Week of Busy Bodies & Strange Nonsense.
Howdy. What a busy week. Even last weekend was busy. All's going well with Lynne's forced exile in stalag biovarg, working by leaps and bounds. She's happier than she's been in a while, so that's good.
Bandelirium, Chapel Hill's local music trivia gameshow, shot the fifth and sixth episodes on Monday night. It's going well! I did the logo design for it. The show is really great actually, and quite funny. I'll post more about it later. Next shoot is on Monday night, 21 March 2005 at the Cave.
Things starting to grow outside and I'm forced to venture out and kill some of it with my bare hands. Might even try to plant some mandrake seeds my Mother gave me. Will they take? Think they won't? Betony too. All the bulbs have sprung from the warm ground. They cycle of life continues.
Radio. Went well on Sunday, with Uncle Bob helping me dj.. in fact, choosing over half the songs. He's a great resource. I asked him about his first-ever blues concert... it was the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, when he saw Muddy Waters, Rev. Gary Davis, etc.! Pretty amazing. We talked about that for a while until my Mother wrote in to the chat line, and mentioned that she was there too! And, get this... she was pregnant with me! So I guess I was there too. Great having Uncle Bob up there, and really great to have him talk about shows he's seen. He's been an amazing influence on my life.
TUNE IN this Sunday night when I have the Woggles on from 9-10pm eastern, on the Who's Got The Cuckoo garage rock show. They are recording in the area and I hope they can make it. Either way, tune in, it'll be fun.
Art show tonight. Carrboro Arts Center, with the lightbox thing that I mentioned on my last post. The show will be up for the rest of the month, so check it out if you got the time. 'Cross the street is the Mark Mothersbaugh show (DEVO frontman) at Templeball. After that I was going to go home and set a fire in my cauldron that my brother Jonathan gave me, but it's raining... so again I've got a night of sitting alone in the basement listening to records.
CD of the Week. Dressy Bessy by Dressy Bessy. More of that great Elephant-6ish 60s powerpop, really bubblegum and just the kind of thing to keep me out of winter's doldrums. They're from Denver, check out their website. Also have been listening to a German garage group called the Satelliters, pretty good stuff, the recording is great, and a few really great fuzz songs, some psych. Even a Rickenbacker heard on that record! Fun. Oh yeah, and the Zombies' Oddessy and Oracle, from Enrique. golly.
Plans for next weekend are go on a bikeride weekender with my cousin Austin in Virginia and hurl ourselves down a rocky slope with his boyscout troops. Camping and baked beans are also involved. Marshmallows? Hope so. Next week after that I go to Atlanta to hang out with my good friend Ash. Plans are to drink a lot, play Halo2 on his xbox, speak German with a Swedish accent, and sing songs of the French revolution. Also going to see my darlings Isabelle and Ian, Jonathan and Stacy too.
Hooray UNC! Victory at last. Sunday we beat Duke, today Florida State. Tomorrow? The WORLD.
