The sun was here then it disappeared. The sky keeps getting darker. I checked the weather which says sunny. It's not and doesn't look as if it will be. That's fine with me. I'm staying home and doing laundry. I figure a cloudy day is perfect for chores. I feel as if I'm not missing a thing. I'm back to isolation with the windows closed, but on a Monday morning not much is happening. The birds are in and out, and I enjoy watching them. The gold finches have disappeared but the chickadees have retunred. I guess they [...]
I forgot to blog yesterday. Too much happened. So I'm back-dating this entry to Sunday Night because...oh, if only my night had gone well enough for me to get this thing done. I keep repeating the words from that Partridge Family song "C'mon, Get Happy" but instead of the traditional lyrics I've been substituting my own version: Trav'lin' along there's a song that I'm singin' / "C'mon get depressed" That said, here's your mix tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth [...]
Rehberg & Schimckler via Tuesday, May 12 Peter Rehberg (aka Pita) & Marcus Schmickler at 17 Edinboro St #3 (Boston/Chinatown) ($10, 9:00, all ages?) I have no idea how long this show has been in the works but my buddy over at Popular Influence just tipped me off a couple days ago that Non-Event was hosting Peter Rehberg and Marcus Schmickler in our very own Boston. Rehberg is better known as the owner of Editions Mego [...]
Pita - 3 "3" from Pita's Get Out is the kind of song that makes it not matter what else is on the album. And in this case, that's a good thing because the rest of the tracks can't compete with "3." It starts out nice and pleasant with a weird rewind beat but at about a minute and a half, it jumps into the kind of ear penetration that makes you wince. And it [...]
A website called Spiralfrog launched this week. It provides about 800,000 free legal music downloads. Of course, the files can't be burned to CDs, and won't play on either the iPod or Zune MP3 players. So much for a solution to the crippling music piracy plague that continues to threaten the music industry with extinction. Here's a great idea I heard myself say the other day when I read this article: Stop trying. [ story ] More and more Americans are giving up their friends and sex for a life spent on the Internet. A recently conducted survey [...]
We've had our share in accessible music for the last few weeks, so now it's back to experimental stuff. One CD that got my attention was 27 year old Italian artist Andrea Belfi 's " Between Neck and Stomach ". He's been playing drums since he was 14, that gives you enough time to get bored of playing it the conventional way for sure!. "Between Neck & Stomach is grounded on two core elements: the first is the material collected during the unique experiment of turning a house into "a living creature with its own voice" (just [...]
