Video killed the radio star

28, May 2010

Adam has long held an interest in playing with film to create engaging atmospheres. He’s been able to dig into that interest a little with our film nights in Seoul, 8mm: Owl Bus Vintage Cinema. Last month, a couple of guys wandered into 8mm and struck up a conversation with Adam about blending film with [...]

OK Go!

22, Apr 2010

Yesterday, I was catching up on a backlog of Sound Opinions podcasts from Chicago Public Radio. On the March 19th episode in which Jim and Greg explore synth-pop, they had a great interview with Damien of the band OK Go. Damien talked about how their music videos went viral and how their desire to keep [...]

Pomplamoose

I just discovered Pomplamoose though Youtube. Their remakes of famous songs are super-inventive and fun, and their original songs are great, too. Check them out on myspace. I though you might enjoy them, too. My favorite is their take on Beyonce’s Single Ladies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIr8-f2OWhs I just downloaded their original album on iTunes, and it’s great.

Support Haiti– and indie music

23, Jan 2010

I’m trying to write a few feelings about the earthquake in Haiti but finding it nearly impossible to write anything without sounding trite. I feel like you. It’s horrible. I feel totally helpless and alternately want to get on the next plane to help. I have been so grateful to see the way so many [...]

The Apple Tree

17, Dec 2009

I love Christmas carols, often starting into my Christmas playlist in early October. Maybe it’s because I was born so close to Christmas, but I find these songs so rich and moving. When I recorded my first album, Tonic, I opened it with a carol, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Then we moved to Korea, [...]

Christmas Is Not Your Birthday

28, Nov 2009

Today, we were highlighted on Cool People Care. During the Christmas season, they’re focusing on the fact that Christmas is not your birthday. Every week, they’re suggesting a way that you can give twice– buying a gift for someone that will also make a difference in the world. With Laughing Tree Lullabies, Vol. 1, we [...]

Resting up in Romania

I just wanted to touch base and let you know that the last leg of The Great European Adventure is going great so far.
