| Update to Katy's blog: New Snippet and Some Old Songs per Your Request! You asked me to put up some more of my older stuff, so here it is. I also have a new snippet up called, Silent Symphony, which will be coming out on Tangled But True this year. I wish I could play you my brand new stuff, but we'll all just have to wait. Stay tuned for some cool contests that I'll be sharing with you all soon. xx katy rose The Way You Make Me Feel Words cannot describe how I felt yesterday when my brother-in-law texted me that Micheal Jackson had died at UCLA ( where I was hospitalized for 3 years). I think everyone in LA felt like they got punched in the stomache; and I'm sure people around the world are holding vigil for the Prince of Pop aswell. Forget his wacky and, often, shameful personal life... Micheal Jackson changed the history of ALL music as we know it. I don't care if you're into electro-grunde, rock, or hard-core hip-hop... Micheal Jackson influenced you. As a musician... wow... words cannot describe. I spent the day yesterday with the top down listening to his songs on full blast while I drove around LA. I admit it. When "The way you make me Feel" came on, I totally burst into tears. In one of my first dance recitals ever, that was the song I danced to... and the finale was always "We Are the World" ( I don't care who you are, you know at some point in your life you did a dance recital or a school play and all held hands in a circle singing that song!). Anyway, I'm just about to grab coffee with my father and then meet with some gangsters who want to give me some sick beats. I wrote my dad a song for Fathers Day so hopefully he's buying... love you all! xx katy rose |

| Katy posted: Hey all you music activists out there! I need your help. The official Katy Rose myspace must reach 100,000 friends ASAP. The winner gets n amazing prize... but that shouldn't even matter. We need to work together as a team to support indie artists. With record labels crumbling like Northridge, CA in 1994, people like me- Katy Rose- are without a home. I've been doing everything I can to promote myself; but I m the first to admit that i cannot do this alone. Please help!!! You can email me anytime and -unlike some celebrity artists- I WILL always write a personal letter back to you. Other than that, just please please add add add friends to my page! I love you all... and reme,ber, this is for you too. Without your help my music will never be heard and I will die like Mozart in an un-marked, mass grave. xx katy rose |

| This song was written about a year and a half ago... in my studio back home ( b4 the economy got so vicious that we had to rent it out), which is also where they shot the hit TV show back ( way back) in the day, "Mr. ED"- the talking horse ( you know... you've walked Nick-at-Night). I think Novacaine was one of the last songs I recorded in there, which makes it very sentimental for me. It was my dad's studio for over 20 years. S many famous and talented musicians walked through those doors.In fact, I recored the entirety of "BIC" in those rooms. I used to go into the sound proof drum room and scream when I was frusterated! My height chart from birth was scrawled across the main door entrance. After the '94 earthquake, my childhood home was completely split in half, so we ended up living in the "Barn" ( which is what we lovingly call the studio) for over 3 years whilst our house was being re-modelded. After I left home at 15 to tour and bring you guys my music, by 18 or 19 I was pretty beat up. I'd just left a another fiery relationship based on drugs and vapid nothingness. ( basically the indie/ paparazzi infested LA club scene) with a musisician I shall not name. Those years were very difficult for me... trying to sort out that Kathryn Rosemary Bullard was a totally different person with different needs than Katy Rose. I was back in LA... not the sweetest or quaint hometown. My mom never made me apple pie or told me everything was going to be ok. Anyway, so after jumping from couch to couch... searching and searching for myself, I wound up moving back into my parents'. As I am a very private and ( at the time) extremely angry and secretive (on the verge of a nervous breakdown) person, I moved into the same loft in the Barn my entire family had lived in after The Northridge Quake. I went crazy up there. Literally. It was decorated like my broken body and lava lamp mind had thrown up all over the place. or maybe it was the shadow people? I don't remember.What a dark time! wow. it's so crazy to think about that person I was. ugh. I hate her.I did, however make some amazing avant garde art and music while isolating myself from the cruel world up there. So... the Barn is pretty special to me... and, therefore, so is this song. As far as addiction goes, It still seems to be so taboo. Like, I used to tell people I went to drug rehab instead of living in a phsyc ward for Anorexia all of those years. Reason: Drug addiction is more socially acceptable to the outsiders than any other OCD behaiviour. I get so mad when an obviously obese person, or a sex-aholic, or someone who obsessivly pulls out their hair ( like my mom), or a work- aholic ect ect ect... look at me like I'm a freak because of the addictions I have faced. Our world is filled with hypocrites; but this song goes there. EVERYBODY'S got something they do to take the "edge off" and forget their life for a second. You've got to these days! Trust me, I get it. My hope is that people evolve into less judmental, entiltled people.... to a more accepting, open, empathizing, and kind society. AH.... call me a dreamer... but I believe we can make it happen... one song, poem, book, painting, or hug at a time. So listen to this song; and let me know if it struck a nerve with anyone. Did I call you out??? I'll write the lyrics out tomorrow... gotta go have a date with my husband. It happens! all my love xx katy rose |
