12/28: Feliz Navidad Part 2: Jose Feliciano Concert Review
This is the follow up to the cliffhanger of Feliz Navidad, Part 1, featuring grizzled keyboard players, blue humor, no love for the five string bass, and much love for Jose's languid vibrato.
1/2: Show Review: Kathleen Edwards & Davíd Garza
Good times and old friends at the Continental Club, and a slightly embarrassing shout-out from the stage.
1/3: Slice of Austin Life: Dale Watson at Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon
I dragged my friend Elise to Ginny's for some of Dale Watson's crooning, but I didn't make her watch the chicken&$^@ bingo. Bonus: two quick videos from my digital camera.
1/4: Celine Dion is _____.
If you haven't already seen this video, I give you this chance to laugh.
1/7: The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
I read the short book in anticipation of seeing the film. Whether or not you see the film, I tell you exactly why you owe it to yourself to read Jean-Dominique Bauby's story in his own words.
1/8: Wainy Days
David Wain from The State and Wet Hot American Summer is up to some more shenanigans.
1/10: CBC Radio 3: A Trip To The Great White North
Are you still reading? This is a good radio station from Canada.
1/11: Meet The New Steve Perry
I still love the old Steve Perry, but this new guy's got an amazing story, thanks to the miracle of YouTube. Bonus: I make my case for Sam Cooke's influence on Perry's vocal stylings.
Oh, hai. Did you know that I also blog over at http://www.artisthenewreligion.com? It's true!
Last week's post roundup yielded both increased traffic and some good comments. Good comments on my Vox blog, I mean, since no one ever comments on my TypePad blog. Except for Ashod and Emily and Ottmar Liebert. But I do know some of you are reading because you told me via instant message and telephone. So, I'll try to do a wrap up about once a week.
Here's what happened on art is the new religion last week:
12/11 - Show Review: Frank Smith
I finally posted a show review for Frank Smith, wherein I fixated on the seated bassist. That guy really bugged me.
12/12 - Let's "Let Die", Shall We?
Speaking of really bugging me, no one can top the irksomeness (is a
word!) of Fergie's performance at the "Movies Rock" event. I posted
the video and then went through each aspect of why watching it made me
want to give up the internet altogether. This post has merited me the most
in-person comments thus far.
12/13 - Rock n Roll Forever
Look, last week at work things were super hectic and busy and maybe I
kind of phoned this one in a little. If you're skimming, you are
allowed to skim this one.
12/17 - Feliz Navidad Part 1
This one you can't skim, you must read it. It's all about my quest to
see Jose Feliciano last night. Plus, part two is on its way.
Cliffhanger!!
Thanks for reading. I love you for it.
Everything old is new again! I went to Amoeba this weekend to trade in a bunch of CDs I've accumulated from SFist and get some new ones. After hearing about it for months and months, I finally got Jose Gonzalez' Veneer.
Gonzalez does a nice job of melding sparse, hypnotic fingerpicking with mellow folk moodiness. Listen to "Crosses" from the album:
I also bought the new PJ Harvey and then yesterday I got a promo of it in the mail. @#%
