About Me

I'm a singer/songwriter/guitar player/person of the angry chick variety and I've recently relocated to Asheville, NC. I'm not going to give you my life history. However, since you have stuck with me this far, I will provide some informational tidbits. I like Amelie, Kurt Vonnegut, Irish pubs, flip-flops, innuendo, and alliteration. I dislike the word "moist," theme parks, dolls with blinking eyes, genocide, and glittery items that shed. I value quirkiness and awkwardly open people. And that's all I shall say for now. "With a pleasant voice and a young spirit, Hannah Baker fits all her teenage emotions into her songs. Clemson-native Baker pairs quirky lyrics (topics ranging from mental hospitals to l-o-v-e) with a folky acoustic-guitar sound. Baker’s solo act is reminiscent of Ani DiFranco and Regina Spektor: simple yet meaningful. Baker has plenty of influences. She asserts on her MySpace page that “anything [she’s] ever heard” has influenced her in some way. “You Know I’m Yours” has a melody similar to The Beatles’ classic, “Across The Universe.” Another track, “Bumblebee” favors The White Stripes’ “I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends.” This local musician brings her point-of-view to every tune, giving her audience a personal piece every time." - R. Daniels of "Bootleg"..

Time to become a little more jaded.

I am liking this New Yorker cover satirizing the lies about Obama being muslim. Unfortunately, he does not like it. Why Mr. Obama? Because you're afraid the stupid suckers who think you're muslim will...

Exciting/Scary New Things

On my shiny new song, "Rather Be Alone"

Now, after listening to my new song, you may be asking yourself, "What the fuck! Mutant cat ninjas? Sex toys? Date rape??? What's going on in your twisted interior world?" Well, let me explain myself....

Clem Snide Rocks My Socks

Have you heard of Clem Snide? Because they're pretty much the most amazing band I've ever heard. They are superior lyrically, vocally, instrumentally, and any thing else ending in "ally." So you shoul...

The Peril of Intermittent Homebound

You want to know something funny? When you're absent long enough, you stop existing. Phone calls become fewer and fewer until, eventually, you stop carrying your cell phone around with you like some k...

Heres a little more.

Who are you nameless, faceless people reading my blog? It's seems rather unfair that you get to peak into these little slivers of my soul and I don't even get to know your name. But alas, that's life....

Super Sweet Sixteen/Exams/Cheesy bagels

Exams are over. I cut school for the first time. It was pretty much the highlight of my life so far. Sometimes I wonder why I even go back everyday to that place. But then I realize that if I never we...

A stream of sleepy concious

It is so late right now, it's early. And I can't go to sleep. Perhaps I am too distracted by my awesome new monkey pajamas. Or maybe I'm thinking too much. You can think too much about lots of things....
