Music For Free
We've spent the past week working with Will on the Okkervil River documentary. Now we've emerged from our editing suite/cave/tunnel with a solid 92 minute cut in tow, and the light that's shining from just around the corner is almost bright enough to punch its way out of metaphor and into this hazy midmorning I just woke up to.
We took a break last night to go see St. Vincent play at the El Rey. She was awesome as always, as was Daniel Hart, who plays violin/guitar/piano for her and who also wrote the original music for St. Nick. Afterwards everyone hung out in the empty theater and talked for what seemed like hours and Toby finally introduced me to Jon Brion which was awesome, and then we went out to Swingers and now it's today and there's another show on the docket which we're on the list for: School Of The Seven Bells, this time. But I'm going to play it safe and go ahead and buy tickets to the Bill Callahan show in July and Fever Ray in October, at which point the best records of the year will have been covered and I can focus my attention on trying to will fate into directing me towards one of those secret shows Joanna Newsom has been playing...
