Viva Voce – Rose City

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Just got the new Viva Voce album today, and it is pretty darned incredible. In fact, based on the one listen, I'd say it's well positioned for one of my favorite albums of 2009. Soaring, swirling Morricone guitars. Groovy catch riffs. Nice two part boy/girl harmonies. ...

Tilt Shift

Friday, May 29th, 2009

I'm a big fan of tilt shift photography, provided it is done right. The equipment is a little beyond my price range at this point, but in the meantime, there are plenty of examples out there. This is one of the more satisfying ones I have seen recently.

Deconstructing Dad: A Raymond Scott Documentary

Monday, May 4th, 2009

I've always had a mild fascination with Scott, especially due to his inventiveness and influence on electronic instruments. He was essentially the pioneer of that medium, even before Moog. After seeing "Trimpin" I am even more interested to see this documentary his family is making. I think ...

In Review: Junior Boys @ Mercy Lounge – Nashville, TN – 4/1/09

Monday, May 4th, 2009

This was the second time I've seen Junior Boys here in Nashville. The first was at Exit/In with about 15 other people. Sonically, both times they've sounded excellent. This time however, they drew a bit bigger crowd, which made for a slightly more energetic show. Being ...
