Brown U. alums
I just had this realization the other day that a lot of people who went to school with Damian are rockers in their own right. Like:
Lavender Diamond -- Becky Stark was also a semiotics major (wonder if they hung out?). Sweet, positive folk rock, kind of like Fairport Convention
Elvis Perkins -- dated (?) Becky Stark; also the son of the actor who played Norman Bates in Psycho. Gorgeous folky rock, similar to Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
Erin McKeown -- Old-timey singer; really nifty early rock sound.
...and those are just the people in Damian's class. Other musical Brown grads include Duncan Sheik, Lisa Loeb, and Liz from the band Ida.
(If I might get egotistical here, seeing that list and realizing I'm these people's age makes me wish I went to RISD and hung out with the Brown students. Instead, I had to be an autodidact. GRRR!)
