I have a new band to dig: mellowdrone Jangly, simultaneously sad and aggressive. Funky, atmospheric. I like.
I discovered them by keeping tabs on Laurent Briet, a director Kent introduced me to. Laurent’s most recent video is for Mellowdrone. It’s delightful in that it sort of takes the piss out of the “standard video format”. Friendly, fun, earnest, and fresh.
Hmm… I guess that’s only three degrees of separation.

This Saturday, the Susquehanna Art Museum will be hosting a reception for their new shows, Transforming the Commonplace: Masters of Contemporary Realism and Michael Graves, from 3 to 5pm.
The show comes highly recommended by Matt, who is quickly becoming my source for artistic happenings in central Pennsylvania. (I suppose that makes sense — he is a part of that scene.) Thanks, man.
Shameless plug: A few of the images from Matt’s show at Doshi are available in Centurion #1 which is available for just the price of an envelope and some postage.
