I've met Bon Iver's drummer a couple of times now. Last time I met him I asked him if he would be interested in recording with me. Pretty audacious, he gave me his email address and I sent him some music. I never heard back. Dick :)

I've seen Sean Carey live doing his solo stuff a few times. Absolutely gorgeous music. Actually, I think I wrote a paper for a theory of music class on his song In the Dirt.

I saw the other day that he's playing with American Football on NYE in Chicago. I'm already spending my vacation in a couple weeks seeing American Football in San Francisco, but I may have to make the shorter trip down from MN on NYE to see this one as well.

if you're a fan of Sean's - check this out. It's been posted before, but I'll share again her because it's pure dead brilliant. Just Sean, Justin and a pair of grand pianos.

Hell yes. This is too cool, thanks for sharing it!

That session is mind meltingly awesome. I acknowledge that I am just a complete fanboy - but that video drop dead amazing. That video showcases his skills and got me listening to him solo too.

Nope, Matthew McCaughan. He was actually a really nice fella.
