I just posted some snaps from the Porter, Batiste, Stoltz featuring Page McConnell show at Revolution Hall from 9/24/2008. A very funky time had by all!
A very apt show to get my feets wet with shooting live music again.

Two For The 2008 Jamtopia Concert Photo Contest
Submitted by mikewren on Sun 09/21/2008 @ 6:34 PMPublished in
Not long after shooting the Echo Project for State of Mind last fall, I fell out of the habit of snapping photos of live music for reasons both personal and professional. Here are two snaps, one from each show I shot earlier this year. They were submitted to the 2008 Jamtopia Concert Photo Contest on a whim. The judges are good people, and the terms of the contest seem fair, so why not.
FLAC Installer for Windows
Published in
FLAC stands for the Free Lossless Audio Codec. Created in 2001 by a dedicated group of developers led by Josh Coalson, FLAC has surpassed Shorten (SHN) as the most popular lossless audio codec in use today. The FLAC project is now under the direction of Xiph.org.
Many people contributed countless hours to create FLAC; I just (used to) maintain an installer to help keep things easy for Windows users. If you're a MacOS user, Scott Brown has created an handy audio tool for OS X called xACT.
Oshe's Final Show?

Billy over at Albanystage.com is floating the rumor of a very surprising disbanding of local favs, Oshe. Their tourdates page lists a show this Friday in Maine as the last scheduled, with the remainder of February's dates shown as canceled.
