This documentary was just at SXSW. I love Bill Hicks and I’ve always wished there was more on his personal story. It’s getting great reviews so hopefully it does the man justice. Check out the official site at http://www.americanthemovie.com/

UCB Harold Teams
UCB Harold team roster is up. I’ve worked several of the new guys briefly in a Delaney workshop and in a Will Hines Advanced Study, and they’re all really great, brave players who deserve to be in the spotlight. But…
Old Love Letters

School Of Seven Bells – Half Asleep

Here We Go Magic – Tunnelvision
Is Luke Temple’s new-ish group very popular? They should be. This song is so dreamy and hypnotic. Sigur Ros-esque, almost, but poppier.
Medicine Head – His Guiding Hand
Medicine Head would have been blogged about, were there blogs in the 70′s (there were, but they were newspapers). There would have been tweets and shows at Terminal 5 and Pitchfork would worship their EP only to give their debut…
