Photo of Saydi by me... Hello again & a happy friday to ya! For today's mixtape, we are going to do something a wee-bit different. Instead of bring you something new, I wanted to bring back something from last year. You see, in a few short tiny little days, my oldest bird is turning 18, a genuine, pasteurized, and certified adult. Nuts. I know it's a cliche to "awww, they grow up so fast!", but let me tell ya, my friends, they do. Seems like just yesterday she was that tiny little [...]

The past year was filled with unforgettable music. As I was poring over all of the great albums I began agonizing (often vocally to my wife) about how I was possibly going to choose which albums would make this list. Throughout the past two months I've been listening to twenty albums on constant repeat and below I present to you the fruits of this labor. 01 : The National - High Violet (amazon) (itunes) The National crafted an album in 201o that surpassed all of the hype that has been [...]

Photography by ME ! Well oh well oh well... here we are, once again. at the "end" of another exciting and fun and musically awesome year! What? You don't think this was a "good year for music"? You know what we always say about that right? If you ain't finding music your digging, you ain't digging deep enough. With the sheer (shear?) wealth of albums out there, from the label releases to the self-released albums on the bandcamps and blogs [...]
Photography by Me! WHEE ! Happy US Thanksgiving Eve!!! Very excited! Tonight, all across America, people will be placing giblets under their pillows with hopes that the Great Gobbler will swoop down their chimneys, exchanging the less-than-pleasanet-though-ver y-high-in-iron innards for beer & Stove Top Stuffing brand stuffing! AND... if you've been an extra good boy or girl this year, the Great Gobbler will even insure your favourite team has an extra-special juiced-up syringe of steroids, to help them win "the big game". Here's [...]
I am about to embark on a road trip which will take me to Madison, WI . Madison is fantastic in its own right, but it just so happens that the lovely city between two lakes will be playing host to Dawes on Friday and Josh Ritter on Saturday . Considering my near obsession (fine complete and total obsession) for all things Dawes it's not surprising I'm heading up north, but to have both Dawes and Ritter [...]

Cloud Cult has long been as much about art as music — each stage show includes painters creating new work as the band plays. I'd call that performance art. The Minneapolis band's newest video for the uplifting anthem You'll Be Bright , off of their latest album Light Chasers , recreates the idea — a lightning-fast hand creates a moving painting as the beautiful song unfolds. Light Chasers is Cloud Cult's 10th album, and follows in their 'one a year' bender they've been [...]
Part of Cloud Cult 's set often involves a painting. An instrument for one of the members is nothing musical but a paintbrush and canvas instead.

Cloud Cult tour dates: Oct 27 - Boston, MA - Royale Nightclub Oct 28 - Philadelphia, PA - The Trocadero Oct 29 - Brooklyn, NY - The Bell House [...]

Always been a big fan of the Minnesota band, and I really like the way the did this video - the drawing on a white board and erasing and redrawing... Very impressive. Also very in tune with the way that painters paint on stage during their performances. Cloud Cult - You'll Be Bright from Dan Huiting on Vimeo.
"You'll Be Bright" From their recent summer release, Light Chasers, comes a very inspired media (clip) for the track, "You'll Be Bright".
