a proud sister or a little cd release party right here on my blog
my brother (my baby brother. my "oh my goodness i am really realizing he is totally an adult" brother. my incredibly talented brother. my kind hearted brother. my brother matthew.), along with three of his pretty darn incredible friends, who together are daytime volume, have just had their first CD released.
it is called: the day we transposed
it is available: on amazon and at itunes
when he called me last year to tell me he had really finished it (not only did he play the drums and various other instruments, but he recorded all of it, produced all of it, engineered all of it, and did all the other things that happen when an album is made), it was clear he knew he had helped create something incredible. he talked about a life's work represented in eleven songs. of course, he is only 25, so he has a lot more life's work ahead of him. still, it is pretty amazing to realize all that you know and all that you hope to say and show people about what you love is contained in a little package that someone you don't even know can buy on amazon.com.
so pass the cheese tray, little stuffed mushrooms, fruit, and the cabernet (these are just some of the things i would be serving if i actually could have you over for a cd release party) and settle in and listen to some wicked cool songs.
"stop taking my picture, you are acting like a groupie"
(so i might have walked right up to him when he was playing with another band last week and taken his picture...he was just setting up and testing out the sound of the drums before they got started. i mean if i was a groupie he wouldn't have been annoyed...it was just because i am his sister...and that is what sisters do. take photos to show mom.)

You must be soooo proud. I'm listening to some of the songs as I write this and I really like the sound!

I feel compelled to state the obvious. Your brother is HOT.
Yeah, very cool, Liz! It's amazing how young someone can be now and be so motivated! I swear it took me forever and I still don't know if I am!
Congratulations and I hope your brother is very successful in whatever he wants to do!
congrats to the bro! that is so exciting!!! and i'd love and invite to your cd party...that would be way cool...
ps--i can see the family resemblance...
Wonderful news! Wanted a talented soul.
WoW!!!! Liz....This is very cool! I listened to the music!!! Now! I have to buy this CD! :-)
What a cool brother and that's a great photo you took of him: it would be perfect for this week's Photo Friday subject "brother", you should submit it :)
ooh, the music is fantastic - i'll go buy the album... is it okay that i think your bro is a bit of a fox? Yum
;-)
Well, you know I support all musicians...but PORTLAND musicians?! Those the most. ;) Wishing them success.
As a big sister who knows how irritating it is when friends say this, I'm sorry: your brother is a hottie.
Hello, brother.
