Room 125 Productions

Room 125 Productions is the pseudonym of the film/media department of Lawrence High School in Lawrence, KS. Although Mr. Kuhr and students of Room 125 seem to do an immense amount of really cool film and music projects, I'm totally enthralled by their Classroom Sessions. Mr. Kuhr brings in independent musicians to be interviewed an filmed by the students of Room 125 Productions. The teacher and the music fan in me are both overwhelmed by the opportunity provided to both the students and to the artists themselves. Great work Mr Kuhr, keep it up! I'll be sure to post my student interviews and music footage once I get my own version of this going at my school. 


I've selected some of my favorite sessions below, but here's a link to the entire set of the Classroom Sessions.
The Head and The Heart - Rivers and Roads

Damien Jurado - Rachel & Cali

The Civil Wars - I've Got This Friend

Bryan John Appleby - The Words of the Revelator

Tastiest of 2011 - The Head and The Heart

One of my favorite albums of 2011 was one of the earliest from the year. The Head and the Heart released their self-titled debut album in the early part of 2011, and it was fantastic. After hearing the song Lost in my Mind for the first time, I went home and listened to the song four times in a row back to back. After downloading their Daytrotter Session, I was totally hooked.
In terms of their songs, I always go back to Lost in My Mind as my "go to" song from this band. I know it's their most popular, but this song has failed to burn itself out for me.  The Head And The Heart – Lost in My Mind 
 
But this album and band are so good that I can’t leave it at that. Here’s Down in the Valley… The Head And The Heart – Down in the Valley
…and Rivers and Roads. I like this song because it really showcases the other band members.   The Head And The Heart – Rivers and Roads 

My picturesque summer barbecue would feature The Head and The Heart playing their music out around my chiminea well into the the night.
