Well, it is January 12th in MANY places!

Which makes today MORE JOY DAY! It is a day of joy. More of it, even!

My little contribution to sdwolfpup's More Joy Day 2012 , I give you music! A collection of songs from bands that fall pretty far out of the "bandom" spectrum, featuring a lot of Pacific NW musicians and indie / folk artists, people I've seen playing basement clubs, afternoon patio

I hope you enjoy it! There's a lot of STRANGE things on there :D

And YAY, FRIDAY! I was hesitant to asterik that one, since it's SOLD OUT. I saw them in JUNE, playing to 20 people at a free happy hour show on the patio, and they are now selling out the main club. And they are SO much fun.

(If you've got the 18th off, Milk Carton Kids are AMAZING. It's Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattingale, whisper-quiet folk music, but they are hilarious and the most talented musicians I've ever seen.)

Oooh totally grabbing this, thank you! :)

[sadiane]

:D! Enjoy!

If the whole Milk Carton Kids/ Joey Ryan/ Kenneth Pattingale stuff grabs you, they are playing your city next week, too. With the guy who played Eli in Lie To Me (he's apparently a singer/ songwriter when he's not on TV?). They are my favorite discovery of the past year, and it's a quiet, easy, comfortable show - I think they even are doing the Tractor as a seated concert? And I think Z is going

[sdwolfpup]

Oh yes, I actually knew the Eli actor played music. I can picture him but my name recognition is failing me. ANYHOW. Excellent, I love the Tractor and will see if I can get there!

I'm planning on going to Milk Carton Kids, too--8 pm on Thursday the 19th at the Tractor, I think!

[brynnmck]

Yaaaaay! I'm going to the Milk Carton Kids next week, because I figured you'd defriend me if I missed them again. :D I am excite!

[sadiane]

Heeeee! I think it would take more than overlooking my randomly beloved acoustic folk duo. If only because it's TOTALLY out of left field.

But really, SO SO AWESOME. SO glad you are going. I promise they aren't as boing as "acoustic folk duo" might lead you to believe.

(and also you are an enabling enabler who enables as well. I ALSO sent a Jeffery Foucault song to William Beckett the other day!)

[brynnmck]

No, I'm not expecting to be bored at all--Z said they had fantastic banter, and you and she have both said what an amazing guitarist Kenneth Pattengale is, so. I'm sold! :D

And AWWWW. Spreading the JF love! YAY. <333

[sadiane]

I sort of want to drag every awkward and shy musician ever to see Joey Ryan, because the banter is just SO GREAT. Sort of like a master class in "how to make an utter lack of confidence and charisma work in your favor". If the whole music thing doesn't work out, he's got a future as a stand up comic?

And Kenneth Pattingale makes me feel somewhat inadequate even as a person who listens to music; my ears can barely keep up. And it's mainly improved.

Plus, you get bonus guy from Lie To Me. It should be fun?

(heee! I need to dig further into the JF back catalog, since there's a LOT of it and I only have the new album...)

[desfinado]

Awesome, thanks for sharing! :D

[sadiane]

:D! My strange musics, let me share them with you!

[hieronymousmosh]

Ooh, thank you! New-to-me music is always appreciated :D

[sadiane]

Thank you for listening to new musics :D IDK. Getting people to listen to strange things is one of my favorite things ever
