The David Bazan dvd

To be completely honest, even if you dont know who the hell David Bazan is. This is the indie xmas present of the year : The 13$ David Bazan - Alone At The Microphone dvd. But why is that? Well.... There are so many reasons (some describable, som not). His 4 one mand band Pedro The Lion albums, his solo work as David Bazan, his Headphones band (with members from Starflyer59 and Fleetfoxes), he played with Damien Jurado, he played the drums on the first Unwed Sailor Ep.... and well.... Yeah, well, lets not make this rocket science. Watch this and tell me why you dont wanna know more about this man and his music.

Live outside Berkeley Campus, November 7th.
More clips from the Berkeley campus gig last week can be found here.

A beautiful reminder

Back in 2002, Johnathan Ford of instrumental band Unwed Sailor got together with friends in Tulsa bands Ester Drang and Lasso. In 48 hours they recorded a bunch of songs for what today, still remains a rather anonymous project - Circle Of Birds. The result was a beautiful little ep mixed by Johnathan Ford and former Unwed Sailor drummer David Bazan (also known as the artist behind Pedro The Lion). An ep which today is still widely digitally available here and there

One of the ep's tracks - Old Ironside, is today still one of the most fantastically sad and beautiful tracks i have ever layed ears on. I am still amazed years after, that no big hollywood movie dreamers never even bothered to atleast attempt steal this for the sake of their visions. But on the other hand, to me thats what makes this track so pretty. It just sits there on the Unwed Sailor website (free to download), for everyone to enjoy, contempt with the fact that people who have never heard about either of the tracks many contributors, are fine without its subtle glory.

Well.... Since i am not really poking the coals of new fires here, why dont you give the track a listen and then decide if you wanna go here and download it? (you might get more than you bargained for).
