Ramblings 31 December 2008

So nothing to post today as it is December 31st and I need to try and entertain the wife while not spending more than my mortgage payment and not end up being disappointed regardless.   You know what this means….take out and a movie!!

 Folk, Singer Songwriter, indie 30 December 2008

Travel by Sea.  One of the most interesting stories I have heard in a while, well heard a couple of years ago at least.  One that I always like telling as it is a great one.
It goes a little like this…two guys who have never met record some music and …

 Essentials Series, Folk, Ramblings, Video, indie 23 December 2008

Part two of the Slowcoustic “Essentials Series” with the phenomenal Shearwater.  While not extensively all mopey singer songwriter material that many might expect for Slowcoustic – this is some great down-tempo stuff – you will find something on every single album since their beginnings in 2001 that is worth calling …
