STOP WHERE YOU AHHHHH!

22 09 2009

Well, hey!
What the heck’s up? I see you came to visit my site, how exciting:):) Thing is, I am in the midst of building a BRAND NEW alimilner.com and this one isn’t seeing much action from me. There’s hope though! I blog lots on my myspace, and my music is available there too. You can contact me through there as well. It’s a mecca of Ali, for realz.

My myspace is www.myspace.com/alimilner.

Eazy Peazy right? I’m also on Twitter and Facebook… Look me up! I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get links on here properly right now, elsewise I’d make it just a click away!

So, yes, I hope to hear from you soon:) Let me know what you’re thinkin!

xoxo

CBC The Early Edition

2 03 2009

Hey all!

Soooo, little update for ya… a little while ago, I had the priviledge of waking up (at 4 30am!!!!!!!!!) to be on the CBC Early Edition with Rick Cluff!! Pretty cool, huh? I played 3 songs over the space of a couple hours, live on the radio. Everybody was so nice, and sympathetic as they knew it would be tough for me to be up and at ‘em so early haha.. they gave me juice and croissants :) They had me on the show because they were broadcasting live from Whistler (my hometown) for the one year countdown to the 2010 Winter Olympics which is going to be held in Vancouver/Whistler. Very exciting. Also exciting, I’ve got the songs that I played for you to listen to here! They are all songs for my new album coming up in a few weeks. Let me know what you think!

3 02 2009

hey heyy!!

how goes it all? gosh, it hit me that i hadn’t done a blog since christmas! shame on me, i’m sorry! So, let me fill y’all in on wus goin  on. I’ve been in Vancouver a lot writing new songs! So exciting :) :) I’m absolutely in love with them, and I really think you guys’ll fall hard too, if i do say so myself.

I’ve been doing a gig here and there, but right now I’m focusing on writing. I’ve got an interview in Whistler’s Pique magazine right now, and I also just answered a few questions from my friends, Animal Nation, so you should take a peek at those. Hmm what else? My mind’s a jumble right now and so I’ve most likely forgotten a few things to update you on, but I’ll leave it at this for now..

Until later :)

Nearly Famous Music Festival

18 11 2008

On Friday I played a set at the Nearly Famous Independant Music Festival at the Anza Club in Vancouver. Such a good night! I went first, so not a lot of folks had gathered yet, but those who were there seemed to listen… my favourite type of crowd :) One that listens :)

Played some new tunes! Including a little snippet of the christmas song i wrote… everyone seemed to like it! Totally got some whistles after the christmas song! I’ve been writing lots with my friend Don McLeod and we’ve ended up with some really cool tunes… I can’t wait to record them. Soon I promise!

Don’t forget to spread the Ali gospel and request my song “I Love Christmas” on the raaadiooo!!!

Cancun, Mehicoooo

18 11 2008

WOW. So, I just got back from Mexico! The Canadian Tourism Commission hired me to come play a lunch gig for about an hour in Cancun… and they flew me out there for three nights! Sheeeesh, it was amazing to spend some time in the sun (although i made sure i was well sun screened), and to be able to swim in an ocean that was… dare i say it… warm. Totally amazing. Even at the little beach where our hotel was, I was able to spot colourful fishies… it was like being a fish tank for reeeallls!

I went with my mum, and my Aunt Joan came along too… Just the best weekend ever. And I’m totally legal in Mexico so I might have had a couple margaritas.. maybe a pina colada or two… don’t tell anyone though. I even came home with a poncho, which i actually wear. No lies, I’ve worn it pretty much everyday since I got back… it’s mighty comfortable.

Anyways, an amazing trip… Got to play a few tunes, got to take in a little trip. Two thumbs up.

I Love Christmas

18 11 2008

So, my friend Don McLeod and I are writing together and a couple weeks ago we ended up writing a christmas song! Weird, I know, but dude, it became the funnest christmas song ever! We loved it so so much that we decided to record it!

We scrambled to get things together and ended up in the studio last week, and recorded “I Love Christmas”. It was the funnest day ever!! We had a pile of musicians come in, stand up bass, sax (alto and tenor), trumpet, guitar, i played piano… And it just ended up better than we could have imagined. There are even sleigh bells involved… but don’t worry, they’re very tasteful.

Anyways, we ended up with this song that you can’t help but smile and dance to when it’s playing. Well, I think so at least… I really hope you all feel the same way! It’s going to be up on the site really soon, and… drum roll pleeeease…. it’s going to be on the radio as well! Pretty exciting. Also, I’ll be singing it on the Mountain FM Christmas Breakfast on December 2nd… around 8 30 in the morning.

Since it will be on the radio, I was hoping that maybe all you out there could spread the Ali gospel and request “I Love Christmas” on your favourite radio station! You won’t regret it I promise :)

Let me know what you think when you first hear it!!
