Sometimes, Jeff Pulver Makes Me Cry
I went to Jeff's traditional PulverParty this evening, footsore, dragging after a 8 AM to 8 PM series of introductions, meetings, and various other events.
I almost skipped it.
But I get there, and there's some guy on stage warming up for Herding Cats. He sounds good, can't really place where I've heard him before... and then somebody introduces him as Matthew Ebel.
*Lightbulb*
I heard Ebel's music over a year ago on Adam Curry's Daily Source Code podcast. Always meant to buy his album "Beer and Coffee," but never got around to it.
And now the effer is on stage and I go up and talk to him and gee, I can even buy his new album "Goodbye Planet Earth" for a paltry $10, well, live, at the Roxy.
Tazer me bro! Tazer me!
Oh, but it gets better; he's also got a box of the "Beer and Coffee" CDs rattling around, so I can buy both albums for $20 cash and consider it either an impulse buy or a noble effort to support a new artist.
Turns out Matt was in town with the podpeople for PodCamp run by Chris "Don't Taze Me, Bro" Brogan and knows Matt, blah-blah.
Matt sells his own music via the Internet and right now I'm listening to his music while processing the 70+ press releases for the day and it's the only thing that's keeping me sane at about midnight local time.
