He maintains a personal blog at StreeterSeidell.com and wants to make sure you know he once wrote something for the New York Times and that it was, in the words of his mother, "Amazing! You're so talented!"

Another week, another couple of hours spent trolling Indaba for popping sessions. I'm happy to say that all that work has paid off and I've found a few that I've been listening to over and over again. First up is...
Robot Chills Out -Now, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the name of this session, but that's probably what some record exec said when The Beatles pitched The White Album. The latest mix of this session, by Roman B, is ethereal, steady and, above all, pleasing. It's the kind of song you listen to and and instantly imagine yourself in a movie. Like, you're walking around, this tune pops up on your iPod and you imagine your life having far more meaning and being far more artistic than it really is. 
Strings - I must be in a pretty chill mood because Jamie Williams' session, Strings, is also a bit ethereal. However, it drives ahead thanks a steady bass drum / shaker combo. The picking is at once both intricate and accessible. It reminds me very much of the begining few bars Bela Fleck's "Big Country" (that's a good thing).
Finally, let's take a look a young lady by the name of Teeter Sperber. She's one half of Ladybirds, purveyors of "Electrotacular cheezepop terrificness." I've been replaying their posted songs over and over and liking them more each time.
