It takes a while to find obvious.

“The last record did far more than I or anyone else thought it would… I felt like we stumbled by accident onto something that people liked. I feel now that if we tried to recreate something that already worked, I wouldn’t like it… and then they wouldn’t like it either,” Dan muses, “it has to be sincere, and relevant, and whatever we’re feeling right now.”

Oh when the weather is fine.

This month's Waterfront Wednesday was a perfect evening. Louisville's summer weather has been far from fine, but mother nature actually decided to make things enjoyable this week. For that reason O'Brien and I ventured out to hear last night's live music. Though I missed Audra Mae, who came on first, I was pleased to have caught Dan Mangan's performance. Mangan's rustic voice and genuine music made the night. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
