Happy phat bass Tuesday, Mardi Gras, yeehahw y'all
So, I went to the Eastside Club tonight to meet the Grand Inquisitor out of Nowhere to pick up some drum heads. I misplaced the flyer Drew gave me at the gas station food mart the other night.... The Seoul Survivors were playing when I got there. Two saxes, phat bass, guitar, drums, front man singin it seoulfully... awesome. Guess I missed the mellonballer quartet. One of these days I gotta hear them. Seoul Survivors rocked it. Some friends came with face paint and mardi gras beads and gave me a string with a gold bone that says "creme d'etat". Guess that's "cream of the crop", or something like that. Survivors got me dancin' by the speaker. Good good good stuff. I didn't even mind missing the grand inquisitor. Don't know who that is, and who doesn't love a good mystery? And who doesn't love two phat saxes with phat bass and smooth vocals, solid drums and guitar? Know I do.
Night before, or guess it was Saturday night, heard
Sandman at the Capitol Theater. Awesome. The man is brilliant. Hip hop to Johnny Cash, he covers the entire gamut. I think that Persian Den of Sin song might have made my girlfriend blush! Awesome. got some cds --- looking forward to playing them... many styles this man covers. He did a rap about Bush and Bin Laden a few years back that was crucial... and he was Slippery Goodstuff around Halloween one year at the Cap. Awesome. Alright, that's enough blogging for one early morning phat tuesday. Lovin' it!
