Halfway House Sessions – Charles The Osprey

Photo by Jeremy Best.

It’s fair to say that Charles The Osprey isn’t like any other band we’ve had come into the Stone House to record a session – which we find very exciting. . .

Sure – maybe your mum won’t give it a spin but these are surely some talented musicians and could find a nice cozy home amongst your record collection. . .

Don’t believe me? Head on over here. . .

You can purchase their latest effort ‘Consider’ – from Friction Records – over here or here. . .Either way – purchase it. . .

Their next Grand Rapids show takes place @ The DAAC on October 16th. . .

Look:
The lovely LaRae was once again on hand to take some happy snaps of Charles The Osprey in action.

Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin’ About Him)? – Trailer

From LorberFilms:

‘A wildly entertaining, star-studded documentary about The Beatles’s favorite American musician, WHO IS HARRY NILSSON (AND WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKIN’ ABOUT HIM)? is a vibrant and definitive portrait of one of the most talented singer-songwriters in pop music history. Directed by Emmy and Grammy nominee John Scheinfeld (THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON), the film combines compelling interviews with Nilsson’s family, friends and colleagues — including Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Robin Williams, Micky Dolenz and Yoko Ono — with rare and never-before-seen archival footage, home movies, and excerpts from a recently discovered oral autobiography. The film delves deeply into Nilsson’s artistic process, his spirited relationship with John Lennon, and the additions that haunted him in and outside the studio — as well as the peace he found as a devoted husband and father.’

Here’s a review from The Onion‘s AV Club. . .
