In our Winter 2011-12 issue, we profiled electric cellist Tina Guo. Here, more from our conversation with her.
Audrey Magazine: What is the story behind your first solo record?
Tina Guo: The last record that I put out, I wasn’t really trying to get [distributed by a major label]. Most of the music, I self-produced, self-wrote, self-recorded. I did it just to do music and then I realized I had enough to for an entire album. I put it out through my own label and distributor and Universal wanted to pick it up.

My husband’s been dying to see this movie. We just saw Christopher Nolan’s 2000 film Memento (anyone remember that trippy film?) and we hear this new film is a mind blower too. Anyone else gonna watch?
