Jason Collett is in Broken Social Scene, a Canadian band. I caught him outside at the Crown and Anchor pub with a band of four others. It was a teriffic experience. Good sound, good lyrics, good harmonies, players and arrangements. Here’s the best recording I’ve got yet via my cell phone:
A neighbor of mine was photographing a rose bush in my yard while my mom and I were planting a Rosemary bush. She has a cool site about her Human Flower Project, which reflects her interests in sociology and flowers. She wrote a post about us and our rose.
Javi turned me on to Kelly a few years ago and told me he was in town. I hadn’t been to End of an Ear, the new used record and cd shop on So. 1st, so I checked him out there. Here’s a crappy phone recording:
SXSW: Wednesday Night
Maile and I biked down to catch some of the first night of SXSW and ended up standing on the bridge outside Stubb’s in the misty evening for a lovely listen to this wonderfully melodic Scotish band. The sound was quite good. Here is a crappy little snippet recorded via my phone. Don’t know how much use it is to anyone, but I’m still enamoured with the ability to dial a number and record.
Maile and her ESL non-profit, English at Work, were the subject of an article on the LBJ School’s web site.
