Remember Me

Some things must be shared.

Former Concord Monitor (NH) photojournalist Preston Gannaway won a Pulitzer Prize for her photos in a series of articles which “chronicle the death of Carolynne St. Pierre, a Concord NH woman who wanted to leave her children with a record of her final months.” Ms. St. Pierre was a nurse who left behind her husband and three children as well as many other loved ones. The online version is this amazing, beautiful photo-audio slide show called “Remember Me.”

This powerful multimedia documentary is uplifting and heartbreaking. The story and story-telling are life changing.

It's A Dance Party This Satuday Morning

The Foals new album Antidote will be the feature artist/album this Saturday Morning. The Foals have a dance/pop quality to go along with their alt-rockness. From their Wikipedia entry:

"Foals are an indie rock band from Oxford, England. The band are signed with Transgressive Records in Europe and Sub Pop in the USA. A full length album—entitled Antidotes—was released on 24 March 2008 in the UK, and will be released in the USA on 8 April. It was originally to have been produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio^[1] but the band discarded Sitek's final mix and remixed the entire record themselves because Sitek's heavy use of reverb had given their recording a "spacey" sound that they disliked."

I've been listening through the album all week and am liking what I'm hearing. These guys have been around since 2005 and this looks to be their debut album. I love the debuts, especially when they are good. This one is good. Please do plan to join me as we explore the Foals' Antidote on Saturday Morning.
