Eric Lindley pka Careful is an emerging artist I met and keep tabs on. He has posted three new videos on the main site for that kind of stuff.

I would like to see Careful in the Bay Area some time soon. I once tried to break into Capitol Records in LA to give his previous cd to an A&R guy who had discovered Gnarls Barkley. I recall that there was flowers and candles that day near George Harrison’s Hollywood Star, a fact that helped said A&R guy distinguish me from being a crank call or complete out to lunch I couldn’t get into the lobby — not even by name-dropping the six or seven gold or platinum acts I had presented — and reached the dude by cold-calling his department, or more precisely called former extensions of his predecessors. He came out via the side door and gave me about 120 seconds of time to describe Eric Lindley pka Careful and what qualified me to schlep for him. It was definitely more Broadway Danny Rose than All The Kings Men.

edit to add, the new year, 2012: Here is humble video of Eric reading a short poem in New York:
