I spot my classmates: Ana & Wyatt.
Travis, Selena, & Andrew, I know you’re there somewhere.

Irrelevant Networking

I swear, the subtle networking that goes on
at my work is insane.

Insane.

A double use of the word was warranted.
I’ve met council members, local and traveling
artists, musicians and countless faces I’m
sure I’ll see on billboards later.

One such musician is this guy, Allan Boothe.
On several occasions, I’ve been startled by his
resemblance (physical, not musical) to Andrew Bird.
He might possibly hate me for that, but I don’t
know him, so I’ll forgive myself.

[ click that for myspace ]

Stole this straight from his site:

Allan Boothe is a singer/songwriter who applies a refreshing perspective to dark and introspective themes with the emotive, child-like wonder of a young boy. He
sings haunting and sometimes humorous lullabies using alliterative, elusive lyrics which seem to suggest the sense rather than simply state it. Inherently raw and intrinsically human, his voice has been described as “forcefully fragile, high and throaty imperfection that captures his soulful sentiments in the same vein as Isaac Brock, Gordon Gano and Neil Young.”

I enjoy supporting the locals, and I want you to too. Also, he’s got talent so why not?

The Old Experiment

So they are far from perfect, but I had no clue how this old camera was going to work. Now I know. I need a tripod. Kodak Duaflex thanks to Dana, B&H for the film.
I have one more roll of 620 color film and a roll of B&W.
Unedited (except for the last – I couldn’t lie to you).

Neglect and the Bell

The realization of my musical neglect on this blog has just hit me.
So I will give you something, and hopefully, as it is summer, some original works to listen to. But not yet.

This is a collaboration (I love those) by Feist & Grizzly Bear. An impossibly good combination that one doesn’t think of right away but makes absolute sense :

I apologize for the still slightly unpleasant click-throughs.

What musical pairs do you dream of? The possibilities are nearly endless.
Also, I’m looking for ideas on things to post as I will have this (probably mostly) to myself for these five weeks.
