i'll be out of town this week, so won't be able to upload a podcast this wednesday. in lieu, i'm happy to present a special-edition sunday night episode! :) it's just me talking a little bit more about love and idealism, and the feeling of knowing that there's still a lot more work to do (on my end, anyway). alongside, i'm honored to present a few more brand new songs by the cobalt season. if you haven't already picked up their new cd "fragile iconoclast," i hope you'll click the links...

i hope everybody has a great week!

this week's podcast is pretty simple - just me thinking out loud about where things are these days, trying to remember the important things, and keep trying and hoping and listening. i wanna send out xtra special thanks to ryan sharp and the cobalt season for sharing their brand new cd "fragile iconoclast" with us. i hope you'll visit them, and check out what they're up to...

i just uploaded part two of my interview with danny scherr, and hope you can take a listen. as you heard last week, danny has a lot to say, and has written some absolutely beautiful songs. he plays more for us tonight - including one of my all-time favorite's - "you can go on without me." the interview continues where we left off last week, and we get to hear about danny's experiences moving to san francisco in the mid-90's, accidentally meeting elliott smith, and recording his cd richmond special. it's a fun hour! i'm really honored to share it with you (and thankful to danny for his openness). i hope you'll check it out... :)

visit danny's links around the web:

danny's song maybe you're gone was featured in the
end-credits to the 2004 movie the girl next door.

wishing you the best week,
russell
