Some of you may have attended the Zaireeka listening party we hosted awhile ago. After a lot of trial and error it actually came off pretty well and I think we all had fun (and some of us even enjoyed the CD…s.)

Last night we attended Tim League’s listening party and I am pretty sure that his version blew ours out of the water. It helps, I suppose, that as a well-connected member of the business community Tim was able to arrange a massive professional outdoor sound system and set it up in Round Rock’s Old Settler’s Park, and as a well-connected member of the entertainment community he was able to line up two opening acts — the Austin Theremonic Orchestra and Pong (who are playing the ACL Festival) — that were awesome, and as owner of the Alamo Drafthouse he was able to erect four movie screens at the cardinal compass points of the park and wrangle his movie-geek high-level employees to create synchronized videos to accompany the audio (plus a guest video editing spot from Willey Wiggins).
