It was Bob Dylan’s 66th birthday this week. When I discovered BuzzDash a few days ago, I thought of Dylan for my first poll. If I had to pick my favorite songwriter I’d have a hard time picking between Dylan and Lennon. What do you think?

Live At Beerland, Austin TX
We had a great time playing for the first time at Beerland, here in Austin. As we were setting up, trumpeter Oliver Steck appeared and played the set with us! Twas raucous. Here are four songs recorded straight into my iBook w/the built-in mic:

Around The Town Sounds – Review
Charlie Martin, longtime KOOP DJ of Around the Town Sounds, gave me some airplay and this great review a few months back:
Unique, original, very intelligent songwriting and singing graces this debut CD released in March 2005. It features backing from a group of veterans from such disparate backgrounds that the naturalness and cohesiveness of the CD’s alterna-lounge and latin-lite arrangements is remarkable.
Thank Charlie!

Reactable
A buddy of mine just saw Bjork play in NY where her band consisted of horns, keyboards, and DJs. One of the DJs played a Reactable. A Reactable? I asked. He explained and I was intrigued. Then I stumbled upon this video of one. I want a Reactable! It’s like a 21st century Moog with a touch-interface.
