Two music releases from people I know

Adam Woodall and Kirsten Bole have released some new recordings recently. Adam is one of the sometime members of my band, The Neurotics, and Kirsten is both a part of our local Vancouver web development community and a bass player. Her blog has the delightful title Crows to Burnaby, which will make sense to you if you live anywhere near Burnaby and look into the sky around dusk.

The Adam Woodall Band's album appeared earlier this year (the first since Adam's solo release Songs From My Parents' House in 2000), but I just got my copy, and Silver Ring is worth a listen for its great roots-rock pop songs. Kirsten's material is newly online, and includes five songs you can stream. She recorded them entirely herself, and they remind me of Sarah Harmer in her more contemplative moods.

Adam's song "Runaway" will appear on tomorrow's episode of Lip Gloss and Laptops, my wife's podcast, if you want to listen.
