We checked out this new downtown Franklin restaurant SOL last night with our friends Marc and Christy. Food was good, but did not live up to my expectations and wasn't really worth the late reservation...but the company was great. These are two friends that we definitely don't get to see enough of, so every time it comes together to hang out it is awesome. So, right now I am going to brag on Marc because someone should.
Marc has been working in the music industry for a long time now and has written some very popular songs. Besides writing the corporate hits I am most familiar with, he has been able to keep up his passion for ambient stuff. It's a project called Hammock. They got some good exposure during the last winter Olympics, but just recently they played the art opening for Riceboy Sleeps. Anybody who is familiar with the group Sigur Ros should know what I am talking about. But even more recently, one of Hammock's songs was featured on the ABC television show Dirty Sexy Money. (They want to feature more once the writers strikes are over.) I've come from working at a record label who has a strategic department for this stuff (actually it's just one girl who works her butt off). Anyways, without major label support, Hammock has been able to secure placement right up there with those guys. Kudos to you Marc and Andrew! You have been working really hard and hopefully more and more people will continue to notice.
