The below video is the trailer for the award-winning feature-length documentary that chronicles Pat Spurgeon’s search for a living organ donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match.

I was especially excited to see Pat and R/W featured on last.fm doing well with his new kidney and perusing his passion. Take some time to watch the full documentary, a beautifully captured film about how those in need and those who donate can be the one sitting next to you.

Rivulet Industries is working on some new and exciting approaches to our online presence. We hope to announce these new endeavors in short order. There are hints on the site as we speak…

Dan Deacon & Co. Talking about their tour van.

Do people buy albums for the cover art anymore? I do. I didn’t know Hawk Nelson were Christian let alone Canadian until after I owned the album and started on some deep research.  Hell, I didn’t know if this was a band or one of Willie’s offspring.   But honestly, how can you deny that little puppy? And with those adorable glasses he can read the latest edition of ROAD magazine.  Neil and company have really outdone themselves this month, ugh.  Of course I won’t be able to actually read through it as I get ill both with and without the provided Giro 3-D glasses…
This might be the first Christian album I have bought since Stryper and if I remember correctly I bought that for the cover art as well.  Hawk Nelson’s music you ask?  Not sure, but I do know they have a song about Lord Stanley called, “Ode To Lord Stanley”.  I am pretty sure you can’t write a bad song when it involves Lord Stanley, dekes, rinks, or dangles before bulging the twine top shelf stick side.

Does anyone step on a burning bag of shit anymore?
Does anyone sell encyclopedias door-to-door?

RIP Dimebag, RIP…

Boise’s BTS will be in Seattle on the 24th and I believe I am heading to Boise on the 29th.

Hopefully, with an earful of these gems to power me.

Rock this tune this weekend, I will.

I have been following Phoenix since their debut album in the early 2K’s (wow, I just said that). They have had some wonderful singles with the likes of “Too Young”, “Everything is Everything”, and “Run Run Run”. Despite my hopes for this band, the albums simply didn’t have the staying power.  Enter Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, simply put this album is magical.  Elegance within the dance pop that we all crave.  It is everything I thought we would hear from Phoenix in their previous 4 full lengths. It might be a bit early, but this album has the staying power and the pop feel that will leave it in many a persons 6 disc changers (we still do that right?).  The single Listmania is already being remixed by tons of folks, (Classixx, Yuksek, and Holy Ghost!) with the continued remix attention they should continue to dominate the summer jam scene.  There are 6 other (the gorgeous Love Like a Sunset is probably too long) songs poised as the next great single Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix should remain as an album on the forefront of our minds well into the winter months.  The music is poppier (think Cut Copy or Hot Chip) but the feel is similar to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s debut in that the whole album is solid and for most, unexpected.  Minus the overtly brass front man.

Did I mention they are from Versailles, France?

Morning Moon

The reactor’s down
I guess for Labour Day, today
It’s the first day I ain’t seen
A great plume of steam from across the lake
From across the lake
Hey, that’s a morning moon, yeah.

I’m not making strain
Said, “Someone’s paying
When something’s too cheap
Somebody’s paying something”
You said, “Some one’s paying something.”
Under a morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don’t make anyone feel better, yeah

It didn’t take too much to upset her
Nothing that could clear the room
To say one little thing that could make me feel better
Under this morning moon, yeah

The sun’s a lightbulb and the moon is a mirror
There are times when you can see both the bulb and the mirror
See the bulb and the mirror
And that’s the morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don’t make anyone feel better

It doesn’t take too much to upset her
Nothing that could clear the room
Just saying one little thing trying to make you feel better
Under this morning moon, yeah
Under this morning moon

Morning moon, yeah
Trying to make you feel better
Nothing too far from the truth

For Daniel.

Hi Folks,

The Hip

I love Thursdays.

I wonder if ‘Unca Mike’ will like this album? It is a little more “Honky Tonk”…

(Guess who has a new tracksuit on order?)
