Music Bus!

Check out the bottom webinar, very worth the watch.  The question and answer session is very enlightening.  Reading “Good to Great and the Social Sectors” by Jim Collins instead of sleeping like a responsible human right now…

Great goings on: Rochester and otherwise…

Just saw the Garth Fagan Dance company with Kim this evening.  Fan. Tastic.  See them at the Nazareth Performing Art Center this week, $15 for students!  

Other recommendations for music this week come from my iPod world and the wormholes of youtube and vimeo:

David Bowie: Station to Station (Deluxe Edition)

- I’ll have to say that my new, before-undiscovered fave from the studio and live tracks is TVC 15.

Punch Brothers: Antifogmatic (Deluxe Version)… I like to keep it deluxe.

- The live videos show how great the interplay and focus of this supergroup is.  I like the covers, but 99 Years/Train 45 is unstoppable.  Also, look for a Quintopus version of “You Are” in the future…

Jeff Buckly: Live at Sin-é

- Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.  And the rest of the album.  The ‘Doors reverb convo with Sony’…

Frank Zappa: Buffalo

- The whole band is nasty and experimental on this live show.  Ray White makes some great false starts on what becomes the “Easy Meat” vocal cadenza.  Vinnie C plays some mean everything.

Busdriver: Imaginary Places video.  Bwa.
