A couple months ago a made this batch of songs which I kinda liked. They are notable for being different from anything I've done before: Ambient. Now I'm thinking it's time to set the audio free into the world, so voila, Sound of Picture Vol 3 . Download for free, or suggested donation in the HUSHshop. Sound of Picture Vol 3 sampler mix I also made videos for them. Here's one for the [...]

This from HUSH, my label. Has a new P Bear jamm: "Wii Oui". We are delighted to share this party favor with you: DECA: A HUSH 10th Anniversary Compilation .

I love me some cover songs. Beck - Your Cheatin' Heart (Hank Williams cover). Beck's take on the classic is kind of a mellow, echoey, multilayered pop song, with just enough of a country touch to bring the original to mind. Buy Timeless: A Hank Williams Tribute. Blanket Music - Red Right Ankle (Decemberists cover). I just downloaded this from Cover Me 's excellent Decemberists post - the Patti Smith cover of "Here I Dreamt...." is amazing. So, yeah, [...]
The Decemberists are a group I would think had too unique a sound to either cover well or be covered. I was wrong. First up, the Decemberists cover others: The Decemberists - Bridges and Balloons (Joanna Newsom) Meloy's voice is perfect for this warbling baroque melody, accompanied only by his guitar. Wait...alright, so I'm off to a bad start on my "no Colin solo recordings" pledge, but it's technically by the Decemberists. The Decemberists - Think About Me (Fleetwood Mac) [...]

No concert post until tomorrow (by which I mean in the morning), I spent most of today discovering the life of a VRE commuter (not intentionally) + 2 hours of extra driving to my favorite Virginian middle of nowhere location. I'm a city girl, it pains me. Blanket Music - Red Right Ankle (Decemberists cover) Of Montreal - Know Your Onion! (The Shins cover) Bright Eyes - Mushaboom (Feist cover) Josh Ritter - Blame it on the Tetons (Modest Mouse cover) [...]

Just got back from Brickhouse, I really like that place. It is owned by the Red Cloud cigar place which has CAO's. I had some good tea finally, it is a rice green tea, it actually tasted not bad! I really like the picture above. It belongs to the second Thai band that has ever been on BBQCHICKENROBOT. The Band is called "Bear-Garden" but I particularly like what it says at the bottom; "Love is all Around." I think I like it because I hope that it's true . Anyways We got a good mix of 21 songs [...]

Do you guys watch Project Runway ? I do and I just gotta say I'm furious about this week's designer that was kicked off. Is it wrong to think she and Jeffrey made a cute couple? Because they did. Sigh. To make this music related, here's a Blanket Music tune. About designers. Blanket Music-Hot Designers From the album Move . Buy it at Insound.
