Radio: My favorite discovery of 2012 is "Radio Lab", a story telling show reminiscent of another favorite, 'This American Life', but with a much more sophisticated sound design. All episodes are available for free in the podcast section of iTunes.

Music: I fell in love with the New Orleans second line scene after Issy and I paid a visit to the crescent city this year. We saw the 'Rebirth Brass Band' live and had a great time. We also had a mini-meetup at the show with @dotdude. New Orleans music culture is like no other.

Music: Louis Cole & Genevieve Artadi: Highly unique and energetic electro-acoustic music. Hard to explain.

Music: Austin Texas band 'The Black Angels' - Dark, bluesy rock obviously influenced by the Doors. To be honest, I'm not crazy about blues rock or the Doors, but 'The Black Angels' manage to meld these influences into something I really dig.

Music: UK band, 'Metronomy'. Their sound is eclectic, hooky and heavily influenced by all the cool British 80's bands I loved as a kid. Goes down easy. Works in the background as well as the fore.

Movies: Django and Looper were the two films that captivated me from start to finish. Both films by gifted auteurs, one at the top of his game, the other on the rise. Great writing. Great Directing. Great performances.

Horror movies: The Cabin in the Woods (A clever and absurd meta-horror mashup) and the The Lady in Black (A classic, classy ghost story) both satisfied. It's nice that there were a couple of diamonds in sea of Paranormal-Activity-esque-found-footage detritus.

TV: same stuff that everyone else likes - BB, GoT, DoAb and Sherlock. I also got into Always Sunny in Philadelphia this year - very dark, very funny.

Books: Started a bunch, finished very few. Nothing to recommend. "Checklist Manifesto" is pretty interesting so far - it's about how the brain functions (or fails to function) in the information-dense present.

Games: 'Xcom' was a worthy update of the original. Loved all the detailed micro/macro strategy. 'Journey' was beautiful and fairly moving for a videogame.

Because the chicks horribly flat and incurably soulless. The cat on the Gretsch?? He's mediocre at best...Nice guitar collection though, I am certain he would rather showcase that that his flat voice or less-than-stellar acoustic skills. Sorry man. As a musician I am my own worst critic as well!

My first impulse was to downvote but I am trying hard to make fewer enmie this go-round, and folks get testy when an "arggh" vote comes!!

Greetings, Pie. I found another Two Gallants vid, this time from Le Cargo, in Paris:

Actually it's only one Gallant, Tyson Vogel is nowhere to be seen, it's only Adam Stephens with his harmonica and acoustic guitar.

I have a paper on something like this. *promote

>> ^spoco2:

Yeah, I'm not saying it isn't actually audio recorded live, but something in the way they've mixed it has robbed it of the live feeling almost entirely.


Pretty sure it's a soundboard recording, AKA the only good-sounding live stuff posted anywhere (unless you prefer a tin-can cell phone recording). The video (visual) is obviously mixed, because it was set up for a music video. And yes, Red Rocks has beautiful acoustics by itself.

I'll pretty much always upvote Mumford and Sons.
But man, that audio doesn't sound like a live feed at all. It sounds like a studio recording overlaid on top of live footage with a tiny bit of audience sound put in the background.
It may be, but the mix makes it sounds anything but live.


I believe you may be underestimating the acoustics at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Although I'm sure the sound technicians probably had something to do with it too.

Anyway, if you ever have the opportunity, don't pass up a concert at Red Rocks.

Where I saw him was a very small, intimate setting as well. That type of atmosphere makes it even better.

i've been able to see him (in a church with amazing acoustics), him opening for and then playing with zero 7, and junip which was at a very small movie theatre and was akin to being high on some fantastic warm drugs. everything he does is gold.>> ^evil_disco_man:
>> ^kir_mokum:
these guys are fucking amazing live.

Got to see Jose Gonzalez live, and agree - he's one of those artist/singers that sounds even better live.
