It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Nilsson

There's a documentary about Harry Nilsson that just premiered at the Santa Barbara Film Festival (it ain't Cannes, but hey, man, it's better than no film festival at all).

I heard about this from a co-worker, who mentioned that Nilsson was basically his all-time favorite artist. This was the third time HN had come up in the past week.

Things like this (which is to say totally random coincidences that have absolutely naught to do with me) never fail to inspire. So Nelson Sings Nilsson is on again. I've hired a producer and a band. The schedule remains to be determined but it's going to have to be soon, because people have better things to do.

Not that you asked, obviously, but here are a couple of the old demos, featuring Rob Knop on piano.

It's about damn time. I've been listening to the entire Nelson Sings Nilsson demo CD for... uhm... since April of 2005? Yes. That's right.

And you need some new photos for this seannelson.net of yours. Call me.
