More stats and Caralee tops me

We've updated the stats page and when you check the page out you'll want to pay close attention to what happened on days 22 and 25. Caralee wrote a bit about her "Big" day on the 25th day of the 2006MIX Experiment now you can check it all out song for song.

We just heard some great stuff today including unanimous 5-star songs like Billie Jean, Bird On A Wire by The Fairport Convention, Birds And Ships from the original Mermaid Avenue album by Billy Bragg & Wilco.

I'm finding that each time I sit down to post to the blog I'm more inclined to write about the details of the experiment than I am to write about the actual music. This was not my intention but I guess it's due in part to the amount of work that goes into documenting all the listening. I'm going to work to find a better balance and try to devote more time to discussing the actual tunes.

I did want to mention that this past Saturday we met our friends Darla and Joe for a movie - the fantastic Good Night, And Good Luck, some indian food at Gaylords followed by a trip over to Madrone on Divis to see Bat Makumba. Had an excellent time and want to thank those two for spurring us into action. Hopefully we'll get out to see some more music soon. If you are in the Bay Area and like yourself some groovy Brazilian music then you should really check out Bat Makumba, great fun.

I'm bummed because Willie Nelson is in town for four nights this week at the Fillmore and I was unable to get any tix. After a slow concert year for us in 2005 I'm hoping that CL and I will get out to see more shows this year. I've noticed a lot of positive press lately for Film School and couldn't be happier about it. It's great to see a band stay true to their vision and find an audience that grows along with them. Hopefully they'll continue to reach more and more folks with each new release.
