CMJ 2008 Liveblogging: Dan Friel

Be sure to check out my Twitter sidebar doohickey for twitpic links for some live shots. Update: Live shots now incorporated into the liveblogged posts

Dan Friel (of Parts & Labor fame) plays electronicpunk compositions for head nodding. Along with his magic board, he drops some electro athems on you. I apologize for using the "a" word there, but you forgive me, right? I gots to say I like Dan Friel more than Princeton. Sorry Princeton. I like you banter. And now an mp3.

Downloadable: "Buzzards" (box.net mp3)

- Here's my favorite part of PTST's mini-interview with Dan Friel of Parts & Labor:

PTST: Which album is better; Parts & Labor's Receivers or your solo album Ghost Town?
DF: The trick is to play them both at the same time. If you do that then Jesus will appear and save you from The Financial Crisis.
