Armistice (Live from The Armistice Tour Japan) by @MUTEMATH

I love this song. It’s the title track from MUTEMATH’s album, Armistice
. I really enjoyed hearing it live in Atlanta last fall when I caught them there. It was a little weird at first listen, but it had a great jam and groove. I love what they did with it in a live setting.

The Tabernacle: Mute Math in Atlanta on a Friday Night

Nat and I had the awesome privilege of going to see MUTEMATH play in Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend at a great venue called The Tabernacle. It’s an old church that was converted into a nice concert hall. Probably one of the coolest ones I’ve ever been to or seen.

Jay-Z joins U2 for Sunday Bloody Sunday

I find Jay Z to feel/look a little awkward, but it’s an interesting collaboration, and an interesting song to do it on. Thoughts?

Musical Birds on a Wire

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

The first way was as a trio with a couple of friends. We did 4 songs that I wrote and a good time was had by all. I was very pleased with how [...]
