I have been very busy as of lately, so I haven't had a lot of time to post. I did go to a great show this past Saturday night though and I feel the need to promote some music that you may not have heard. The show was held at the Bemis Underground, the basement of the contemporary arts museum the Bemis Center. The Bemis also has a great artist in residency program here in Omaha. You live and work there and they provide one of their brick lofts, large gallery workspace and some materials. They support artists from all different mediums including music. Some of the past residents include Tilly & the Wall, Orenda Fink, and Gillian Welch. David Matysiak from Coyote Bones is currently there.
Anyway, the show included music from Alessi, Thunder Power!!! and Baby Walrus -- all really great musical acts. If you haven't heard any of these musicians/bands, you should check them out when you get a chance. Alessi is from England, but was here in Omaha for a spell recording, and Thunder Power!!! and Baby Walrus are Omaha-based.
And here is a link to CoCo Art, where you can download some songs from some other Omaha bands that are making some interesting music.
There is a lot of great music coming out of Omaha right now.
Other than listening to music, I have been busy with teaching, writing and shooting. More details to come in the near future.
And, in other news, it is winter here.

winter here too, but that just = freezing nights, but still sunny, zero installation, not quite cold to feel like winter but still cold enough to feel somewhat uncomfortably cold. oh, and no heat, no fires, and no snow. not to be down on L.A. or anything. i think i'm just still in a bad mood from the bears game.
