Walt Whitman’s Younger Brother Was Not, Despite All Powers That Be, Named Jeff. He Was, In Fact, Christened George.

Dear Residents of Austin,

My friend Jeff Daily will be playing a show this weekend. For those who don’t know, this is my friend from high school, who, probably more than anyone else, got me interested in playing music and probably listening to music as well. Since there is no way I can make it, please go in my place and have a good time. Here is the flier.

Here are some helpful song uploads as well. Jeff is the oldest of three brothers, all of whom are excellent musicians, and I fondly remember the days of going over to the Daily house on Saturday afternoons and ‘jamming out’ for a while. I have uploaded two songs. The first is my personal favorite song by Plastic UNO Band, the home-recording project of Jeff and his youngest brother, Chris, from 2004, I believe. The song is about Peter Bogdonovich, it’s called “I have huge glasses.” The second song, “Weather Patters (X-Cite Bike Mix)” is one of my favorite old tape recordings of us playing. It eventually turned into a song for our short-lived band “Birth vs. Birth,” but I like this rockin’ freakout a ton better. This was probably about 4 years ago.

Go to the show.
