In the three years since Carol Bui released her second record Everyone Wore White, the Tacoma, Washington resident developed two very intense hobbies: drums and Middle Eastern dance. Both of these new pursuits play a role on Bui’s upcoming third record Red Ship available 3/8/11 on Bui’s own Ex Oh Records. Led by the single “Mira: You’re Free With Me” to be released on November 16th, the material on Red Ship is a festive, fiery blend of celebratory Middle Eastern and North African percussion coupled with progressive pop melodic tendencies.
The single brims with the musicality that caused Pitchfork to call Bui’s previous album “...a punk-bred record where the guitar is loud but the tunes prevail” and My Old Kentucky Blog to proclaim it the completion of the rock trifecta that also includes Liz Phair’s Exile In Guyille and PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me. Bui sings, plays drums, guitar, an out-of-tune doumbek, and cabasa on the track. Her longtime collaborator, TJ Lipple of Aloha plays bass and Jason Merriman claps his hands zealously.

Howdy everyone, South-By is just around the corner, so its time to discuss how to start things right. Luckily, we have you covered! As we've done for the last three years, we've set up a lunch for Refreshers from around the world on Friday, March 11th from 11:30 to 2:30pm, to kick off SXSW Interactive. This is a great chance to catch up with Refreshers you met in years past and make some new friends before the conference starts i...n full. The lunch will be at B.D. Riley's, the same venue as in years past and will be a casual affair. We don't have any sponsors, so you'll need to pick up your own tab, but the pub is very accommodating and is happy to maintain separate checks. Even better, they're giving us happy hour prices and may throw in some appetizers. If you have any questions, please let me know. If possible please RSVP so we have an idea of how much space we'll need. That said, feel free to drop in even if you don't RSVP, all are welcome.

SXSW is coming up and as it has gotten bigger, it has gotten harder to find friends, so Kevin Smokler, Kevin Newsum, and I thought it would be nice to throw an "Old Timers Ball" for ye olde school webloggers to meet, greet, and catch up with each other on the first Friday night. It'll be at the Side Bar in Austin (map below) from 5-8pm. It's a no-host cash bar (you pay for your beers, basically) and we welcome friends new and old to come hang out.
(Featuring a UB the DJ set: bring your iPod, iPhone or mp3 player and we'll spin some of your tunes at the party)

Who: Entrepreneurs, startups, press, lurkers, and ambitious upstarts. How: Beer, awesome interviews and amazing people. Details Think of it as the Mixergy you love...live and in person...with top interviewees...and drinks. Making it possible Three people offered to sponsor the event and make it possible. Chris Savage, Wistia's founder, volunteered to sponsor before I even knew where or when it'll take place. (Wistia is the video platform I use for all of Mixergy's videos. Try it and you'll see why.) Ben Welch-Bolen, CEO of Site5 Hosting, is a guy I personally asked over dinner to do a Mixergy interview but he refused because he's not ready to reveal how well Site5 is doing. (If you come, please help me persuade him.) Josh Kaufman is the author of Personal MBA, the Amazon.com Business Management Bestseller. After spending 5 minutes on the phone with him, I practically begged Josh to teach me. I think you'll want to grab his book. Todd Garland, the Founder of BuySellAds.com, bought my last sponsorship spot. How fitting! Did you know there's a page on his site where you can see how much ad money he generates for every one of the publishers in his network? Before you buy or sell an online ad, check this page out. Credit where it's due The idea for this event wasn't mine. These two guys cooked it up and are helping me put it together. Noah Kagan - the founder of Killer Web Deals site, AppSumo.com and RewardLevel.com Damon Clinkscales - a software developer and community shepherd in Austin who is also a huge Mixergy fan. He loves to bring people together.
