"Living will take you on different courses than the ones you expect to be set on"

So in the past two weeks while we were technically on a break, Nathan, Rob and Dave filmed a Brownout show, a bunch of amazing stuff with Machine - including the guys going out and recording noise like trains etc. and then making music out of it - and we're about to rock January's socks off.

Meanwhile, I've been researching all this construction going on in Austin. We're going to try to shoot from atop one of these impending condo structures, and we're set to interview Perry Lorenz, a big man in the world of Austin construction. We're also prepping for a few BIG days of filming, but I won't say more on that just yet...

Tomorrow night the guys are filming a White White Lights show. You need to click on that link and listen to this band. Trust me. If you're in Austin, the show is at Emo's after 8pm and the show is free.

We're also going to do another follow-along shoot with Black Joe Lewis as he delivers fish and other aquatically derived goods, and are going to be attending the Save Austin Music meetings that are dotting the next few weeks. We've got an interview with Troy Dillinger at some point, who's been doing a great deal of work with Save Austin Music and spoke at the rally/march to City Hall from Antone's. And of course, Belaire is starting work on the new album, so that should be pretty amazing too.

Nathan's about to update too, and we should have some production stills from the past few weeks coming in tomorrow so you'll get to check those out too. I know, I know. I'm excited too.
