Welcome back to the blog! Well it's Thursday the 10th and we're entering the final two weekends for The Mysterious Elephant. Folks we must insist that if you plan on coming to see it (which you should. I mean, how could you miss out? it's awesome, really)you should get your tickets ASAP because we will S.E. double L to the O.U.T. For Reals.
Since it's Thursday and there's only one little ticket left online for this evening's escapades, I thought I'd do a posting in reference to our awesome house music. Creating around the whole space is really important to us and the music we pick is no exception. Usually the uber talented Kate Nawrocki and myself (Emily Schwartz) sit down a month or two before the show opens and go through our music collections to try and find the right feeling/theme. As a writer I always have some songs that inspire me while i type and these are often a good jumping off point for the rest of the tracks we select. This year I was totally enamored with that Beirut song "Elephant Gun" as well as an acoustic version of 'Gold Lion' by the yeah yeah yeah's. As you can see below Elephant Gun made the final cut (I've stolen Kate's final track mix from her own blog 'indie girls Wear Glasses) and Gold Lion took the big dumpster dive but everything fits in there for a reason. And if you like any of the songs all are easily downloadable via itunes. Isn't the future amazing? Remember when you had to go to the record store to do such things? I marvel at innovation.
