honestly, i can barely contain my excitement...

those of you who know me well, know that i'm a pretty excitable guy. i sometimes get TOO excited about stuff. i must say, i am very excited. not only does the npr music site stream live concerts from south by southwest, but they also have VIDEOS of various musicians playin' tunes. those of you who know me well, know that i appreciate a good video every now and again. well most of these are good videos, some are truly great (jose g.) very high quality, well photographed and featuring great, young, and exciting musicians like jack johnson, the bowerbirds, ingrid michaelson, and jose gonzalez to name a few. they shoot jose gonzalez in the austin art museum. really cool man. please take a look. click artists name to get to the page.

sondre lerche seems pretty good too. the dirty projectors are kind of weird but have some really awesome harmonies.

Arm-

two good new songs I've heard lately - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have teamed up to produce a quality album. You may have heard the song Killing the Blues on the JC Penney commercial - oddly for JC Penney, one of the best clothes commercials I've seen in a long time. Anyway, great song. Also, check out Mark Abis' song Pink Tulips. Once you get over what appears to be an attempt to copy Bob Dylan, the song itself has a very cool running guitar rhythm. Finally, I also am a big fan of the song Alone Again Or by Love - from the movie Bottle Rocket (a great movie by the way).
