“The Meaning and The Meantime is a sincere and welcome departure from what we are hearing from most independent artists right now. Pakes is an incredibly skilled guitarist with a song-writing lexicon that approaches the genius of Ani DiFranco. This album showcases the strengths of her musicianship as a lyricist, guitarist, vocalist and poet. I hate to use the word "refreshing" but I do feel like I needed to hear this album. So do you.”
—  DJ Jackson Cofer, WRFL Radio, Lexington, KY

    The first show was a huge success so let's keep the bliss going! It's time to laugh in the face of death after surviving the end of the world....and we will. Laugh, I mean. Your survival is all on you. Don't call me about that. I have my own problems. This show will feature: Virginia Wallace Emily Pakes Matt E. Johnson Bishop Omega and John Sideris! Possibly more! Come for the laughter. Stay because you're too drunk to drive home.

Q: Where did your videos go?
A: Thanks for noticing, friend. I'm currently searching for a job, so I've disabled some of them, just in case they don't have a sense of humor.
