Which worked out well since we’re finally capable of playing the songs well enough for recording. David is on his way over from London in a couple weeks, we wanted him to have something to practice to in the meantime.</p> <p>Our reunion show is a month away now, check out <a target="_blank" href="http://wtopnews.com/?nid=226&sid=1755339">Neal’s latest blog post</a> on WTOP.</p>http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/post/227047037http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/post/227047037Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:29:00 -0400The Great Pacific Garbage Patch: Click on the post title for intense and effective work by...http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/post/227023373http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/post/227023373Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:55:00 -0400<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3097281&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3097281&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3097281&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>You don’t have to agree that we should all unite under the Bob Marley flag.

The genius is in the dialogue and the range of Brolin’s subtle, visceral reactions. And the different levels of broader American v. European symbolism. Full of fine moments for the careful observer, packed into just over three minutes.</p>http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/post/206336164http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/post/206336164Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:09:00 -0400Coen brothersworld cinemashort film<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://billcrandall.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/203042309/tumblr_kqx3ldMRKl1qz5g5z&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p><i>Sketch #1, ‘Middle Eight’</i> - from my series of short music fragments designed as ringtones.
