who the eff am i?

okay, so i have been blogging about music for a solid two weeks now, so its not like i am a pro or anything. i like what i like and dont like a lot of other stuff. but npr.org loves everything and their player is fantastic. i do enjoy my ability to pick up pieces of my favorite npr shows as well as their eyes on the music scene and my favorite wbgo jazz songs from contemporary to bix spiderman. i mean c'mon! so good.

so now that i have done that. i guess i should start a hopping see if i can find something worth listening to today.

So i guess last week i blogged about jukebox the ghost.. well today at SXSW they are playing These United States (a really good, chill rock experience. kinda funkedified folk, if you will. really, really, awesome stuff though. also featured on npr just the other day.), Vandaveer (is another DC area folk group sounding a lot like Dylan, but with a modern twist.), Revival ( the third in this trio of DC folk music, seems to be the most serious, vocals are poised with an intent to dismantle each song's subject.), From there I hit the page of Red Clay River (This is some serious modern Blues with Old Country/ Bluegrass roots, reminiscent of the J Cash but more subtle, but in a very, very good way. The production quality is lacking, but i think it gives it something, I enjoy all the songs I am hearing thoroughly. They are more of what I would have preferred out of the new Murder By Death album.)

On another note.. I was thinking of starting to microbrew some beer, but doing it in a sustainable fashion, I don't think there are any sustainable graineries in the area, and i feel like i would have to start my hop growth stat. which maybe i will do.
