This kid was on Conan O’brian last night playing some Eric Clapton songs… and it wasn’t on Guitar Hero…

He was freakin incredible. And he’s only 8!

Why oh why couldn’t my parents have put a guitar in my hands when I was 3?

Here he is on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizRvpYHmrw&feature=related

On Monday we were suprised with free tickets to the Spoon/Walkmen show that had been sold out at least since we tried to buy them almost 2 months ago.

Two bands I really like. It was great.

Also, it was the first show I’d been to at Center Stage, which I really liked.

Kathleen, Liz, and I went to see the Manchester Orchestra play at the Masquerade last night. Liz and I have been working on a website for them and Kathleen has been doing all the writing for the site,  so they had us on the guest list.

The site should be live soon. I’ll post a link to it when it’s officially launched.

It has recently come to my attention that an old video featuring a young Christopher Covington has been uploaded to youtube.com. Before the rumors start to fly, I thought I’d set the record straight, right here, at christophercovington.com.

It was the Spring of two thousand and three. I had recently moved away from home and was living in the city of Atlanta. One day, there was something going on near the student center at GSU. It was a music video maker thing, and it was outside, right in the open for everybody to watch… My good friend Jonathan of course wanted to make one of these free music videos. No one else would do it with him. So I stepped up… They had lots of costumes, and, well, not a great selection of songs to choose from… And, without further ado… I bring you: Chris Covington and Jonathan Williams performing Bone Thugs and Harmony’s Crossroads:

The crowd seemed pleased…

If you didn’t watch the Oscars last night, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won for Best Song.

If you haven’t seen Once, you should.

Also, Diablo Cody won for Best Original Screenplay for Juno. So it was actually a pretty good Oscars night, I’m usually upset about a lot of the awards.
