, just following Kyle around like a little love sick puppy and waiting to have another adorable nephew to love to death. (I also have a niece who i love to death)

Have you heard some of my new tracks on reverbnation yet?

http://www.reverbnation.com/tiffhall
(Mixed and Mastered and Recorded at Phoenetic Sound in St.Albert by Jeff Olson) (Produced and co/write by Jesse Peters)

Go there, and listen to Money. It's the album version, mixed, mastered, hosed down with febreeze so it smells nice... the whole works. Tell me what you think. You likey? You think "No, that's nothing like "Karma" Why tiff why?" Whatevs, just tell me what you think of it. It's about me being broke, which if you read this blog, I'm sure you know this about me anyway, but it probably sounds nicer when I sing it than when I type it.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend dudes and dudettes. I'm going to!

Names names smames schlames schlnames

There is endless work to an album. I'm sitting here listening to the premixes, and just read an email that says Jeff at Phoenetic Sound will have it mastered pretty effing soon, as in take a few days off and get back to it by the end of this week. And it sounds GOOD. And it doesn't have a name yet. I have NO IDEA what to name this fucking album. "The New Fabulous" came so easy, as a joke pretty much over drinks before a duelling piano show, and now not too much is coming for this one... maybe I'm not having enough fun or drinks... wow thats not fucking true at all, I feel like these past two weeks have been extraordinarily drunk, more than I usually am.

It'll come to me. Don't worry, well maybe do worry, I might be drooling laying on my back in a gutter trying not to puke when it finally does come to me...

Lets fucking hope not!!!!!

I'm doing some fun things this weekend, maybe thats when inspiration will hit me. (or a fucking bus) I'm playing at http://www.nightofartists.com/ Night of Artist's 15th anniversary show Friday night, and I'm super excited about it. I think music and art should be besties, atleast facebook friends, and follow each other on twitter and all that shit. I gotta rush outta there and get my ass to the Overtime in Sherwood park right after, so I can't stick around too long and be artsy with my new artsy friends, but I'll try. Plus I'll be there early for soundcheck and I can be artsy then. If you wanna come msg me I've got some cheap tickets! thenewfabmusic@live.ca
Also, Saturday night.... wow. We'll be playing Deadcity Prom!

They have an arch, and prom pictures, and I met a sax player at a house party that will also be playing. She was as drunk as I was so we probably can't remember each others names. But we'll see each other at Deadcity Prom and have a slow motion moment, a sappy romantic comedy moment and run to each other or something gross. It'll be all big hair and big titties. You'll like it, don't miss it, at Dead City Prom this Saturday @ Mead Hall.
I haven't played Mead Hall yet, I think they usually do heavy metal kinda stuff, but Deadcity is the Fab Tiff Hall's friend, so they picked us to get in on this stuff, and I'm going to find a prom dress and zombie makeup. Not 100% sure if I'll be the only one dressed up or not, but I like it anyway.
Kyle says if I got bit by a zombie he'd shoot me in the face without even blinking an eye. I told him I'd let him eat me and we'd be zombie lovers forever. I also wrote this next entire album about him and how much I love him, so prepare to puke from cute love overdoses.
No don't! It's fun I promise!

Please check out my friends www.deadcity.caheart tiff

Happy tuesday!

We're headin out to Red Deer this weekend! I always get into mischief in Red Deer.

No I don't. I get drunk on "Stage" and encourage the locals to take their shirts off. True story!

I was almost rich the other day. The bank made a mistake (which SHOULD mean I get to keep that money... fucking jerks) and double deposited something into my account, and I phoned them being like "there's $900 in my bank account." "yes...?" "I'm a musician. That doesn't happen. I sure as fuck didn't WORK for that money...where'd it come from???"
They took it away and the world is right again. Don't worry.

But I do have some money, the Indiegogo site helped raise about $460 ish and I'm super proud of that :)
My mom helped me out a big chunk o' dough and it pretty much means that the album will be mixed and mastered by the deadline and I will remain intact! Rawlco will NOT have to cut my head off and stick it on a pole on their front lawn as a warning to other Rawlco recipients on finishing your project on time! Thanks Mom.

So in return for her generosity, I'm trying to arrange to have the band come out and play a big ass show and she can tell all of B.C. to come and watch and we'll get famous. But to get people to come to that party, I'm trying to set up a small tour of the area, so that maybe we make some "fans" (I still have a hard time with that... no one is a "fan" of mine) (it's weird. you try it. but seriously, not jokingly...its weird) So I'm a busy busy lady!

So if you like Red Deer, come on out to Local's Pub and watch me "perform" teehee
http://www.localspub.net/bands.html

Also, move to B.C. cause theres gonna be a rad party out there probably in Sept and it will involve some more "performing"

indiegogo

Hello all, my indiegogo campaign is complete! Thanks to the many that were involved, and preordered the new cd, the old cd, or even a large fluffy thank you card, which I will be making as soon as the CD's are DONE and I can mail everything to you all at once!!!!

It really meant alot to me to open up my email account and see that there were new contributions to the indiegogo site... that anyone has ever heard my music and actually BUYS it is amazing to me! In my own brain I'm just a wanker with a couple of pianos trying to get someone to take me seriously while chugging beers and playing "I'm a Barbie girl" if there's a five dollar bill attached to it. That anyone knows any of the words to my songs, or even took a guess at what they could mean seriously blows my mind.
This project really means alot to me because it's a progression from some of the "New Fab" songs. Some of them were from the group of very very first songs that I wrote, and that was a long time ago, these are newer, more recent, and show a maturing (ha!) in my songwriting. Or atleast a progression, proof that I'm actually aging and growing up in atleast one aspect of my life.
I'm not there yet though... we still need more mullah before I can pay Jeff at Phoenetic Sound for all the mixing and mastering, but this bought a good chunk of it!!! Every bit helps, and the fact that people care enough about listening to more music by me to give me some of their hard earned money to give to Jeff is amazing! Thanks to everyone who ordered:
Brittany Jansen, Heather Hawkins, Daina and Jan Semotiuk, Morgan MacKay, Lacey Barrowman, Gary and Cindi Williams, Eva Kreider, Tamara Lowe, Lesley Pelletier, Dale Heinrich, Thea Shukaliak, Mandy Reider, Rhonda MacLeod and one anonymous friend who didn't even give me their name!
Thanks to everyone who posted the campaign on their facebook or twitter or myspace, thanks to everyone who showed their friends and family! I'll have a listening party as soon asap!
In the meantime, I looked up "Tiffany Hall" and besides all the murder trials and one link that said "People you will see in Hell" (not me dudes, apparently there's a murderess named Tiffany Hall that has nothing to do with me!!!!) there is one link of a jamaican girl singing and here's the link to that! Please enjoy some more music by Tiffany Hall that will NOT be appearing on my second album (you'll have to look her up to find out more about this different Tiffany Hall)

diy sales!

I just read an interesting article about "selling" your album, I think this is a good point, and it's something I'm gonna focus more on: lying! Making shit up about junk and selling it on ebay! (Shit, i missed the point didn't I?)
