Music
Last Monday, Ben's jazz big band took part in an informal performance with some students from Cleveland High School's Jazz Band, which one of Ben's fellow sax players directs. It was a really fun, relaxed show to watch, and I took a bunch of pictures. Unfortunately, as this snap shot shows, the photos didn't come out very well. Bummer.
This weekend, I spent about 10 hours listening to music from 2007 for this project.
To recap, I am participating in a mix CD swap through metafilter. The limiting factor: each song must have been released in 2007. I was playing catch up in a major way, because I hadn't bought a new album all year. But I managed to track down a full mix, with a little help from friends and web site readers, and the four CDs I needed to send out are all now in the mail.
Here's a picture of the silly album covers I made, and the list of songs I included on my album:
Laura Gibson, "Hands in Pockets,"
Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, "I Never Thought I Could Feel This Way for a Boy"
The Bowerbirds, Untitled
Raul Midon, "Pick Somebody Up"
Suzanne Vega, "Frank & Ava"
Joss Stone, "Tell Me 'Bout It"
Patty Scialfa, "Looking for Elvis"
White Stripes, "Effect and Cause"
Joni Mitchell, "Night of the Iguana"
Bright Eyes, "Cleanse Song"
Glass Candy, "Digital Versicolor"
Living Proof, "N.W. Connect"
Modest Mouse, "Little Motel"
Brandi Carlile, "The Story"
Rilo Kiley, "The Moneymaker"
