Happy B-Day George Harrison!

So the new Radiohead album King of Limbs is out. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of hearing about it. I like it (dibs), but should you care? Not really, listen to it, form your own opinion or don't, but you can't have my opinion cause it's mine. I called it, fair and square. That being said I'm not yet sick of watching the video so here it is.


Update: Portage and Main finished mastering their debut album last week. Mixed by local Georges Couling of Knuckleduster Music Inc. I got to listen to the album the Sunday night and I love it. Can't wait for the CD release party Friday March 18th at the Anza Club. More info here. It's a little bit rock and roll, it's a little bit folk, it's a little bit country, but most of all it's a whole lot of rad. I hear comparisons to Blitzen Trapper and Dr. Dog to Neil Young and The Band. It's a polished and epic first album from a couple of really great and talented local boys.

Update: Shimmering Stars On Location with Tasty Ears will drop Monday morning so stay tuned for that beauty. More here at Shaine Jones Photography Blog. If you're making your way down to SXSW this year make sure and check them out. They are totally rock and roll live. In fact, if you find that you're headed down to SXSW and have way too much room and money, I will let you sponsor me. That's right, I will tag along and spend your money and all you have to do is contact me.
