Dana Falconberry in New York
The latest artist to join the 02:59 Roster is Michigan-born Austin-resident Dana Falconberry. Gifted with a voice that floats and dives from silky to edgy and a little-girl-lost air that gets totally demolished the moment she starts to sing, Dana did a CD release swing through New York in the last couple of weeks, playing a number of great shows across the city.
Her new CD, Oh Skies Of Gray, can be pre-ordered on Amazon.
Here she is at Googie's, doing "Singing Lullabies," 8/27/08:
And hre she is at The Living Room, doing the River Song, 9/17/08:

Down, down, down, down . . .
The great thing about working in the basement?
If I want to jump out of a window, I have to use a trampoline.

The D Word
Trying to get a handle on the current financial meltdown?
Start here.
Then go here.
And then go here.
I don't know about you, but when I was in school, I was taught that the reason America had a Depression was because banks were also capable of investing as well as taking deposits. When the investments failed, the deposits disappeared, and parks around the country became the residences of so many homeless people they were called Hoovervilles. Here's a picture of the one in Central Park:
The Government responded to the Great Depression by passing the Glass-Steagal Act, separating investment firms from banks, and creating the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1933. In 1999 Clinton signed the Financial Services Modernization Act, effectively repealing Glass Steagal, proving once again that nobody in this country learns from history, particularly its so-called leaders.
See you on the bread line.
