Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

No, I didn't film Attack Attack!, but it's just about as bad. :psyduck: Let's see how pandering to the lowest common denominator works out.

I haven't posted a lot of new videos since my previous reply, but since I now have a new computer that can render these things out about 5 times faster than before, I should be able to start catching up with not only some newly filmed shows, but a lot of the backlog from the past year, so I'll have some GOOD stuff to post to make up for this one.

Jimor:
Some new material.

The opening acts from that Breathe Carolina show, who were both local and much better performers.

Headlines with Everything About Us, and a cover of Jimmy Eat World's The Middle.

Taking's Not Stealing, with Something I'm Not, Worry Not, and Don't Tease Me. What really impresses me beyond the music is how great they are with their fans, really making a personal connection with so many of them both at the shows and online.

And finally, I got a chance to shoot an intimate show at a local coffeehouse where Cake's bassist, Gabe Nelson, brought his for-fun side-project, Bellygunner. Negative Kids, and This Tree.

Jimor:
Lots of news since I've last posted! The biggest is that I'm producing a short series of shoots this Summer at one of the clubs downtown. One of the perks of being a qualified member of the access station is being able to use the remote truck, essentially an entire multi-camera TV studio stuffed into a converted RV. We have 4 shoots set up, with 3 acts each time, and I'll then turn each set into a half-hour episode for the station, then post them online. A nice chance to get some really nice quality live footage of some of our best acts in town. I also have carte blanche from the boss at the station to turn my personally filmed footage into a show for the station, so that's something I'm working on as well. Finally, I have my Songwriter Sacramento show (1-hour in-studio songwriter showcase) that I haven't done anything with in a while that I need to get up and running again. I have a couple of shoots already in the can that just need editing.

Between all these, and my regular live shoots that I post on this YouTube page, I'm starting to get more and more recognition from people in the local scene.

Anyway, enough talk, time for some music!

Another super charming teen act 99, 100 rocking the toy piano! [urlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP9UJtEBxOE]Rabbit Season[/url], Heather, and Serial Killers.

Parie Wood with People.

The Generals, who are unashamedly stuck in the 90s (which hits right in the sweet spot of my own personal taste). Alive, Rain or Shine, and Thank You.

Another couple from Nat Lefkoff. Amazing songwriter for somebody so young. What's the Truth, and The Long Wait.

Survival Guide, another duo with that big synth rock sound (and I can't help but crush on Emily a little bit). Symptoms, and The Walls.

And that's it for now. I made a quick estimate, and I've recorded approximately 130 sets of music since last August, with about 70 hours of footage, only a small fraction of which I've processed so far. On top of all the current projects and new shoots, I still need to catch up on all that!

Jimor:
It's been almost a year since I opened this thread, and a LOT has happened since then. I do have to say that the TV shoot I talked about in the last post went GREAT, and I have some fantastic material from all 3 acts that I can't wait to share. I might have some thoughts on that later, but now, more music!

First, a brush with "fame". Lindsey Pavao is a local singer who was on this season of The Voice, making it to the semi-finals before being eliminated (the show going from 8 down to 4 finalists). Really nice voice and some really good performances on the show, even though I feel it's largely pointless to judge a singer based on nothing but covers. Anyway, she's back home and trying to adjust to life back in the real world, and one of her first local performances was at a bar downtown with a friend opening, and a band I know well and have shot a few times playing 2nd and her headlining.

So I figured I'd go to see what she can do. Unfortunately, for the purposes of filming, all the "fans" drawn to the gig because of her TV fame turned out to be drunken louts who couldn't figure out that screaming "WE LOVE YOU LINDSEY!" in the middle of a quiet acoustic song kinda ruins it for everybody else in the crowd. So the only salvageable footage I got was when the 2nd band joined her for a couple of the covers that made her famous, and were loud enough to drown out most of the idiots. Posted one so far.

Lindsey Pavao - Somebody That I Used To Know

Next up, Autumn Sky released her 2nd full-length CD on Saturday. Here's one of the new tracks, Best and Worst.

Another friend released his CD that night as well, and I'll have a clip from him shortly, but to open for both of them, Ricky Berger once again left a stunned crowd with performances like A Wish Is A Dream Your Heart Breaks. Amazing piano fireworks, even if she did screw up once and whisper "shit!" into the microphone.  :wink:

A few days earlier, another amazing female voice from the area performed her last show before moving up to Humboldt. Jesi Naomi with In My Veins.

James Cavern from earlier that night covering Pursuit of Happiness.

Then to close out that night, something of a local all-star band jam out for 26 minutes on The ReOccurring Dream

Then the day after, I head down to a lunchtime park show, and get a full set from Island of Black and White. Really great energy from them, and because it's outdoors, some of the best sound I get. I also fancied up the transitions between songs with the event sponsor logo, and some shots from around the park. Trying to up my game as far as overall presentation so I can start attracting some paying gigs with this stuff!

One thing I'd like to do in this thread over the next few weeks is start building a convenient artist/song index in the original post to make it easy for anybody curious to just browse around my page. I have about 245 clips up now, and so many more to come!

Jimor:
OK, the 1st and 3rd message of this thread now contain a complete list of the live music posted to my YouTube page, arranged by artist name, then song title (if a song repeats, it's in order of posting), with a few full sets listed last under those artists.

I count 72 different artists on the page, that now has nearly 270 live videos. I know that I have maybe 20 more acts that I've never gotten around to posting, so I'll try to catch up with some of that in the coming weeks.

I'm too tired to say more than that at the moment. Feel free to click random links, and if you like what you hear, post about it!  :-)
