Cello Song

So I am a big fan of Nick Drake.  I also greatly enjoy both the Books and Jose Gonzalez.  So what could be better than those two bands covering a Nick Drake song?  The answer is nothing.

If you don't like any one of those artists, then you may not like this song - but it's candy to my ears.

So here is Jose Gonzalez and the Books - Cello Song.

Also, here's a song that I've been listening to a good bit lately: Jose Gonzalez - Crosses.

I haven't had time recently to take any pictures. So here's a few old ones from earlier this winter.

They're rather boring. I know.

Matt and Kim

So the music blog that I have linked on the right (the world forgot) recently posted a band that is, seemingly paradoxically, somewhat annoying yet oddly addictive.

Billy, who writes that blog, describes their music saying, "it sounds like eight bit Nintendo soundtracks mashed together with dance beats, happiness, and whatever smiles sound like."  I found that to be a satisfyingly accurate description.

So here is Matt and Kim - Daylight

I posted this before, but I didn't like the quality. So here it is again.

So I'm now hosting all of my photos on flickr, so they should be a better quality now.

However, now I have to post all the photos in individual posts. But that's not that big of a deal.

Here's a picture of a truck and a tree.

I know, I claim to be a photography blog.  Whatever.

So I went to the Anathallo concert last night.  Phenomenal.  I was elevated to a state of euphoria for the entire show.  They had a guy open for them who was incredible.  His name is Sam Amidon, and he plays a lot of traditional appalachian folk songs.  Here's one song of his called Saro.  and here's a live song of his, Wild Bill Jones.

Here's a video of Anathallo live.  It's their song Kasa No Hone.  Now imagine an entire show just like that.  craziness I tell you.

I won't go any further into it and let you listen it for yourself.  But to experience it, you really had to be there.

The show was life changing.
