the rambling and often inane thoughts of a student sound designer/filmmaker

I’ve got to get back to some football watchin, but my friend Mark posted this link and I had to share.
It’s a collaborative music project with different musicians, each playing their own instrument in the same key. Most productive use I’ve seen of YouTube in a while (although that probably doesn’t mean much).

Merry Christmas friends!
James Taylor is a must around the holidays..
I’m loving Dylan’s wig in this one. See if you can spot him.
and finally, something a bit more classic.

Christmas shopping is finished. I don’t think I care to visit another mall until this time next year.
Tallahassee is starting to depress me. It’s one place where the toll the economy is taking is painfully obvious. The Tallahassee Mall is all but closed down, (save for the AMC, which will probably survive no matter what) and today I was very saddened to take what was probably my last trip to Vinyl Fever, a pretty cool local record shop. It’s going out of business in a few weeks, and while I know it’s not the only place in town, it was kind of special for me.
During my last two years of high school, a trip to Vinyl Fever was a weekly event. My brother and I and our friends Matt and Cody would make the trip to Tally just for this store (and the occasional quick stop by Goodwill on the way out). We would suggest albums to each other, argue about our choices, and then fight for who got to pick what we listened to first on the way home. Local artists would always leave burned copies of their barely-produced EP’s on the counter, which would all end up going home with us, providing us with hours of entertainment and laughs (sadly at their expense).
This is where I discovered Jeff Buckely’s Grace, where I picked out my first Creedence album, and the place I went to pick out posters for my dorm room the week before I left for college.
Lots of memories, and I’ll miss knowing it’s there.

Dawes
“That Western Skyline” North Hills
Lots of free time this week (e.g. the existence of this blog), so I’ve done some music searching and found some pretty amazing stuff.
My Neil Young binge this week led me to this up and coming band from north California called Dawes. Folk-rocky goodness, really drawing from the likes of Dylan and The Band (all coming from a former punk group?) …listen and follow them on twitter @dawestheband
