Yesterday

[jacey]

Had a visitation from a young band yesterday. We're thinking of having them on our label.
The Paul McKenna Band. Take a listen and see what you think. As an added bonus, one of the bandmembers brought his wife down and she's an embryonic writer. Just a few years out of university and interested in writing detective fiction. I pointed her at mevennen's Chen books, of course. We left the menfolk talking geek stuff in the studio and had good writing talk. I've told her about LJ, too.

Still thinking about music...mevennen are you still interested in getting together on that witchcraft CD?

I love finding new music. I'm listening to the Huckleberries right now on myspace. Fantastic stuff. yes I can see why you'd like that. Though for preference I always choose song bands to tune bands for most applications of musical consumption. I might like to play a Huckleberries CD as background music, but I'd probably not go and see them in concert because I'm as much engaged by the words as the tune in a concert situation.

Having said that I'm not a huge fan of having music on in the background. I tend to think music should be listened to not treated as musical wallpaper. I'm one of those people who hates piped music in restaurants and public places. If it's something I like (say a golden oldie) I'll embarrass myself and others by stopping conversations to listen or by singing along to it and if it's something I don't like... why would I want to listen to it?

I think it comes from being in the business for so long. I'm weird about music and very picky. I probably don't listen to nearly enough new stuff.
