Episode Notes:
Oh how I love filming at the Bottom of the Hill. Of course, it is a bit hard to film when you want to dance to the music, and Manishevitz's music inspires a bit of dancing around. I first discovered Manishevitz's music when listening to a college radio station (KALX?) many years ago. The song was "Ice Pick", and it was a very dark and striking country-ish ballad. I was hooked. Fast forward about 5 years and Manishevitz has evolved their sound more in the direction of Roxy Music. I love the sound of the earlier stuff dearly, but the new stuff is a bit more fun and rockin'.

Episode Errata:

  • None so far.

    Equipment Used:
    Footage was shot on both the Sony DCR-HC20 and Sony DSR-PD150 on MiniDV. The show was edited at the AccessSF edit suite.
