More biking photos from Monterey

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

I took so many photographs while biking the Monterey Peninsula, it was hard to pare them down to fit in a single post, so this is part two. Take a look at the first part if you haven’t already done so.

Recording: Ryan Adams & the Cardinals in Madison

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Thanks to Muzzle of Bees, I discovered a recording of the excellent Ryan Adams & The Cardinals show I attended about six weeks ago. Here’s one of my favorite songs from that night, “Easy Plateau.”

Easy Plateau by Ryan Adams & the Cardinals (mp3)

This is an outstanding recording, available in lossless FLAC format, released by the Cardinals themselves. The entire show is posted in the audio section of the Internet Archive: Ryan Adams Live at Overture Hall on 2008-10-05.

What a great souvenir of a great concert. A must for all Ryan Adams fans.

Cityscapes

I take a lot of nature photos. Sometimes I wonder if I concentrate on that kind of thing too much. To expand my repertoire a bit, I headed downtown late Sunday afternoon, to shoot some of the buildings.
