I had the pleasure of talking with Andy Chase and Dominique Durand from Ivy. (Nettwerk) You’ve probably heard their music in movies (Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, Insomnia) or perhaps on TV (Grey’s Anatomy and Veronica Mars). They were incredible to talk with which is always a plus when talking with musicians who you’re madly in love with their music.
What’s the most impressive about there music is that it doesn’t seem to follow a formula. Having spawned several side projects (Brookville, Paco) and helped produce several others (Tahiti 80 for example) it seems as though the duo is never at a loss for ideas or willingness to try something new.
The interview will be featured on Episode 11 of The Dropcast.

In the past week I got the incurable itch to watch some older film. (Thus began the Steve McQueen watching last week) I perused what AMC and Turner Classic Movies had to offer in the coming weeks. So a few days ago it started. The original Sabrina (1954), starring Humphrey Bogart, Willam Holden, and the then unknown, Audrey Hepburn. It was extremely well done and I was shocked that the 1995 remake with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond was nearly verbatim. I guess so goes the “remake” of it.
Then today (brace yourselves) Pride and Prejudice (1940, Sir Laurence Olivier, Greer Garson) found it’s way to my TiVo, so I started to watch. I’ve never seen it before and according to Donald Miller, he’s been told “understanding that book is the key to a womans heart”. (Blue Like Jazz) Previous my only knowledge of the story is that there is some guy named Mr. Darcy and some girl named Jo (I Mean Elizabeth… thanks Kim) and that PBS made a mini series that is so long that it’s probably on right now still in it’s first run.
I’m not done with it yet but I’ll give you the scoop when I am.
Be prepared to absolutely amazed at this video of a high school talent show.

The t-shirts I ordered finally arrived. Above is just one of the shirts I ordered. Even as I type, I’m wearing my shirt with the above caption on it. Theses shirts are fun times for your entreprenuer friends or if you just want to be sarcastic on casual friday (my favorite). Reasonably priced and watercooler worthy. Check ‘em out at SoloTees.com
