those of you who didn't make it out to the sidewalk this sunday night missed not only another debilitatingly beautiful half-hour of alexa story's effortless lyricism, but also the rare opportunity to see me play mandolin at a hip-hop show. yeah, i didn't know about this either until i got there, but it was awesome. alexa (above, below right) and emcees danon and hosannah of uppanotch split an hour of hip-hop night, helping to forge the bonds of understanding between musical cultures, and donated their proceeds to the darfur solar oven project and the sudanese refugees it serves, and i didn't screw up too much, i don't think, so it was a productive evening all around.
in equally exciting news, alexa's new cd's, recorded by jesse p (below left), are available and awesome. the bad news is i'm not sure how you can get them before august, when she comes back from north carolina where she'll spend the summer attempting to kill the death penalty. in the meantime, you can listen to four of the tracks on her myspace page, and i highly recommend you do. (i'm on the first two.)
enjoy.
