Music Moves Me.

just added a bunch more songs & poems to The Round podcast (justin ringle from horse feathers, denise jolly, jamie kilstein, downpilot, danny sherrard, etc.), just search for it on itunes or click on www.theround.org to subscribe

also listening to new Cloud Cult... mmm. they also have live painters at their shows, though i think they got the idea from someone else.

Book & Blog you will like.

I highly highly recommend this guy's writings. Hilarious, inciteful, witty, absurd. His 'instruction manual for living and dying' is epic and his pscyhological drama romance novel is proven to really "mess with your head".

The Round's 25th w/ Damien Jurado

Lonely Forest, Nuclear Winter

proud of my boys...

THE LONELY FOREST, CAPITOL BASEMENT, NATALIE PORTMAN'S SHAVED HEAD, THE SUTURES
(Vera Project/Folklife, 5/27/07)
After seeing the Lonely Forest for the first time sans
guitar player (he left late last year to attend school), I was so
impressed that I had to immediately gush about them on Line Out—they
have consciously made their new material just as dynamic as before,
even without the oh so important six-string, and as a longtime fan,
that made me very happy. Drummer Braydn Krueger is a machine—one of
the best young drummers in the city (and by "young," I mean under 21).
Singer/keyboardist John Van Deusen's voice can cleanly croon, but he
also gets emotional and cathartic, adding a nice dichotomy to the
beauty of his piano. Get stoked for their upcoming album, Nuclear
Winter—it's a self-described "space rock odyssey into an alternate
dimension," and based on the songs posted on their MySpace page
(www.myspace.com/thelonelyforest), it'll no doubt carve them a nice,
long-standing niche in the local scene as not just an "underage" band,
but a talented one too. MEGAN SELING, The Stranger
