This sample sounds promising. I can't wait to hear more from _Reflektor_ on the 9th.<!-- excerpt -->

|

tags: ['music', 'Blitzen Trapper']

|

|
||||
[I'm not quite sure what to make of this new track.](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/blitzen-trapper-visit-old-memories-in-ever-loved-once-song-premiere-20130730) It's a mellow, well-written song that's consistent with Blitzen Trapper's past material but it doesn't quite make the connection that their previous hits did.<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
The production feels a bit light and monotonous but I don't think that's what feels off here. I'm curious to hear what the rest of the album sounds like but I'm not quite sure where to set my expectations for it.

|

tags: ['music', 'Hanni El Khatib']

|
||||
|
||||
The most recent entry in to the Santa Monica Pier's Twilight Concert series featured Bombino and Hanni El Khatib performing to a packed crowd on the pier that spilled out on to the beach.<!-- excerpt --> The weather and setting was picturesque, though Bombino's opening set was lackluster. I wasn't familiar with their music but it consisted of a jangly guitar melody, bouncy drum beat and slightly varied tempos.
|
||||
|
||||
Hanni El Khatib put on a strong, energetic performance (though the supporting guitarist/bassist were a bit dull). The sound was muddy but not overly hampered as the band ran through covers and tracks from both of his full length albums.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall it was a great show, a nice crowd and a fantastic setting for a concert. (It was also sponsored by myspace — the new myspace.)

Damien Jurado has been one of my favorite musicians for years. He's a talented, albeit nervous, performer and a gifted songwriter.<!-- excerpt --> The announcement that he'll have a new record out in 2014 is exciting and something that I am very much looking forward to. If the new material he played live when I saw him at the Bootleg Theater in April is any indication it should be even more experimental and unique than _Maraqopa_. I cannot wait to hear it.

A wonderful new video for one of the highlights of Dawes' most recent album _Stories Don't End_. I love videos from bands that give an insight in to live shows from both their perspective and that of their fans.<!-- excerpt --> The format steps away from the "video as a portrayal of a song's subject" approach and, instead, presents what goes in to bringing that song to life for fans night in and night out.
|
||||
|
||||
Damien Jurado gave "Museum of Flight" off of _Maraqopa_ a similar treatment that's also very [much worth checking out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCcAKNSJ3Ac).

> "There is a fifteenfold difference in the price of cabernet sauvignon grapes that are grown in Napa Valley and cabernet sauvignon grapes grown in Fresno" in California’s hot Central Valley, says Kim Cahill, a scientist researching climate change's effect on viticulture who has also done consulting for the wine industry. "Cab grapes grown in Napa sold [in 2006] for $4,100 a ton. In Fresno, the price was $260 a ton. The difference in average temperature between Napa and Fresno was five degrees Fahrenheit."

An interesting rendition of Hanni El Khatib's "Save Me" in the desert near Joshua Tree via NPR's "Field Recordings" series. The performance isn't as strong as the recorded version but it's interesting nonetheless and translates reasonably well in an acoustic setting.<!-- excerpt -->

|
||||
> Though the album itself won't see the light of day for weeks, the Seattle alt-folk, rock sextet has been testing out the new stuff on rapt audiences over the course of the past few months, letting the clap-happy "Shake" and the earnest build of "Another Story" sweep over curious audiences eager to hear what the band's been mulling over since "Lost In My Mind" became a playlist classic in 2011.
|
||||
|
||||
I cannot wait to get my hands on _Let's Be Still_ and finally see The Head and The Heart live.<!-- excerpt --> I've listened to their debut countless times since first discovering the band and, if "Shake" is any indication of the direction the band took on the new album, I will be doing doing the same as soon as _Let's Be Still_ is released.

Dawes played an acoustic set at the Whole Foods in West Hollywood to celebrate Whole Foods adding a record store to the location. Brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith were joined on stage by Tay Strathairn with the elder Goldsmith leading the band through a range of songs from the band's 3 albums."<!-- excerpt -->

|

> "It's a great honor to play on front of Whole Foods. God knows we've put enough money into this place." - Taylor Goldsmith
|
||||
|
||||
Taylor's voice was the highlight of what was an inspired set of songs well-suited to the acoustic format. The band stuck to longer songs that benefited from the 3 members on stage harmonizing and backed by a guitar, light percussion and the ever-present sound of LA traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get the chance to see Dawes on the road supporting _Stories Don't End_, do not hesitate to go. They are truly a fantastic live act.

title: Publishing to Kirby using Drafts workflows
|
||||
tags: ['iOS']
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
I have recently begun publishing content to my [Kirby](http://getkirby.com) powered site using workflows from the endlessly-customizable [Drafts](http://agiletortoise.com/).<!-- excerpt --> The workflows I use send text formatted for my site's notes / blog template to [Textastic](http://www.textasticapp.com/). I then place the resulting text file in a folder named for the URL I want to assign to the post and push the folder to the appropriate content directory on my site.
|
||||
|
||||
My notes template uses four different text file names to differentiate between published content types and I have created a Drafts workflow for each name.
|
||||
|
||||
**Text post workflow:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
'textastic://x-callback-url/new?name=note.text.txt&text=Title:%20[[title]]%0D----%0DDate:%20[[date|%m.%d.%Y]]%0D----%0DText:%20[[body]]'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
So, for example, if the following were placed in to a draft ...
|
||||
|
||||
_Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet_
|
||||
|
||||
_Consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse imperdiet ullamcorper accumsan. Duis et rhoncus odio. Vestibulum rhoncus nisl diam, non malesuada odio condimentum in. Morbi ut nisi nec erat viverra blandit at dapibus nibh._
|
||||
|
||||
... the workflow above would create a text file in Textastic named note.text.txt that contains:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Title: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
|
||||
----
|
||||
Date: 08.20.2013
|
||||
----
|
||||
Text: Consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse imperdiet ullamcorper accumsan. Duis et rhoncus odio. Vestibulum rhoncus nisl diam, non malesuada odio condimentum in. Morbi ut nisi nec erat viverra blandit at dapibus nibh.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Link post workflow:**
|
||||
|
||||
This would output the following ...
|
||||
|
||||
_Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet_
|
||||
|
||||
_Consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse imperdiet ullamcorper accumsan. Duis et rhoncus odio. Vestibulum rhoncus nisl diam, non malesuada odio condimentum in. Morbi ut nisi nec erat viverra blandit at dapibus bibh._
|
||||
|
||||
... as:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Title: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
|
||||
----
|
||||
Date: 08.20.2013
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
Text: Consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse imperdiet ullamcorper accumsan. Duis et rhoncus odio. Vestibulum rhoncus nisl diam, non malesuada odio condimentum in. Morbi ut nisi nec erat viverra blandit at dapibus nibh.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It's worth noting that this particular workflow is a bit messy inasmuch as I've included an arbitrary number of Drafts line tags to account for any additional paragraphs of text after the first. Using the [[body]] tag in this instance would result in the "Link: http://google.com" line being included with the text.
|
||||
|
||||
The final two post types / work flows I use are identical to the first aside from the name of the file they supply to Textastic. They are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
**Image post workflow:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
'textastic://x-callback-url/new?name=note.image.txt&text=Title:%20[[title]]%0D----%0DWhen:%20[[date|%m.%d.%Y]]%0D----%0DText:%20[[body]]'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Gallery post workflow:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
textastic://x-callback-url/new?name=note.gallery.txt&text=Title:%20[[title]]%0D----%0DWhen:%20[[date|%m.%d.%Y]]%0D----%0DText:%20[[body]]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using these actions to publish content from Drafts to your Kirby-based site should be as simple as changing the file name sent to Textastic in each workflow. If you run in to any problems or have any suggestions for improving these workflows feel free to [let me know](mailto:hi@coryd.me).
|
||||
|
||||
Many thanks to [Alex Duner](http://alexduner.com/) and [Nate Boateng](http://rantsandrambles.net/) for the Statamic Drafts workflow they provided to get me pointed in the right direction on this.

I was finally able to see The National for the first time. The band has been promoting their newest release, _Trouble Will Find Me_ on the road but, after having missed them at Outside Lands, the Greek Theatre and the Hollywood Forever Cemetary, my final shot to catch them on this run through California was their performance at _Jimmy Kimmel Live_.<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
The band ran through cuts from their newest record at a breakneck pace that I didn't expect having listened to them exclusively on record up to that point.
|
||||
|
||||
Matt Berninger and company ran through "Graceless" and "This Is The Last Time" for Kimmel's audience before breaking out the wine, upping the tempo and getting in to other highlights from _Trouble Will Find Me_ ("Sea of Love", most notably).
|
||||
|
||||
Berninger also broke out the wine after the TV cameras stopped rolling.
|
||||
|
||||
> Are we off the air? Ok, I can drink wine then.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get the chance to see The National on this run, don't hesitate to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
**Setlist:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Graceless
|
||||
2. This Is The Last Time
|
||||
3. Don't Swallow the Cap
|
||||
4. Sea of Love
|
||||
5. Pink Rabbits

A well-produced documentary and a great look at a band who, ten years later (and after only one album), still means so much to so many people.<!-- excerpt -->

This is an extremely creative and well-executed move by Okkervil River to promote their new album, _The Silver Gymnasium_.<!-- excerpt --> The game is well developed and evokes immediate nostalgia if you've ever played any older, 8-bit video games.
|
||||
|
||||
I can't wait to get my hands on the new album and see the band at The Wiltern in October.

A nice, brief interview with Greg Pierce, the developer of [Drafts](http://agiletortoise.com/drafts/).<!-- excerpt --> Drafts has become an integral part of how I work from my phone and interact with other apps on it. I use Drafts for quick notes, composing emails, generating lists — you name it. Drafts has a permanent place in my dock and I can't wait to see what Pierce adds to the app next.

> "The connection to parents' music isn't entirely surprising. Music plays a central role in child rearing, both in the songs children are taught at home and in school and in those heard more informally as part of the home environment. The songs parents choose to listen to reflect their taste, their values, their era."

Great read via NPR.<!-- excerpt --> Music means a great deal to me personally and, the older I get, the more I keep going back to the music I listened to with my parents as a kid. There's nothing quite like re-exploring old songs and albums that helped shape and guide my taste in music to where it is now.

I've been a fan of Godspeed You! Black Emperor since high school and finally got the chance to see them live. The band put on a devastating, energetic performance that was worth the nine or so year wait it took to see them.<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
Godspeed's set began with a low, droning noise as the band took the stage, lurching in to a noisy clamor and building to the first of many crescendos. The band played through classic pieces from their discography, silhouetted against a backdrop of Efrim Munick's rapidly shifting film footage. As the set progressed, members of the band shifted from instrument to instrument, as the sound changed and shifted with them. The performance progressed and grew with the visuals behind the band, developing in to a fully-realized performance piece rather than simply feeling like another concert.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get the chance to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor in the future, jump at the chance. They are easily one of the most incredible acts I've had the pleasure of seeing live. Brilliant.
|
||||
|
||||
**Setlist:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Hope Drone
|
||||
2. Mladic
|
||||
3. Chart #3
|
||||
4. World Police and Friendly Fire
|
||||
5. Behemoth
|
||||
6. The Sad Mafioso

I wish ditching a car in Los Angeles were a workable option for me personally but, at the moment, I have an sixteen mile round trip, daily commute that isn't workable with public transit.<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
**[Via NPR](http://www.npr.org/2013/08/21/209579037/why-millennials-are-ditching-cars-and-redefining-ownership):**
|
||||
|
||||
> "While they do still want to own a car — not as much as they want to own a smartphone, by the way, that's the physical possession they're most attached to — they are thinking about, 'Do I need a car or not?' in a way that I think five years ago or 10 years ago we wouldn't have seen to the same extent." — Jill Hennessy
|
||||
|
||||
The insurance cost is absurd and maintenance is a bit much as well, especially given the state of the city's streets. It's understandable, to say the least, why people my age are ditching cars in favor of more cost-effective public options.
