I hate cutesy-ness. Especially since I don't the chance to be so here.
Last night I went to a totally awesome show (and missed crew practice this
morning as a result. oops. I'm kind of tuned into that 6-hr sleep
thing.) After a year of wistfully looking at the board at the Bottom
Line, passing it every day on my way across the street to the math
building, I bought a ticket to a show -- the late show for Rockapella.
If you like to watch PBS kids' shows (which I did in high school and
college), Rockapella was the musical accompaniment to "Where in the World
is Carmen Sandiego?". They are very, very good at what they do: a capella
signing. Barry, the bass, has an unbelievably low voice (and he sang "16
tons", which would've made my dad smile); Jeff, the "percussionist", had
guitar pickups taped to his throat and has a kick-ass web site (at aol,
but we can't all be perfect -- his login is CrazyLips, I believe). I
won't describe the other band members right now; I think they're all
rather cute and have a great style.
=sigh=
I love live music. I love live, unamplified music.
How I miss you, Ninth Street Bakery (wah!)
I think I shall kill all who watch what I'm typing.
It's amazing what people think is eavesdropping nowadays. You have to
have sharp eyes (razor-sharp vision! slice!) and sharp ears nowadays to
catch the good stuff.
I have an 80s CD waiting for me. I wonder what it contains. I think it
is retaliation for a wacky musical choice. We shall see.
