My sister told me about this 7" split EP from Andrew Cedermark and The Family portrait probably 3-4 months ago or something.
I listened to it on repeat 100s of times, a great feel to it. I just searched for The Family Portrait to see if they have anything else out. All I could find was a myspace page but ...
I woke up about 4am this morning after a Nyquil coma trying to get over some watery eyes, nose and congestion from some type of sinus thing and started to go on some musical tangents.

I finally had the chance to see one of my top bands from several years ago, Wolf Parade, this past week. I had tickets for the show on July 31 for several months, then a second show the next night later opened up which I got tickets for it as well.

The last couple of evenings I've been listening to Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks on vinyl on repeat (manual repeat). I've had it for awhile but hadn't totally absorbed it like I have until recently.
I've been on a big Bob Dylan kick recently. Trying to get most of his albums on vinyl when I ...
I was invited to go see The National the other night with my friend Emily. This was the opening night of a new venue in midtown west / hell's kitchen called Terminal 5.
