James Blackwood
Sometimes it’s nice to see someone making music external to the neuroses of the music industry, outside of the game. James Blackwood has no facebook, no soundcloud or twitter, no formal release plans and no idea what he is doing, most of the time. He just writes some really rather good songs, records them, puts them on his bandcamp and sends them to his friends. Inevitably he himself hates them a few months later and deletes them out of existence. In a sense it’s sort of like Snowy Nasdaq’s one song a month campaign (wherein he deletes that song at the end of its one month life) except with even less intent. James Blackwood is a cosmic deity, lobbing songs into the universe from behind a distant sun, sweaty from proximity and nebulous as all hell, later swallowing them once again in the fury of his astral vortex. Maybe just give these a listen, think about the words, think about the guitar parts, think about how lovely they are and then go see him play with Tim Fitz on Saturday night at FBi Social.
