music and life and more!
Janice and I went to see a new band project called, The Florenteens this afternoon at a new record store that opened in DC: Revolution Records. It is a pretty cool space and the music of The Florenteens is some good stuff!
just chillin’ around the house, catching up from the crazy weekend…
just heard Carroway on Local Lix on DC101 and that makes me happy since I wasn’t sure I’d get them on there this week!
sleep, I need sleep, got to sleep!
Tried once again to flip back and forth between IOTA and Galaxy Hut, but it didn’t really work. Janice and I did stop by the hut for a few songs of one of the Teenbeat bands, but wanted to make sure we were at IOTA to see Scott and his mega 10 minute set. 15 songwriters in one night, a bit rough and hard to handle, but managed just fine. I somehow stayed until the very end, so did Scott. I’m really glad I did, as I was able to talk with some people and get to know more of the people doing the great musical stuff in the DC/Arlington area.
ugh, gotta get up early for a saturday to meet with andy and robin about andy’s film we’re working on.
I still haven’t really recovered from last weekend. It’s been a busy week so far. just trying to adjust and prepare for all that is going on. Spring-like weather makes the calendar fill up fast. Lots of shows happening, lots of CDs being released and lots of traveling for me.
I can’t complain, it’s stuff like this that rocks my world!
tomorrow night: Grant Lee Phillips or the Teenbeat Anniversary show, or BOTH?!
I must sleep!!!!!!
tonight I was at a panel discussion for how to get radio airplay sponsored by the Washington Area Musician’s Association.
I know more than I allow myself to realize.
Despite this, I’m glad I was there, as it helped me focus on some things. Granted it’s all to help out Carroway or any band that lets me, actually. I made some contacts, I created yet another plan to direct marketing and promotion focus to a million things. I can’t sleep now as my mind is aflutter with the possibilities. I must force myself to remain grounded though, as I tend to dream, dream, dream.
After the panel was the start of Arlington Music Scene’s Six Points Festival, I could only really stay for J.P. McDermott and Western Bop which was very cool since I’ve never seen them before. Totally made me think of Ms. Amy Lee Spano as she would be drinkin’, and dancin’ to these boys in one of her fine vintage dresses. In fact, it makes me think back fondly to one particular warm summer day many years ago, where Amy and I, got dressed up in some dresses, threw on a bit of makeup, oh so hip sunglasses and went off for a spin in one of her cars (I can’t remember which one.) through Atlantic City. We were on our way to an evening homebrew party in Ventnor, the sun was just starting to set. We were armed with AM radio and a pack of Lucky Strikes between us. We were so giddy and girlie it was a blast!
Now I gotta get some sleep….
