JB's Miscellaneous Ramblings

Thanks to sensesurfer's pointer in reply to my last post, I now have 4 tickets to see The Residents, Sunday night at Showcase Live in Foxboro.

Who wants to go?
(Or you could get your own. I'll give away my extras at the door, though really, I doubt there'll be many people showing up without tickets in hand already.)

(If you know the world of odd music, you should be able to get a feel for my musical history when I tell you that, in 8th grade, my music teacher, led our class in developing a cover of Santa Dog (Or maybe SD '78)...)

Sunday night, The Residents (and if you don't know who they are (collectively, as no one (in theory) knows individually), I can't explain them. :) are playing down in Foxboro as part of The Bunny Boy tour.

I have no idea what this album sounds like, nor if there are even tickets available.

Should I go? Want to come with? Have you heard the album? Do you have comments about it?
(Wormwood didn't grab me, The King & Eye was great...)

Tickets seem to be $25+fees.

Does anyone have an mp3 of Weekend-Only World, by T.J. Burnside-Clapp?

I have it on tape someplace, and I have her hand-written original lyrics someplace, too...
but neither of them are easily findable, and even if I find the tape, it's hard to play it.

Thanks...

Now playing is the last track of non-podcast, non-audiobook I have that I haven't listened to since adding it to my itunes library.

Now it's time to listen to everything, in order. (Artist, Album by Year).

(http://www.lse.org/~jailbait/cds.html - plus a lot of downloaded music.)

It's odd, given that I've been listening to fairport and steeleye for so many years, but I'm still unnerved when bands I like change lead singers... Let alone half of the lineup.
(Entrain is now a 6-piece, with new (to me) vocals/gui/keys, sax, and lead guitar. Trombone, drums and bass are unchanged.)

(Originally written on Saturday. Post-by-email from my phone has been... hit or miss... recently for me.)

You know, It's been about 7 years since we went to WOMAD, but I still want to find recordings by the Chemirani Zarb Duo (or Trio, as may be)...

Edit, almost 6 months later: emusic.com has a bit of their stuff...

When you're listening to music, and you're listening to something you can't identify, and half the time you're saying "Zappa!" and the rest of the time you're saying "The Residents!", you should NOT be surprised when it turns out to be Captain Beefheart.

The later track where you're not sure if it's from Sesame Street? It could also be Zappa/Mothers. :)

Entrain's at Johnny D's on Friday. It MAY be too late to get a table for the show, or it may not.

Who wants to go?

I'll (try) to make the reservation this evening, 9ish.

If anyone wants to kick Pup, he probably wants to know about this.

21055 items. 58:03:51:36 total time. 101.87 GB.
That might still be a disc or 2 short, but I don't think so.

Ozric Tentacles are really great. Just sayin'.

(Would that I'd had the money to see them when they were in town 12-18 months ago... though it seems they'll be near various people in a month or so:
# 21-Jun- New York, NY [B.B. King Blues Club]
# 22-Jun - Falls Church, VA [State Theater]
)

Did I lend you my CD of Allan Sherman with Arthur Fiedler and The Boston Pops doing "Peter And The Commissar/Variations on 'How Dry I Am'/The End Of A Symphony"?

If so, can you let me know so that I can make a note about it so I know who to get it back from eventually?

Thanks!

... You see, my take on it is that the stickers/add-ons/etc. (at least when specific to the release in question) are part of the label/cover/zeitgeist and should thus be saved.

down to the nightclub...

back in to the booty vortex... (johnny d's, right now. You know you wanna!
