So I'm trying to find the price for the Fiesta Del Sol in Mexicali.

I'm gonna ride the greyhound to calexico and walk across the border to see THE Julieta Venegas on October 18th in Mexico.

Does anyone know the price or anywhere I can find the information, I've done an internet wide search, but to no avail. If all else fails I'm hoppin the damn fence.

It's 1:25am. Just finished recording another new song in my living room. Gotta wake up for work in 4 hours. It's called, "Walk all Night Long." Have a Listen.

Feedback Appreciated. :)

P.s. For Some Reason, it never gives me the option to put an mp3 in player format on my blogs, so just go to the silence club bakotopia profile if it doesn't work here. It'll be the first song in the player.

 

Love,

Aaron.

The Story of Tim Kasher

Tim Kasher (born August 19, 1974) is a musician from Omaha, Nebraska, and is the frontman of indie rock groups Cursive and The Good Life, both of which are on the Omaha based record label Saddle Creek Records. Prior to those bands, Kasher was in a band called Slowdown Virginia. He also made a brief appearance with the Omaha band Commander Venus and The March Hares.

Kasher has a very close relationship with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. They grew up in Nebraska together, went to the same Catholic high school, Creighton Prep. In the Bright Eyes song "Nothing Gets Crossed Out," Oberst sings, "Tim, I've heard your album and it's better than good," referring to the album Black Out by Kasher's band, The Good Life, released in 2002 on Saddle Creek Records. Furthermore, Oberst later sang backup on the song "Staying Alive," from Cursive's 2003 effort The Ugly Organ.

Kasher temporarily disbanded Cursive after the departure of guitarist Steve Pedersen (who left to pursue a law degree at Duke University and now leads the Saddle Creek band Criteria). Kasher married a woman named Kim and moved to Portland, Oregon. According to interviews, Kasher went through a bitter divorce in 2000, which led to the regrouping of Cursive, as well as providing the inspiration for The Good Life album Black Out and Cursive's Domestica.

The Good Life was originally planned to be a solo project. Kasher wanted to experiment with different types of lyrics and melodies. He released Novena on a Nocturn on Better Looking Records. He then recruited Ryan Fox, Roger Lewis and Stefanie Drootin into the band and released Black Out, Lovers Need Lawyers EP and Album of the Year.

In 2002, Kasher suffered a collapsed lung and was forced to cancel all US tour dates at the time. Because he lacked health insurance, Saddle Creek asked fans for donations to help pay for the cost of the operation. After healing, recording on The Ugly Organ began.

Kasher is currently touring with The Good Life, promoting their fourth full-length album, Help Wanted Nights, which was released on September 11, 2007.

In 2007, Kasher moved from Omaha to Los Angeles, California with his current girlfriend. While also working on new music with both Cursive and The Good Life, Kasher has recently taken up writing screenplays.

Until recently, Kasher played a silver Gibson Corvus II guitar. However, the guitar fell into disrepair, and Kasher now plays a Gibson Les Paul.

The Story of Yann Tiersen

When everyday life seems so tainted with negativity and you want to wipe it off of yourself, there's usually something or someone who can do that for you pretty easily. Whenever I feel down, happy or need to daydream about traveling the world and making big changes for all humans and not just myself, I look to one of many inspirations.

This is my Third series of biographies about the musicians or people that inspire my life and take it to an unexplainable new height. The following is a bunch of info gathered from the web to introduce you to YANN TIERSEN, if your not already familiar with him. And if you already are, I think you'll love this blog anyway.

Yann Tiersen (born June 23, 1970) is a French Avant-Garde/New Age Musician and composer known for his versatility, minimalist compositions, and virtuosity as a multi-instrumentalist. Most of his pieces include piano, accordion, melodica and violin, although many offer a much wider selection of instruments and sounds. Critics sometimes compare him to Erik Satie, Philip Glass, Nino Rota, Mogwai, Steve Reich, and the Penguin Café Orchestra for their musical proximity.

 

Biography

Tiersen was born in Brittany, France, in 1970 and received classical training at several musical academies, including those in Rennes, Nantes, and Boulogne. Before releasing scores under his own name, Tiersen recorded background music for a number of plays and short films, such as La Vie Rêvée des Anges (1998, Erick Zonca), Alice et Martin (1998, André Téchiné), Qui Plume la Lune? (Christine Carrière, 1999).

He rose to domestic fame upon the release of his third album, Le Phare, but remained relatively unknown outside France until the release of his score for Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain in 2001, which was a mixture of both new and previously released material.

Tiersen favors the piano, accordion, and violin, but is also known for his experimentation and use of obscure instruments like the ondes martenot and the typewriter.

Yann Tiersen's list of collaborators continues to grow album after album (see discography below for details). While composing his fifth album, L'absente, Tiersen lent his musical talent to Françoiz Breut and Les Têtes Raides for their own albums. His 2005 album, Les Retrouvailles, featured vocals from Stuart Staples of Tindersticks, Jane Birkin, and Elizabeth Fraser, formerly of Cocteau Twins. Tiersen also played piano on Staples' solo album, Lucky Dog Recordings 03-04.

His live performances vary greatly. Sometimes he is accompanied by an orchestra and many guest collaborators, like Dominique A. Others, he offers the more frequent minimalistic sessions, usually accompanied only by a drummer/bassist and a guitarist, with Tiersen switching seamlessly between piano, accordion, and violin for his lighter songs, and electric guitar for his harder pieces.
