daily rations.

the other day, i downloaded a video file of "king stahlman's bail bond blues," recorded last month at java joe's. since i was both impressed with him on the video and had heard his name mentioned in some recent non-mraz discussion, i decided to do a little digging around and find information on pete thurston.

it was a good call on my part, if i do say so myself. while i'm waiting to download mp3s, pete's page on the 91x website alone demonstrates why i like this guy. for the past couple of months, he's been appearing on the morning show at 91x, a san diego radio station, to perform musical reviews of films. he started with "return of the king" and has since reviewed films including "the big bounce," "big fish," "barbershop 2," and "50 first dates." i've only listened to "return of the king," as i'm planning on rationing out these little ditties. the first review left me laughing uproariously. beth can confirm this, as she called during the song and i answered the phone mid-laugh.

he also has a great idea for songwriting. since he's been having so much fun with the 91x gig, he's accepting song ideas and will make a cd of the songs based on the stories he selects. i sent one in - we'll see what happens. and i think i might order an album. depends on what i think of the mp3s.

anyway, check him out.

and, in quick other news: i continue to be intrigued by the bonnaroo idea. i think i want to go. comment if you want to be further contacted about the possibility - i want to round up a posse.
