This was my b-roll camera…didn’t mess with focus, just wanted extra sound. In fact, I just sat the camera down on the table and let it roll…just goes to show ya that even sitting on a table is a good seat at the the Kessler Theater!

Got to shoot video of The Fox and the Bird at Good Records a few weeks back…dang, I love this band…

…Got to shoot video of Jacob Metcalf and crew at Good Records a few weeks back…dang, I love this band…

…Got to shoot video of Something in the Wheel at Good Records a few weeks back…dang, I love this band…

…I gots’it gooooood…

California-based Power-pop-Punk band Cold Forty Three tore thangs up at

High Octane, indeed.

The day job required me to set-up shop at this year’s Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Party. It was freeeeeezing. It was obnoxious. It was, however, pretty darn fun.

Great music, that’s fersure! I made this for the day job, but it’s got some good clips of The O’s and TheDrams and Eleven Hundred Springs.

I…sigh…had to leave before the Old 97′s took the stage. That sucked.

Finally! The Night of the White Pants has returned home again. Big ups to the Double Wide, D.E.E.P., Premiere Video, Amy Talkington. Tiffany Kieran and the rest for giving us this very special evening.

Last but not least, the beneficiary for Art/Con was announced on Saturday night…Cari says…

The beneficiary is Preservation Link. They work to bring arts and cultural opportunities to children in need. For example they’ve done things like offer photography course to kids in South Dallas. They’ve been around for just a few years, but so far they’ve done a great job of reaching out to kids and striking up partnerships with the Dallas Museum of Art, DISD and El Centro Community College, we can’t wait to help them extend their grasp even further through the money we raise. We’re also looking forward to connecting our community of artists and musicians with the children they serve. Preservation Link is led by Dave Herman Jr. and Shaun Wilson.

I’ve spent a good 2-days on Pet Hospital’s MySpace page. I think I’m in love…

“Cathey Millers latest paintings depict portraits of women clad in tactical gear, gas masks, ski masks, and American flags inhabiting bunkers and rooms full of video screens. Miller uses bold colors and a painterly style to present a doomsday scenario that is tempered by the occasional orange bicycle, a sweetly smiling face, or a fluorescent jellyfish. Her inspirations for this new work are the constant stream of violent images on modern computer, television, movie, and gaming screens, and “Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness” issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Miller is a 1985 graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena , CA.”

Tim Miller – “Adelaide”

I can’t recall precisely how I first met Tim Miller, but I do know ’twas awhile back. Cuz one time I was doing a live audio stream at the Green Room for Kirtland Records, and like I ran into Tim there and I particularly remember that night cuz Cary Pierce was performing and he asked me to watch the door for him while he changed…heh.

Anyhoo, Tim’s got a spankin’ new album just out, Adelaide, and he’s gonna drop it like it’s hot this coming Saturday, May 31st at The Loft.

Joining Tim on stage that night, the amazing Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights and Electric Touch. Es muy bueno, like buttah.

Recorded onto tape, Tim Miller’s Adelaide is an example of emotionally- charged, mature songwriting. Produced by Chris Bell (Erykah Badu, Polyphonic Spree, Eagles) and mastered by Adam Ayan (Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Phish, Ani DiFranco), Adelaide features Tim Miller’s honest and soothing voice performing melodic folk rock songs in a style similar to singer/songwriters, James Blunt and Ari Hest. Out Of The Box (2004) established this Dallas based singer/songwriter as an artist with a raw, honest approach and since Miller’s music has been licensed by MTV’s My Super Sweet 16, Real World, Road Rules, and The Challenge, and Tom Green’s film Shred II.

Adelaide is a collection of meaningful, slow-medium folk rock songs. While listening to this album, you get the feeling that any of these songs could easily be in a soundtrack during the turning point of a film. Miller’s guitars and vocals blend together effortlessly while the organ and piano perfectly compliment the basic folk rock sound of the album. Instead of keeping with the usual acoustic guitar and piano set-up that most folk rock musicians use, Miller brings in an organ on some songs, which makes the album stand out and creates an overall fuller sound. “Say Hello” is one of the album’s faster-paced rock songs that showcase this full organ sound, in addition to a melodic bridge and break down of electric guitar and voice. “Let’s Go” and “Another Day in the Life” are two additional solid, medium-tempo rock songs that move the album along nicely with catchy rock guitars and strong vocals. The rest of the album is slower-paced, folk rock ballads, including “Whom Am I,” an emotional song with dreamy acoustic guitars, dramatic piano and introspective lyrics. “Man Overboard,” another slower-paced rock folk song, features one of the album’s most catchy guitar riffs. In “Let us End,” Miller sings colorful harmonies, creating a soulful feel that reveals the depth of his vocal abilities. “Four Leaf Clover” brings in the mandolin and steel guitar to give the listener a taste of country. “This Life” features both a catchy piano and keyboard that give the song an ambiance of driving through the country at sunset.

Adelaide is an album of listenable instrumentation and dynamic songwriting. Tim Miller is definitely here to stay and I wouldn’t be surprised if very soon we start hearing his songs in more mainstream outlets.

Artsy-Fartsy

The artwork and music are not of this world… or are they? Is the surreal nature of dreams and fantasy from another plane of existence, or are they here in plain sight? The artists and musicians participating in Existence Is Elsewhere all explore what may or may not be imagined.

Existance Is Elsewhere is a one night only event featuring raw local talent of artists Nick Bradford, Lets Kish, Jason Barnett, Kunst, Alison Welsh, Larry Carey, Janelle Tohill and Loren V. Era. Music by Yells At Ells and SUBkommander.

Musical performances to begin around 9pm.

I was most pleased to plop my arse on the sofa, after the Re*Cov*Er shindig on Saturday night, only to find precious Taylor Davis just a’croonin’ away on the Gordon Keith Show.

Check it above. Very nice.

Tonight we’ll go live at the Hal Samples Gallery for a very special, very personal tour and story behind Hal’s current installation, “The City of God.”

Live Video Streaming Begins here at 6:30 pm CST.

The event will be a casual evening where you will have the opportunity to hear the story of the installation straight from the artist, Hal Samples. For the first hour of the open house, Hal will lead you through the installation, relating personal anecdotes and stories about the work and his time in Brazil. We will be viewing some video footage, and Hal will end with a brief lecture explaining his mission work in Brazil and his plans for the future. The last hour will be a forum setting where you will have the opportunity to ask Hal any questions you may have about the installation, Brazil, or Hal’s continued work in South America.

Please come and join us for an intimate evening of art, wine, and conversation. We look forward to sharing with you the importance of this work.

I got a toothache. I started out ignoring it. Today, it’s a bitch, and won’t be ignored. So I found a dentist and will endure my most hated event at 6:45 am tomorrow morning. I’d sooner pound nails in my head than go to the dentist…but…this dang tooth…HURTS.

So I won’t be posting today after this…however…the kind new dentist has called in some sort of pain killer to get me through the evening, so plans to hook up with Leah Shafer and Tania (and really wicked awesome guests) are still on tonight. For you see, we’ll be filming a couple of episodes of the wildly popular Girl Talk, featured in Quick.

I’ll produce some sort of slickish video for Quick, however, even though Leah said nah, you know my rebel ways, so I’m still going live tonight so you can tune in for a behind the scenes peek. See ya back here at 7 pm…and wish me luck in the dental chair.
