This past weekend THE DROP made the jump into video. First out of the gate is an interview with Lavender Diamond’s, Becky Stark. Get to know this group because they are great and do a feel good show. The interview was part of a bigger project called The Great American Road Trip and we took time to catch a great show and talk with Ms. Stark about what’s going on with the crew of Lavender Diamond.

Want Some Presents? http://www.thedroponline.com/2007/03/14/happy-birthday-want-some-presents/ http://www.thedroponline.com/2007/03/14/happy-birthday-want-some-presents/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2007 03:25:56 +0000 Dan Portnoy http://www.thedroponline.com/2007/03/14/happy-birthday-want-some-presents/ Happy Birthday!

One year ago this week we launched a small site and hoped for the best. Countless posts and hundreds of thousands of viewers later, we’re still here. And since this is our Birthday week and I thought it’d be cool if I gave some stuff away.

It’s super easy to win, here’s the deal:

1.) Submit a mix of your favorite music (5-10 tracks) in the comments section of this post before 3/28. Song Title and Artist please.(winners will be selected and notified via email for their mailing address)

2.) Style points awarded based on how the mix fits together either lyrically or thematically. (80’s metal, love ballads, and other non current music mixes acceptable and encouraged)

3.) The music editors will be selecting the winners.

Remember: THE DROP isn’t about trying to be cool it’s about how music affects all of us so give it your best shot.


So what do you win? I thought you’d never ask. How about I’ve got some limited pressing of t-Shirts from THE DROP complete with THE DROP logo on a 100 cotton T. Plus I’ve got a ton of CD’s to give away from THE DROP Vault.

Tell your friends and submit your best spring mix for big prizes from THE DROP.

I just posted about 70 photos to Flickr to give you a ringside seat on all the action from the latest installment of THE DROP Live! at Sweet Briar College. The show itself was a great one featuring songs from all of Bazans’ work with Pedro the Lion (currently touring with Ben Gibbard) as well as from his release, “Fewer Moving Parts”. Pattern is Movement also brought the noise and the funk as they jammed through a bakers dozen of songs mostly from their critically acllaimed “Stowaway” release. Pattern will next be heading to SXSW and you should check them out at the Hometapes Showcase (Scott Solter will be with them). Details on their Mypace page. After all the Austin merriment, the gents head into the studio to begin recording album number 3.
