Quick Thoughts

  • Musicians must feel the need to hibernate like bears. The more the temperature goes down, the more the shows drop off and the studio requests go up. We’re either lazy or smart, and I’m not going to take the time to figure out which.
  • The Playboy Psychonauts managed to integrate both the new distortion pedal and a dose of shoegaze into the set for Friday night. Not in the same song, though. That might be a little much.
  • One of those albums that skirted right underneath the attention it deserved about 8 years ago was “How I Do” from Res. Her new album is a free download from the artist itself, and from the listening I’ve given it, it too deserves wider attention. Head over to http://the1res.com/ and get your own.
  • Don’t forget about Seth Horan’s new album Clang and Chime, either – I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned it yet, but it’s a deep slice of bass-y goodness. Have at it!

    re: Hibernation

    We’re smart.

    Outside is where the dangers are.

    I think it’s just the unwillingness to lug gear in snow/cold weather :) I find that when I’m homebound in the winter I write more. Very good observation none the less :)

    I’ll check out Seth’s new album, I remember Ray taking me to a coffee house back in 2002-3(?) to see him. Good stuff.

    @Tony – Point taken.

    @s.Jane – I don’t like lugging gear, no matter what the weather. That’s why God gave us P.A.s and direct boxes. :)
