The best day for my fav exclaimation - AHH BOO!
Sorry for the poor posting regime - I have taken up some other dropped habits since last update, tho….Started baking again & to coincide with increased caloric intake…started up the weights training plan, too.
Friday’s Kid Koala show surpassed my super-optimistic expectations. He spun a whimsical and magic web of pop-culture references & obscure vinyl finds - turning Arcade Fire hits into trip hop; Tribe Called Quest shoutouts into swirling bass-romps; Jazz solos w/ simultaneous turntable scratches….He understands tone & pitch far better than any ‘real’ musician out there. The accomplished ’solo-ing’ for his clarinet-bug-riffs were brilliant & made you forget it was coming from pre-recorded tunes…
Anywhoo - I wish KK all the best of luck - I know that NinjaTune is a well-recognized & well-respected label around the world & I hope that he rakes it in across North America & overseas! He certainly has invested a huge CHUNK into developing a great line of merch…
The weekend went off without a hitch - despite the poor weather, we moved Robyn & Justin in record time…Good P.S. catching up was had afterwards…& hopefully again this weekend we can do a bigger & better reunion without all the heavy lifting…
Sucks that I missed the Hold Steady gig this weekend, but the move & the cold were too depressing to venture out again. What a brilliant Seger-Springsteen-ish record, tho! In random poli-sci-nerdery-punditry, check out this Hold Steady endorsement here!
So in addition to that disc - I’ve been spinning the too-short Born Ruffians debut, J Mascis’ CBGB’s acoustic set, Pierre LaPointe’s debut (thanks to the L’ADISQ coverage), new Beck (of course - what a great performance on SNL - audience-cam Here!), old re-released Spoon EPs from Merge and Detroit Cobras (new un-cancelled concert date TBA…)
On that music-nerdy note…I’m out…Happy eggin’ Hallowe’en!
Random? Well, I never.
BUSTED! I hope you take this as a compliment…..
