Wythe just told me this. He said the guy is having a kangaroo barbecue out in Brooklyn, and did I feel like going?… Um, do you even have to ask?
This is a picture of Barbecue – wearing the same outfit I’ll be wearing that night.
Here’s what I’ve been keeping it real to. On repeat in most cases.
Poisonous Emblem / The KBC
Potential Futures / Duels
Lilian / Depeche Mode
Staring At the Sun / TV On the Radio
Dashboard / Modest Mouse
Making Plans For Nigel / XTC
Us / Regina Spektor
Not Enough Time / INXS
Crowd Surf Off a Cliff / Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton
And It Rained All Night / Thom Yorke
The Well-Enough Folk Band played Bar Matchless in Greenpoint Thursday night. This was the first time I’d seen them live. I’d been listening to a handful of grainy demos since I’d discovered them last fall. I would often have them playing in the background while working on Two Blue Wolves. The mood of those tracks added a final color to the story, and it’s nice to feel their presence whenever I read it.
To hear the music performed live was an incredibly moving experience. The songwriting, the musicianship. Each song as gorgeous and precious as the next.
I managed to snap a few shots while I was there. I think this one gives a sense of how small the stage was, and how intimate the experience had been for those of us in the audience that night.
One of the tracks they performed was “A Rainer,” which is slated to be featured on the Two Blue Wolves soundtrack, and the equally beautiful “Rolling Into Burmingham.”
April was a blur. Two Blue Wolves… lots to look forward to. The teaser site just went into programming. Michael’s design is exquisite. Speaking to Laurie, our PR guru, and had a great brainstorming session with Nina over at Details. I’m going to see a show at Matchless in Williamsburg on Thursday. Checking out The Well-Enough Folk Band who recently signed on to the soundtrack.
I have a working list of bands I still need to contact. If you know of any bands that I should be considering for the soundtrack, please let me know. Send me links to myspaces, or wherever I can download an mp3.
