open mike report

Compliment of the night: "Have you heard of Death Cab for Cutie?" Apparently "By Your Side" reminded her of them, which I didn't get at first but then later I could see it. It was faster than usual.

It just occurred to me that I was still under the Postal Service's influence when I recorded the synth parts for "By Your Side." Huh.

Anyway, I had a fun night. Meredith Edgar sang a harmony part with me on Patty Griffin's "Blue Sky," with only a little rehearsal, and it sounded great.

I just googled to see if Meredith had a web site, and if she does I didn't find it, but I did learn that she opened-opened-opened for Rilo Kiley in 2002.

And that reminded me to look at the DTs' web site. Dave and I were Meredith's backing band tonight. Also I got to play with Dave and Tom on a half-hour set last week, and really want to do it again.

I ran into pobig, but he showed up too late to hear any music. Apparently people also come to Red Rock Coffee Company to buy coffee.

Update: Bob Edgar pointed me at Meredith's web site, which is right where I should have looked in the first place.

I'm Ben Gibbard-ed out by your post. (No offense.) But still! That's groovy that you got a Death Cab comparison.

To be honest I was a little name-dropped out myself by the time I finished writing it.
