I hope you enjoyed Headlight's video as much as I did. Here's another great clip. This one's courtesy of our friends in The SilenTreatment [Official, Myspace, Facebook] We're big fans of these guys and I think you'll see why after the jump
What do you think? Pretty sweet huh. Michael and the gang are working with ReverbNation to make one of their songs available as a free download thanks to Microsoft so I'll be sure to post a link for you guys to take advantage of that when it goes live. Until then, feel free to check out and download some other great independent artist's music at reverbnation.com/playlist7.
Can't wait to get your ears on some of TST's tunes? We can't blame you. Here you go: [iTunes, Rhapsody] ;)
Hope this finds you feeling healthy!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to our show at Urban Outfitters yesterday! That was a blast.
Today, one of our Twitter followers, @Amie_FM, shared a TweetCloud with us. If you're not familiar with TweetCoulds, I hope you'll take a moment to check out icodefolove.com. Chad Scira, the creator, has put together a remarkably intuitive and super neat little web app to allow you to "generate a cool looking cloud of the words your tweets mostly contain."
Here's what I got when I plugged in our @atris account:
Our top three words were thanks, check, and atris. I thought that was pretty appropriate :)
If you use Twitter, I hope you'll copy and paste what you get in our comments section below!

*I know the live performances from this album are from 1972(i think) but it wasn't released until 2003, so i just had to include it. :P ...probably my all time favourite live album.
I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! Did anyone manage to grab any good deals today? My hat's off to those of you who joined the crowds of holiday shoppers this morning. You were in my thoughts as I made myself a cup of hot chocolate, stretched out, and finished reading another Grisham novel. No lines for me!
What are your holiday plans? I'm looking forward to starting to put the finishing touches on some of the material for a'tris' next record. If you are in or around the DC area I hope to see you tomorrow! I'll be performing a couple of the new songs at Urban Outfitters and I can't wait to share them with you! I also have a limited number of "Of The Commons" CDs to give away at the end of the show! I don't think you could find a better stocking stuffer. But I may be biased.
If you'd like to introduce your friends to our music and are not in the DC area, iTunes allows you to easily gift albums, and we've made it even easier for you to buy ours. All you have to do is click here and then choose gift this artist. I'm sure many of you are aware of this, but I only discovered it last week so - if you're like me - here's a helpful screencast:
1. Thanks to The Modern Vocalist for recently featuring us! It was seriously cool to be recognized by them. TMV is made up of extraordinarily talented vocalists and vocal coaches so that really meant a lot to me personally.
2. Thanks to Leah DeVon from Indie Style TV, Rob Saunders from Deuce Management and Promotions, and the folks at Comcast! In Leah's latest episode, she had a great chat with Rob about the music biz and shared our music video from "Automatic Doors". If you're a subscirber and would like to catch our video on the big box be sure to check your local listings! I've included a clip of the show below for you if you'd like to watch it on your computer.
Hope this finds you all feeling healthy!
