My friend, James French, made this video. He also put out an album called Totally Not Completely Unfake. I’m listening to it right now. You can hear the tracks at his website: http://www.jamesfrenchmusic.com
I’m given albums made by people who come to my shows from time to time. I don’t listen to all of them, although I should. I’m glad I am listening to this one.
Sometimes I’m given a cd that I think is brilliant and I never hear from that person again. I hope it’s because they’re working on something. It’s always a shame to find out when someone who makes cool shit gives up because nothing “happened” with the music. If you make cool shit, you should keep making cool shit.
I’ve been playing in a group that meets on the first Tuesday of every month called The Bushwick Book Club. The creator, Susan Hwang, picks a book for everyone to read for the month and each member writes a song or two about the book. She released an album with some of those songs. It’s called The Bushwick Book Club, Volume 1, January-November 2009. Here’s a link to the website and the myspace site.
Here’s a link to listen to the song I did which is based on the book The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Her Own Sweet Vertigo
