Life Being What It Is is my current favourite song. I don't know why but I found it reassuring to see it recorded in this non-pretentious way, almost an instinctive process. Keep singing Kaki, your voice is really sweet.
kaki said she dated one of the twins. if it was sara it's not anymore (sara has been with emy for quite some time). Also considering she's nowhere near as popular as tegan and sara the tag is probably there to get views.
I like the way that she sets up her studio. I'd do the same thing, it's like a "comfort zone." You can dress up the studio to be your basement, your own room, or even record under a bridge beside a babbling brook, whatever you feel comfortable with and whatever gives you the ability to play your song. It's great.

She's one of the few artists I've ever heard speak positively about their work and not cringe at their old stuff. Props, girl!

So inspiring, this looks so homemade, so DIY might not be my favourite artist right now but definitely the most inspiring one right now :)

How did you avoid getting room ambience in those recordings??

One of the best tracks from the album :)
I love how shy she gets when adding the extra lyrics.
You can tell it took a lot to conjure those up from inside her and add them to the song.

yeah, Kaki WAS dating one of the twins, but i guess it's because she played on Tegan & Sara's songs on The Con + she also appeared on The Con DVD....
i think that's the reason :)

Kaki makes some beautiful music. "... until we felt red" and "Dreaming" just surround you.
"Legs..." is really great too. Don't have her first one, though.

On the first clip there's an image of the Virgen de Guadalupe wich is ironic, because Kaki says she doesn't believe in religion, karma, etc..
