Here's a short list of artists I've been listening to over the last week or so. Click for additional stats on what else I like lately.

On the upstairs porch, at the Mansion on Judges Hill, Austin, TX, 11/9/07. Lonestar beer is the local swill, and is comparable to a Pabst, Stroh's, etc.

Rapidshare Search

Hello -- I just wanted to share a recent discovery with you. It seems .RAR Blogs are going the way of dead (or shutdown) lately. In their place, I've found this handy search to be a nice tool. Plus, it helps you avoid all the excess blogger commentary.

Rapidshare Search

A word of advice: not all results will be what you're looking for. You might have to peck around and see which file names looks most reliable before downloading.

Looking for something to watch?

Here the entire webcast from the recent Radiohead show in London, in a teeny little club. Check it out. The audio quality is great.



This is also the first time I've seen some of these new YouTube features. Finally they've figured out how to link videos together onscreen, so you don't have to select them. They also play back-to-back.

Swimming Song

Here's a quick cover of Louden Wainwright III's "Swimming Song" I put together a couple months ago. A summer song for the winter.

I'm not in love with the guitar sound on this because I think it sounds like a Counting Crows tone, which is just completely unacceptable. Apologies up front for the sloppy drum programming as well. Enjoy it otherwise.

I've got some new original stuff in the hopper and promise to post that soon.



I'm excited for the pool to open.

Favorite Records this Year?

What was your favorite record(s) this year? Post a quick comment and let me know. Now is the best time of the year for music. All the year-end lists have come out, and its a big ole feast of highly-recommended stuff.

That's why its so hard to come up with a year's best list in December. Usually there are at least 1-2 albums I hear in early 2008 (as a result of year-end lists) that end up being favorites. I'll try to post my list soon.
