Frydee Wovenhand

I’m not drunk on wine watching this video of Wovenhand‘s David Eugene Edwards performing the song “As I Went Out One Morning,” but the more the clip plays out, the more I wish I was. This was filmed at KEXP in 2009, and you know it’s artsy because the point of focus in the video keeps changing. As if the music wasn’t enough of a cue.

My plan for this weekend is, after being out on Long Island the early part of tomorrow, to come back and start making a new podcast, which I’ll have posted before the end of the day Sunday. I hope to start next week reviewing the High on Fire on Monday and then I guess I’ll take it from there. That’s going to be a doozy. The potential is also there for a Nate Hall track premiere on Monday (still waiting on confirmation), and I’ll also have a new Cortez song on Tuesday, and Tommy Southard‘s second column, and at some point in the week, my interview with Fursy Teyssier of Les Discrets.

There’s more, and if you haven’t been keeping up with the news forum this week, there’s a ton of cool stuff in there and I’m going to keep up with that as best I can from here on out, so stay tuned. Slevin fixed the sidebar widget, so the headlines are there too if you want to see when new posts go up. Oh, and if you haven’t yet listened to the Greenleaf stream, please do so, as that record is killer and the stream comes down on Monday.

I had a whole rant in here before about what a nuisance digital promos are, but decided to take it out. Why bother. The short version is I had a shitty week, but it was full of astoundingly good music delivered in a letdown of media.

Whether you think I’m a whiny jerk or not, I hope you have a great and safe weekend. See you on the forum and back here for the podcast at some point over the next couple days.

    I too prefer physical submissions over digital. Digital is fine for DIY bands that have limited funds and are overseas or for rough mixes, etc. For me, physical media ALWAYS gets priority over digital, especially when vinyl appears.

    This is great JJ

    I’ve managed to find some videos with a similar-ish vibe of Dorthia Cottrell from Windhand. Check these two out.

    I’d love to hear a studio recording of these songs.
