Talked to a few people who said Borderland in East Aurora was great yesterday. Franti and Portugal the Man had a lot of energy. I have never seen Franti live but looked up some shows and they look like a good time.  

 

Up today - Infamous Stringdusters + the Flaming Lips

Looks fantastic.  Good reason to come to Western NY next fall.

Another emphatic "yes" to Zappa's question "Does humor belong in music?". 

In 1981, an album called "Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports" was released. While Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was a co-producer and actually played the drums, all music and lyrics were provided by Carla Bley, who is better known as a {free} jazz artist. Most vocals were by Robert Wyatt (ex-Soft Machine). In this song, they poke fun of musical "minimalists" (Satie, Cage, Glass) by addressing them "mineralists".

 

 

My personal favorite: a spoof on alien encounters...

Love the Zappa/Caravan reference here...

I admit that I don't listen a lot of new music.  Part of the issue is that I put a hard stop on listening for enjoyment as I work on my music or produce / mix for somebody else.  And the other part of it is that I *strongly dislike* the artificially loud nature of modern music.  Big Data, though?  Yeah, it's got the artificially loud delivery, but it also hits that sweet spot of the 1980s -- that I loved back in the day.

solo her voice reminds me a bit of Haley Westenra who I love (but my speakers don't).  Didn't recognize her from this group at first:

 

I had heard of the Jenny’s but only heard them after hearing Ruth solo.  They have great voices that go very well together.  Check out “Glory Bound”.  Both Moody and Heather Massey are great lyricists.  I originally found Ruth through her work with Mark Knopfler (unlikely but perfect duo).  They each worked on albums of the other and toured together.
