Our good friend and once featured artist Stephanie Schwallie hosted her second annual holiday party featuring a performance by Julian Koster of the Music Tapes (and formerly Neutral Milk Hotel). This and last year's performance were part of an ambitious caroling project that attempts to take Julian to ever more living rooms and homes, performing multiple shows a night in countless cities across the country. This year Julian brought friends (in addition to Badger, his musical saw); he was joined by two other performers as well as a pop-up set of illuminated drummer boys and lambs. And, just like last year, his father sat in the audience, beaming with a glow of pride and boasting the loudest laughter in the room. The performance was nothing short of beautiful and we all felt so lucky to be there. Thanks to Julian and company for performing and to Steph for hosting! We will post photos soon, but in the mean time enjoy a video from yet another of his living room performances.
