The Who have a new album out.

Wow - cool!

I mean, OK, "Behind Blue Eyes" it ain't - but it's always nice to hear from Pete & Roger!

The Claudette's on NPR's Mountain Stage.

I have been a big fan of the keyboardist since he played at my sister's wedding.

Nice.
Keyboardist Johnny Iguana looks an awful lot like Art Iguana (yes, the surname was a nom de gig), who sand lead & play keytar in Life Without Fear (for whom I did sound back in '86).


Peter (who, it being that kind of band, was always introduced as "Hertz Rolloff on sound"; yep, even the sound guy got a name!)

Clear Audience

Local free jazz group

Love going to see these guys

So there IS music in this but also a shameless plug for what my nephew has been involved with.
7:30 short film.

Long story short, Film Underground is him and a group of friends.  They compete in a 48 hour film challenge, 48 hours from being presented a theme to finished product.  This is their latest and it is going to be screened in the Netherlands next year... if it achieves an award there it will be shown at Cannes.



Paul (who thinks Hertz Rolloff is the coolest name ever!)

If short films are your thing I strongly recommend viewing the rest of Film Underground's pieces, some are previous years eateries in the 48 hourFilm Fest and others are more thought out and planned.
Enjoy!

Disco infects N. Korea.........

hahahahahaha...that synched so well. but who thinks of things like that? Tony

Nephew's Film Underground project looks good, Paul. I've been wondering lately where my own Nephew's talent will take him. That kid can play everything. And unfortunately, never really focuses on anything. 

Largely because of the 5/8/77 take on Scarlet Begonias, I started working at it. (so good...) Phil's fellas have a pretty good rip at it here from Terrapin Crossroads...

The latest Tiny Desk Concert—great songs and killer grooves by Raphael Saadiq.

Peter, that NK video was hilarious. Thanks! That made my morning 

This is Corte di Lunas with their new recent release, I love their sound . Their stellar musicianship and wonderfully beautiful vocals are truly noteworthy !
****Please give them a listen .****

John Fogarty Live on PBS - an American Icon, just like Alembic!

Yeah.  I mean, I've seen film of goose-stepping many times, from many countries - but never before with that little bounce the N. Koreans put in; that is just the icing on the cake!

Peter  (who knew N. Korea was evil - just didn't realize it was disco evil!)

Corti di Lunas, did not expect the bass solo, which made it all that much better.  I liked the whole vibe of the video.

Pauldo . I am happy that you like the  Cort di Lunas  vid . I am FB friends with some of them .  They are an Italian band that is representative of a current wave of  medieval / renaissance  folk rock fusion that is sweeping across Europe . Notice the use of the Hurdy Gurdy .  I have been looking for a Hurdy Gurdy player and a Bag Piper that has a chromatically enable instrument for starting a project that I am interested in my self .
