i'm so into this HGM album & i urge you to buy it from this link that i'm providing to the iTunes store. i wrote a geeky review for the sucker on iTunes (i've NEVER done that) and this is what i said:
not easy to review this complex yet simple sounding album. i keep coming up w all these polar opposite ways of describing it: timeless but contemporary, vintage yet current, seemingly "less is more"-sounding but full at the same time. i find myself enjoying this album more every time i hear it. love when that happens.
and i'll officially use that as a great intro to my new gig doing Artist Relations at reapandsow.com, a digital music distribution company based here in SF. i may never have heard this album if i wasn't working at reapandsow. or maybe it just would have taken me a longer time. either way, i'm beyond excited at this new opportunity to work so congruently with what has obviously been a passion of mine for as long as i can remember. i almost credit peter gabriel, back in 1993, when i saw him on the US tour. or secret world. or whatever it was called. that show blew me away. it wasn't long after that i started seeing ekoostik hookah in tiny little bars on the east side of cleveland, followed by phish, then the grateful dead...so that was really my trajectory. then lots more hookah and phish...until i smashed head first into ryan adams music...but i digress.
reapandsow is an awesome organization filled with passionate people who commit their lives to music. now i'm one of them. thx for being patient as my transition from being a Fashion Jewelry Designer sales rep clunkily landed me doing what i want to be doing: serving a purpose to both artists and fans by connecting the two. not unlike what i was doing before just a switch of atmosphere. yay!
hope you get to follow your dreams today...
