jess@studio3z:
just saw your tweet above and since I am not friends with you in FB or twitter, I decided to post here. If you are not already listening to Greg Laswell, you need to. His music is great, words greater, and considering what you like- you may really dig. Especially check out his "Three flights" album.

I'll see your goodies: death cab, mgmt, k-os, the weepies, she&him, noah and the whale...and i'll raise you these other goodies: my morning jacket, caribou, brandi carlile, m.ward, joel plaskett, the champion heartache, jenny lewis, bright eyes, band of horses, ray lamontage, ana egge, the stables...and that is enough for now. much love.

ra ra riot is genius
Piggy-backing off of last month's Blitzen Trapper genius mix, Ra Ra Riot's The Rhumb Line has been in my collection since it's release. It's only been just recently that I've cozied up next to it and gotten comfortable. Not only do they compose poppy indie rock tunes, but they boast an understated sense of prep style while doing it. Also check out Santogold, Foals and what many a critics have deemed the best album of the year, T.V. On the Radio's Dear Science.
Bailey:
Just so you know, I would pay thousands of dollars for your music collection
as well as your ability to take phenomenal pictures.
Both are pretty intense.

blitzen trapper is genius
Hitting the "genius" button in my iTunes library on Blitzen Trapper's Furr yields a lineup of indie folk singer/songwriters that transport you to another time. The Portland sextet are in good company with the likes of Dr. Dog, Conor Oberst, Ra Ra Riot and fellow North-westerners, Fleet Foxes. Give some of these guys a listen, you may like what you hear.
Shawn Kloster:
I'm soo glad you posted this. I heard about these guys previously and completely forgot about it. I will own "Furr"! Thanks!!

spoon is genius
Here at FRED EGAN, photography isn't the only area of interest worth gabbing about. In fact, I hope that's obvious from this year's posts. Art, fashion, music and of course, photography, span the gamut of relative topics worth discussing. In an effort to not only bring you new music I'm bumping, I'm hitting Apple's "Genius" button on some of my favorite new artists to also bring some older tunes into the spotlight.
Spoon's The Way We Get By is such an anthem jam that gets your head bobbin' and your lips singing along to Britt Daniel's raspy vocals. Check out the rest of the artists and enjoy the ones you're already listening to. Cheers.
Erik Miguel:
I've listened to "I Summon You" more than any other song in my I-Tunes library!

amy schubert:
spoon = genius ... obviously.
You know they did the soundtrack for 'Stranger Than Fiction' (one of my favorite movies)?
And Gimme Fiction IS fantastic...

one zero
My forefinger methodically pulled back and forth on the scroll wheel as I scanned my iTunes library for the answer. As I was wrapping up a phone consultation with Kellan Studios last night, they capped our video iChat with the time honored question, "If you could only listen to one album the rest of your life, which one would it be?" If you're like me, I'm more apt to provide an answer to, "What's your favorite album this week?" Movies, music, photographs...they all exist on this whimsical carousel of current taste; however, there is one album that I need to listen to for the rest of my life.
One Zero by Derek Webb is essentially the gospel of Jesus Christ in 10 unadulterated, brutally honest songs. Stripped to just a voice and a guitar, the message is given center stage. Loving the poor, grace, politics, the great commission, the struggle between loving money and loving God...Derek spares no expense. This is the album I need to hear everyday...the gospel I need to live everyday.
"The truth is I need you just like the air I breathe,
just like a freight train needs the tracks beneath.
I'd rather suffer my whole life,
and be this rich man's wife.
If loving you means suffering."
-Derek Webb
JD McCulley:
Thanks for sharing this! I hadn't listened to Derek Webb since Caedmon days. How refreshing and real this album is!
(01.01.09 11:54 AM)
Aaron:
Dude...LOVE this album. Wedding Dress is one of my favorites and the version on this album is simple and raw...like most of Derek's work. Nice choice.

Derek Webb is one of the most honest and inspirational Christian artists out there. I also appreciate his band Cademons Call, but i'm more into his solo stuff.
(12.03.08 01:45 PM)
wrecklessgirl:
i need to grab this album...sounds amazing. perhaps those who haven't heard of him---have heard of the fantastic caedmon's call, the band he was a member of during the 90's and sporadically involved with throughout the millenium ;)
(12.03.08 12:49 PM)
Susan P.:
It's so refreshing to see someone using their blog as a platform to voice their love for the Lord and desire to serve Him (without being pushy or judging) in the hope that just one more person might come to know Him! God bless you! P.S. You are a great photographer and I have enjoyed following your blog and Mammoth Men adventures :)
(12.03.08 12:46 PM)
Ryan and Kelly:
So glad that question struck a chord with you. Truly and awesome artist and record. Ryan's vote is for anything Rich Mullins....I would have to go along that lines too. Thanks again Fred, we loved every second of talking with you and are still praying through your advice. Keep keepin' it real.
(12.03.08 12:35 PM)
Tim Halberg:
Dude... rock on, glad you're so open/straight forward about your faith. I'm always amazed at how many Christians there are in this industry.
I've got some older stuff of Derek, but I'll have to check out this album.
(12.03.08 12:34 PM)
Sarah D.:
You're a Christian? And a photographer? AND a Derek Webb fan???!!!????!??? You've just moved up onto my heroes list. Derek is the best. His wife Sandra is amazing, too. I saw them in concert two months ago for the first time, which was amazing. His music stirs my heart.
Thanks for blogging about it.
(12.03.08 12:28 PM)
David Blakeman:
I'm glad you can be honest about your faith on your blog, Fred. That's something that deserves validation. I sometimes think there aren't any other photographers in this world that love Jesus. I'm glad to know that there's a couple out there. Keep rockin' & rollin'.
(12.03.08 12:23 PM)
Jamie Delaine:
Dude thank you!! I've never heard of Derek! I'm buying this right now on iTunes.

Among other areas of expertise outside of the Bro Code, Barney Stinson knows how to make a good "Get Psyched" mix. In preparation for Mammoth Men 3, I present my "GET PSYCHED!" mix in honor of his awesomeness...HIGH FIVES!

william fitzsimmons
The world needed to discover the tales of William Fitzsimmons long before I did. I say this in all gravity, this is more than likely one of the best folk albums I've ever experienced. Quite possibly the best album I've ever listened to, period. He touches on the human condition more eloquently and honestly than anyone I know.
Jory and I were talking the other night while singing out loud to his brilliant tunes, and I realized one of the reasons I've formed such an affinity for his songs...they are not lyrically abstract.
It's as if he reached down into my broken heart and created this honest beauty from it. The Sparrow and the Crow rarely plays without tears accompanying Fitzsimmon's delicately crafted songs. I believe that's why I'm enthralled with his latest project: the tears serve as an outward manifestation of pain...and the pain, in turn, reminds me that I'm still alive. He's managed to document the relational progression between two people over 12 songs...brutal honesty, consequence, forgiveness, hope, etc. Hands down, the most impressive concept album to grace my iTunes library to date.
FRED EGAN:
Ashley <<< "I Don't Feel It Anymore" breaks my heart and chokes the tears from my eyes. I love that whole album, it's simply beautiful.
(10.24.08 12:51 AM)
ashley PARSONS:
we recently discovered him as well. "I don't feel it anymore" might be the most beautiful and deep song I've ever heard.
(10.22.08 11:05 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Wrecklessgirl <<< And I cannot NOT thank you for introducing me to The Sparrow and the Crow :-)

(10.14.08 10:07 AM)
Jamie:
OH WILLIAM! I just heard about him probably two weeks ago!!! Kristy (wrecklessgirl) showed me a duet of King of Wishful Thinking he sang with Ingrid--AMAZING!
(10.14.08 09:49 AM)
Kenny Kim:
I got to see him perform in Chicago. You are right he is talented. I very much enjoyed him and Brooke Fraser. I'm guessing you already know about her but if not, check her out!
(10.14.08 09:38 AM)
Michelle:
I went to College with William and I discovered his music a couple years ago. It's fun to see how many people know about him now. He is an amazing artist!

austin city limits
Last weekend, Jory Cordy and I dashed down to Austin, Texas for the legend...wait for it...DARY music festival. Sweltering heat, dirt filled air and live music define ACL's festival every Fall. Just to name a few of the rad artists we saw...
-Vampire Weekend
-Patty Griffin
-MGMT
-Jose Gonzalez
-Iron & Wine
-Hot Chip
-Tegan & Sara
-Connor Oberst and the Mountain Valley Band
-Fleet Foxes
-Priscilla Ahn
Best solo performance: Jose Gonzalez (the man was incredible on his classical guitar)
Best band performance: MGMT (THE BAND to see at ACL this year. When the intro to Kids ripped open, the masses erupted.)
Some random self portraits while wandering around Zilker Park. There were so many music goers at ACL that many of the bikes were parked in the trees.
September:
You didn't tell me you saw Priscilla Ahn! I've been playing her CD nonstop for about two weeks now. Fantastic.
(10.08.08 12:42 AM)
racheljenae:
Well I have to admit you got me started on Iron and Wine and now I'm a huge fan...amidst others. And thanks for reminding me of how badly I want a snow cone today!

I'm glad you enjoyed MGMT at ACL. Their performance at Lollapalooza was a snooze fest, and I heard the same about their set at Bonnaroo.

While I was in Santa Monica a couple of week's ago I managed to fly back with Free People's September playlist...and that deserves a "WHAMMY!" I've carefully hand picked my personal favorite 25 songs/artists for your discovering pleasure (please exit RSS readers...um NOW).
I've found most great mixes consist of hits, staples and new discoveries...this mix fits the bill, enjoy :)
And to continually show my appreciation for you guys that stop by...and take time out of your day to share your thoughts with me, I'm giving Amy Teegan of Amy Teegan Photography $10 to iTunes-whoop!

austin city limits imix
Austin City Limits is less than a month away and I'm pretty excited to be experiencing my first one...I know, I've lived in Texas all this time-what's wrong with me??? I have no excuse other than festivals haven't really been my scene...until now. Once I return with some photos, then the jury will be in on the experience. Until then, I threw this playlist together of the artists I'm looking forward to seeing in Austin, TX (exit RSS readers to view the iMix).

Additional survival tips for ACL Fest: buy a camelbak and throw it in a backpack. Bring a bandana -- wet, it'll keep your head (or neck) cool, or in a pinch, act as a dust mask.

you are going to LOVE it! My first one was in 2004 - first semester at UT. 3 days of non-stop, on-your-feet, badass music :) Just take a hat, shades, buy tons of water, bring a backpack to carry all of that water, and wear shorts and a tank - seriously, when you get closer to the stages, everyone is arm to arm, basically spooning. Everyone's friendly, though! You should try and see Mason Jennings - he's amazing live.

"parking" mix
Music touches us all...our relational moments especially. In fact, a single song can trigger the memory of a first kiss, or the first time you tried to put your arm around a girl and had to abort to an over-exaggerated yawn. This week's iMix salutes those moments...and will hopefully aid in creating new ones (my RSS readers may need to visit my blog to view the mix). Just load these up on your iPod, grab the person you can't live without and go park somewhere (Sidenote: if you live on the west coast please go park on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean at sunset...for me). Here's to fogging up windows...
Kirsten Mavric:
Hi Fred. First comment here although I have been following your blog a lot recently. Love your work, I find it very inspiring... anyway, what I am posting on this thread for is to say that if you like the Hotel Cafe stuff, you should check out Tom McRae. www.myspace.com/tommcrae

"youre so emo" imix
Now, people often think that a good mix should rise and fall but people are wrong. It should be all emo baby! Now prepare yourselves for an audio journey into the white hot center of deep diary-like outpourings of emotion. The perfect serving for a rainy day indoors while cozied up with a book...or for commiserating over a girl. Boys & girls, I present you my "popular" emo mix...
*And a hug goes to the person who can tell me what comedy sitcom I loosely ripped my entry from...and 5 minutes of uninterrupted eye contact to the person who can name the song featured on his mix!
And as always...every 100th commenter receives $10 in Amazon or iTunes music :)

Fred - off topic - knowing your a Wired fan, you'll no doubt dig Rob Haggart's (A Photo Editor blog) interview with Scott Dadich, Creative Director at Wired - at aphotoeditor dot com

I have a short attention span when it comes to emo. So much stuff I'd rather be listening to instead. I'm just not that into it. I could probably only listen to three of those songs in one sitting. :lol:
Always interesting to see what others are listening to though- even the stuff I'm not into.

Heather:

half of your songs on this playlist is what's in my radio everyday.

head boppin pop/punk
Pop-punk...it makes your head bop. And this week's mix will do a brilliant job of just that. If you're in your RSS reader, hop on over here to peruse the iMix. Sorry this didn't come out last Tuesday. I've been on the road alot and not to mention my high speed internet was out for 4 days last week (bloody CHARTER!).
In other music news, Marco Wang left the 400th comment and has $10 of music from Amazon/iTunes comin' to him...it pays to give your two cents (and be a Facebook fan) :) As always, what's some of your favorite pop-punk???
FRED EGAN:
Simon P <<< That's brilliant man! The part of about becoming your main source of new music...not about spending a fortune on iTunes :-/
(06.19.08 12:23 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Chriselda <<< You're my favorite! Thanks for visiting the actual blog...alot of time and effort went into this for your viewing/reading pleasure!

hotel cafe imix
This week's iMix features artists that have been touring on the Hotel Cafe tour that is the brainchild of Cary Brothers. I caught the tour as they came through Dallas and I'm crushing pretty hard on Sara Barielles. She's pretty flippin' cute on stage and her siren-esque voice hypnotizes me. Their Dallas show was quite enjoyable. You might not see the iMix in RSS.
So in other music related news, Ann Baker just received a $10 Amazon gif certificate by contributing the 200th comment to my blog since it went LIVE last week. Congratulations! The 300th commenter will receive their choice of an iTunes or Amazon gift card (wherever your prefer to purchase your DRM-free music). Good luck!
kimberlee west:
nice recommendation - love all of these artists; meiko is one of my faves right now.
(05.24.08 07:40 AM)
Mabyn:
The Hotel Cafe Tour rocked! It came to my part of town a couple months ago. I got some sweet shots! No Sara on this part of the tour but she came to Syracuse University a couple days later so I got to see her for the second time. She pretty much rocks my life!
(05.21.08 09:17 PM)
jasonhuang:
sweet set! i also have a high school crush on bareilles. she so pretty. though i thought ingrid michaelson put on a very fun performance. man, the whole tour was full of awesome talent!
(05.20.08 07:03 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Rachel <<< Alway good to have favorites in a mix. They help introduce you to the new artists :)
(05.20.08 11:32 AM)
Rachel Dallaire:
Awesome mix Fred! Some of my favorites and some new ones to look into. Thanks for sharing these, I love finding new music.

comment and win itunes music
A huge Texas thanks is in order to everyone who's stopped by my new blog since it went LIVE last week. Your comments are flippin' rad and I love getting to know some of you that stop by. You guys have already racked up over 100 comments! So, being the avid music lover that I am, I'm giving away a $10 iTunes gift certificate* to the 200th commenter (and the 300th, 400th, 500th and so on) :D
All you have to do is:
A. be the 200th commenter (and don't forget to input your email address)
B. become a fan on my Facebook fan page (of course, you'll need to have a facebook account)
C. check back often to see who's won!
You'll notice that I've actually commented quite a bit as well...due largely in part to my desire to create a conversation on my blog. If you have a question for me, ask it in the comments section instead of sending me an email. This way, everyone benefits from your curiosity.
*in giving away iTunes gift certificates I am solely advocating purchasing iTunes Plus music from the Apple iTunes music store. If you decide to ignorantly moronically purchase lower quality/DRM songs from iTunes in which you have to enter a blast'd password just to listen to your music...well then, I have no sympathy for you and you've learned nothing from reading this blog.
Lara:
Hi Fred, No judgement meant. It's just been a looooooong time since I've heard or thought about those guys. Duran Duran, is my NKOTB :)
(05.22.08 07:50 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Jessica <<< Awh, thanks! Let me know if there's anything I can do to make the experience better or more relevant.
(05.17.08 01:25 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Hans <<< I'm really enjoying it also...blogging is more enjoyable and natural with the Moveable Type backend. The Weepies' Hideaway is such a good album, right?!?
(05.15.08 01:40 AM)
Hansel Dobbs:
Fred, I am really enjoying the new pad here. It's lots of fun. Also, thanks for the heads up on the Weepies. I bought their recent album on Amazon and I am really enjoying it.
(05.14.08 09:42 PM)
MARCO WANG:
BOYZ II MEN is my NKOTB... I fully intend to purchase II upon receiving the gift card... Nathan, Michael, Shawn, and Wanya for the win...
(05.14.08 08:26 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Lara <<< Yes, seriously, NKOTB...I'm a fan if not for anything else but nostalgia...no judgement please. I was a wee bit giddy visiting their blog and getting reacquainted with Jordan, Joey, Jonathan, Donnie and Danny...it'll be interesting to see how their first album in 14 years pans out.
(05.14.08 08:20 PM)
Lara:
Excellent. Just stoppin' by, taking a break whilst editing to old Felt and Drutti Column. NKOB, seriously?!! Just heard a repeat of a great interview on Terry Gross of Marc Walburg.

FRED EGAN:
Leah <<< LOL! Alright, one more hooked on Vampire Weekend :) Oh, I guess that's two since your 15 month old is bustin' out his crazy moves to Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.
(05.14.08 03:53 PM)
Leah:
Thanks to you I have become a Vampire Weekendaholic, my 15 month old loves it too, he has some crazy moves!!
(05.14.08 03:46 PM)
JASON HUANG:
Looks like I will have some competition in my 100 straight up comments vigil I am holding tonight....
(05.14.08 02:23 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Rachel <<< Few can resist free music...it touches many of us :) And you'd be surprised how many people just don't know about music quality...it's tragic.
(05.14.08 12:29 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Tori <<< Alright-so you made it out of your Google reader! Rad! Hope to read your comments more often...or better yet, your questions.
(05.14.08 12:23 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Kate <<< Thanks for saying hi and coming out from under the shadows :)
(05.14.08 12:22 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Marco <<< You're right man...I can totally offer Amazon gift certificates for mp3s!
(05.14.08 12:21 PM)
Rachel Dallaire:
Who can resist the possibility of free music? And who would buy music that isn't DRM-free? :-)
(05.14.08 11:42 AM)
Tori Clements:
This is a great way to get the Google Readers to come comment! I read every blog but never comment but, what can I say, I'm a music lover! Love your stuff!
(05.14.08 09:26 AM)
MARCO WANG:

(05.14.08 08:02 AM)
FRED EGAN:
Jason <<< There's no shame in revealing yourself :) Not in the name of FREE music anyways!
(05.14.08 03:24 AM)
Jason Huang:
what a sneaky way to get the blog stalkers to reveal themselves! here's your first. :-)
