I am a sucker for this city and for Bernal Hill, where my dogs and I tend to be very happy. On Friday evening, we listened in the darkness as the city came alive with the sounds of release, and in particular I focused on the echoing sounds of a live band playing somewhere below us; I could hear the singer exhorting the audience, I could hear the tuning instruments, I could hear the distortions of the sounds as they reverberated through a neighborhood, and it was almost moving to think of drinking, conversing people down in the streets trying to make something out of the night.
The sounds didn't make it onto this little video -which is dull, and demonstrates why I ought to upgrade to a camera that autofocuses video- so I put in Tortoise's "Seneca."
