3.29.07 - Visual Art, Acoustic, Etc.

Brad here. Feels like it's been awhile since I posted, so here we go...

Visual Art:
In the past couple weeks I've been really into the Cool Hunting podcast. It's very interesting as a musician to see experimental visual artists at work. For the creative people out there, you may also enjoy this post from The Gaping Void. It's quite an old post, but it's how I first found out about this incredible blog.

Acoustic Shows/Video:
I've been getting ready to play out live, most likely just a couple solo acoustic shows at first. I'll most likely be posting some video of the performances on the Myspace page. I'm also planning on posting some pictures of one of the lyrics sheets from the first album. You can subscribe to this blog to be the first to find out whats new.

General Things:
Here are some random things I've been into lately: Firefox extensions, Carl Sagan, World Music, The Cranberries, Pantera, Kaskade, Laura Veirs, BBC's Extras, Frank Wit, and Idiocracy. Just felt like I should put that out there.

I've also recently taken to blasting Dancehall Reggae and Drum n' Bass as I drive around town. I fully recommend trying it. Within those genres, I've been listening to Buju Banton, Capleton, DJ Marky, and Pendullum.

Thanks again from both of us for all of the comments and messages. More posts to come soon. Also, feel free to say hi on IM, SN: thenationalpool. Our screen name is the same for Skype as well. Our record is now available in iTunes Worldwide! Get your copy today.

Best,

Brad

3.05.07 - Sentient City, Etc.

Hey everybody,

Brad here. Things have been pretty busy, so this will be another quick one.

Sentient City:
We're honored to have our song "Walls" be a part of the first issue of Sentient City. It's an e-zine from a group called The Interdependence Project based out of NYC. They also run a great weekly podcast called 21st Century Buddhism. Be sure to go visit their site.

The Request Line:
If you have a second, please request our song "AO1" on Sirius. Heres the link! Thank you.

Album Two:
We plan on releasing a new album by mid to late Summer 07. Stay tuned to the blog for pictures, video, etc.

I'll try and post again soon, hopefully it won't be another month between posts this time.
