Port O'Brien at Laundro Matinee

I'm posting this partly because I enjoy listening to Port O'Brien and wanted to share... but also for the production quality of the website, the video, and even the external Vivemo site used in conjunction with Laundro Matinee. Impressive.

I'll say I'm also not a fan of live music without an audience. Something about playing to a camera is blah to me (same as with the AOL sessions), but I can overlook that for the time and effort put in.

If only this blog could be the swank.

Video Session : Port O'Brien
Straight off the fishing boat and ready to rock...
December 24, 2008

Port O'Brien rolled through Indianapolis, on tour with Bodies Of Water, and put on one hell of a show at Locals Only. Touring behind their 2008 release All We Could Do Was Sing, an incredibly honest, autobiographical album put together by the band's two primaries Van Pierszalowski and Cambria Goodwin. Many songs deal with Van's time spent on his father's fishing boat in Alaska.  Some are joyous. Some are sad, lonely and heart-wrenching. All are quite good.

Port O'Brien has seen a slow rise into the eyes and ears of indie music fans in 2008. But that's mainly because these two are no strangers to hard work. Outside of making quality [From Video Session : Port O'Brien : LaundroMatinee]

Team Love Library

Now here's a good idea... free & legal music as promotional material. Team Love is creating a library of free music from it's artists, which include the likes of David Dondero, Tilly & the Wall, and Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.

INTRODUCING THE TEAM LOVE LIBRARY
POSTED ON DEC 8TH, 2008 || FILED UNDER || NEWS

WHEN TEAM LOVE STARTED WE HAD THE SIMPLE AND POSSIBLY SELF-DEFEATING NOTION THAT POSTING ALL OUR ALBUMS ON THE WEBSITE AS FREE DOWNLOADS WOULD BE A GOOD DETOUR AROUND THE WRECKAGE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND A WAY TO AVOID GETTING BOGGED DOWN IN THE NUMBER ONE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AND DISTRACTION: PIRACY, ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS, P2P NETWORKS AND SO ON.

FIVE YEARS LATER AND THE DEBATE STILL DRONES IN THE BACKGROUND, AND WHILE SOME BANDS HAVE ADOPTED A MUTATED VERSION OF THE “FREE DOWNLOAD” (PAY WHAT YOU WISH, ETC), WE’VE DECIDED TO RESHAPE OUR POLICY IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND INTRODUCE THE TEAM LOVE LIBRARY. EACH MONTH (OR SO) WE’LL BE ROTATING THE LIBRARY’S SELECTIONS, FEATURING DIFFERENT TEAM LOVE ALBUMS AS WELL AS EXCLUSIVE CONTENT SUCH AS UNRELEASED SONGS, LIVE OR REMIXED VERSIONS OF TL FAVORITES.

THE LIBRARY WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUB [From TEAM LOVE » News » Introducing the Team Love Library]
