Feelin’ good, or feelin’ lonely Feelin’ up, or feelin’ down Come to Rachel’s Late Nite Music Lounge! (You don’t even have to get out of bed.)
Do you like parties in theory but not in practice? Do you ever force yourself to get out of the house purely out of fear of missing out, only to end up bored or annoyed once you’re there?
Do you have no social skills? Or do you just prefer to practice your alcoholism in private?
Whatever the hell your problem is, Rachel’s Late Nite Music Lounge is for you!
The idea is this: Rachel has a piano, a bottle of wine, a cat with no tail, and lots of fun costumes. She will play your requests. She will read and respond to your messages. This is a 21st Century Alienation Party waiting to happen. The only thing missing… is you!
At Late Nite Music Lounge, the party comes to you. You don’t even have to leave your bed! How wonderful to be able to associate with the only person whom you really feel comfortable with: yourself. Enjoy ogling and singing along to Rachel while drinking, eating, or practicing one of your disgusting habits in complete privacy.
So how does it work? Each week, Rachel will announce a new episode of Late Nite Music Lounge on her Twitter and Facebook page. Then simply tune in right here on Rachel’s blog.
Do you have a specific song request or a message to Rachel that you’d like her to read (if you’re lucky, during Lounge Time)? Leave it in a comment below, or email it to lounge@rachelarieff.com.
We’ll also feature contests, free amateur psychiatric help, and — when we get lucky — special guests at the Late Nite Music Lounge.

RACHEL’S LATE NITE MUSIC LOUNGE
Te gustan las fiestas en teoría pero no en la práctica? Haces un esfuerzo salir de la casa sólo por miedo de perder algo excitante, pero una vez allí, acabas aburrido o deprimido?
Careces de habilidades sociales? O simplemente prefieres practicar tu alcoholismo en privado?
Lo que coño sea tu problema, Rachel’s Late Nite Music Lounge es para tí!
La idea es ésta: Rachel tiene un piano, una botella de vino, un gato sin cola, y muchos atuendos divertidos. Ella intentará tocar las canciones que pides, y leer y responder a tus mensajes. Esta es una Fiesta de Alienación del Siglo 21 esperando suceder… lo único que falta eres tú!
En Late Nite Music Lounge, la fiesta viene directamente a ti. Ni tienes que salir de la cama! Qué maravilloso sólo asociarte con la única persona con quien te sientes totalmente cómodo: tú. Disfruta cantar con Rachel mientras bebes, comes, o practicas cualquier hábito desagradable tuyo en privacidad completa.
Cómo funciona? Cada semana, Rachel anunciará un nuevo episodio de Late Nite Music Lounge en sus páginas Twitter y Facebook. Simplemente entras aquí en su blog.
En este show, ofreceremos concursos y, a veces, invitados especiales al Lounge. Y si tienes una canción en concreto o un mensaje para Rachel que te gustaría que leyera — si tienes suerte, durante Lounge Time — déjalo en un comentario abajo, o envíalo a lounge@rachelarieff.com.

Seria maravilloso que cantaras una canción de Hedwig and the angry inch, puede que incluso tengas algún atuendo similar.
Gracias de antemano
Gran elección! Me encanta la banda sonora. Y por supuesto los atuendos
Love this idea! With the time difference and kids, I may actually be able to stay up late enough to catch it. Can’t wait to see what comes next. You should totally create your own unique time capsule–if you haven’t done it already.
Hi there!
¿qué tal “I love Louisa” de la peli “The Band Wagon”?. Con un piano y tú haciendo las veces (y voces) de Fred Astaire y Oscar Levant, no puede fallar. Moooore beer!!!!!
Ya know, vi el video en YouTube, nunca lo había visto. Me gustó mucho!
Bueno voy a intentar de nuevo con una sugerencia un poco menos aguda, “perfect day” de Lou Reed, o tengo dos de Johnny Cash “Man in Black” y “God’s Gonna Cut You Down”, uf no se que me pasa hoy, que canciones mas tristes, bueno para arreglarlo voya sugerir “Always Look on the bright side of life”
Buenas sugerencias! I like ‘em all. De hecho, solía tocar “Perfect Day” hace años.
Can your late nite music lounge be like a weekly Sunday evening kind of thing like those Disney Movies from back in the day? Sunday evening needs you.
Seriously. When is the next installment? I’m hooked.
I apologize for letting you down by not being more consistent! Sunday nites would be an ideal time, wouldn’t it? I have one cooking; I’m hoping to pop it out next week. Thanks for the feedback and the much appreciated nudging!
Did I miss it? Not to put any pressure or anything, but I totally enjoy what you do with the Late Nite Music Lounge. It is such a simple highlight to my day.
You didn’t miss it but THANKS for putting pressure on me. (yes you are, and I appreciate it! Otherwise I don’t know if anyone cares.) I’ve been on semi-vacation and haven’t been able to get to my piano, but I do have at least a couple of lounges prepared and up my sleeve and waiting to record. It’s been tough getting the rhythm steady but I will work on it and hopefully have something up by the end of next week. My sincere apologies for the long delays.
You do what you do and get back to us when you feel the most inspired. Folks will still be around. Just know that you are appreciated just by being you.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Haven’t stopped by in awhile, needed a smile and remembered the late night music lounge. Your stories and chats are good too.
I went from teaching children to teaching adults that make children much easier to tolerate. These adults (not all of them–mind you) seem to want to interject everything and everyone around them into a Jerry Springer show. When I taught middle school, I was hoping to make connections and offer some kind of hope besides the lives that are displayed on the Jerry Springer Show. I can’t save them all because there are too many of them. I am now teaching adult versions of middle school students, it’s hard, and I am going to keep going because that is why I became a teacher–to help those that need it the most.
Maybe one of your late night music/chat thingies can put some funny imagery into my head that I can hopefully recall during those trying times and allow me to smile at a time when the images in my head want to punch someone in the face.
