mp3 of the day

Robert Gomez - On This Day



NPR:
Notably, Pine Sticks and Phosphorous is the first of Gomez's LPs to be recorded almost entirely in a professional studio. Though Gomez is technically a "solo artist" and writes the songs, parts, and arrangements on his own, a number of talented musicians join him on the record, including Sarah Jaffe, and members of The Polyphonic Spree, Midlake, and Postmarks, giving Pine Sticks and Phosphorous an impressive, full band sound.

I mentioned Son Lux before. I'm still pretty obsessed with his record. I forgot to mention he has a bunch of stuff online for free. Here is a list on his blog.

Little bonus: Here's the song I'm obsessed with. (I am a drummer after all.)

I've been meaning to mention this for a while, but you can download Who Killed Amanda Palmer for free on Bandcamp.

Amanda Palmer is this amazing artist formerly of The Dresden Dolls. She's also an entertaining tweeter.

mp3s of the day



The Postmarks are a south Florida band of repute. I knew Jonathan Wilkins when I lived there, he played drums for the same band I (briefly) did, The Freakin' Hott (who are amazing as well, and have been an often topic of this blog).

Anyhoo, they came up in a last.fm station I was playing the other day, so I went to catch up, and saw that not only do they have a new record out, but they have a bunch of mp3's available on their site for your downloading pleasure.

I put it online for a coworker, but you might as well download my favorite piece of music of all time as well, if you don't have it already.

Mp3sotD: The Lost Dogs

No Ship Coming In and Jimmy from Little Red Riding Hood

If It Be Your Will, Cohen cover from Green Room Serenade Part One

I had more to say about this music. I have more to say about a lot of things, but not the time to compose my thoughts in an intelligent manner. Say la vee.

Last Night


Seeing Green
Originally uploaded by Fixed Image
Yesterday afternoon I went in to the office, ostensively to do some work after an admittedly less-than-productive (in terms of deliverables) week.

I was able to do some organizing but that was about it. Carissa and I still having free babysitting, we decided to meet downtown to continue our super fun co-writing experiment. On her way, Carissa ran into @geoffroper riding his fixie around downtown, and so we enjoyed his company at the bar for about an hour before he had to head home. After some progress on our stories, we considered going to the Happy Bullets show, but decided to start heading home instead.

The Akard station was closed so we ended up walking by the new Opening Bell coffee in downtown, which was packed. I was curious about the performance space there, which is very nicely done. We got to chatting with another musician outside and found out it was Dylan's Texodus show.

Well, it was an amazing show. 1 2

It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I'm realizing that I won't be able to do it justice with a blog post. And it was made all the more amazing by all the coincidences that led us there, down to the two open seats right in front, in an otherwise SRO room. Dylan's off to South Carolina, and will be touring extensively. If he comes through your town, do not miss your chance to see this humble and inspiring performer.

No Worse for the Wear

What I Thought

Oh, and go buy his record, too...

Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time

This used to be a video embed of the tune, but it got taken down from the YouTubes.

I DL'd a couple tunes off the Internets though, and they are available here.
