My Visions of Sonics @ Fall of the House of Entropy Show @ Piano Factory - Boston


Slushing through the icy chills without a camera to filter this stellar show, I simply conjured up a cranium full of sights and words to enhance the sonics....

* Forbes Graham *
leaping iron man ozzy laptop kik beat melts a child fractured drum mach crayon as a galloping lone ranger riding a metallic beast slides into a tap dancin' naw'leans jazzman in cowboy boots tooting.

* Boston Lamb & Veal *
with Jules Vasylenko & Josh Jefferson & Andrew Eisenberg
chanting monks surround a rusted brake drum hamster wheel grinding the floor and pounding the skins, as jiffy popcorn pops, sizzles, and burns downwind from a gaggle of drooling swans gone mad.

* Gang Clan Mafia *
wtih Vela Phelan & Dirk Adams
breaking news of bearded balloons connected in stereo to a pair of wired vortex hammerhead shark sushi until the orange cap unleashes the latches on the briefcase revealing a flying shiny object.

AND
...cue finger snaps - thundering sitting ovations from an audience of the chosen few... featuring a poet, a one to one taper, a devoted newlywed & her friend, a true gang clan fan, the other performers and me listening with all ears. even the ghosts folded into the metal chairs howled at brilliance of the vibrant sand paintings of sound that vanished into thin air.

...in other words, IF YOU WEREN'T THERE, YOU MISSED IT, MAN.
Lotza Luv ---> Bill T Miller (legendary rock critic writer kook)

MISSION OF BURMA DAY

THE AUDIENCE at the MOB @ MIT Show was packed with a who's who of rock stars. Since there was a pile of pro photogs in the pit snapping the band, I spent more of my energy taking pix people (& bubbles & dogs & trees) in the crowd.

It was really GGGGREAT to HEAR some of the NEW SONGS off of Mission Of Burma's The Sound The Speed The Light (on Matador Records) and of course they blasted the classic MOB tunes at the end.

Remember ? LIFE MAGAZINE? 1935-70s Complete Issues Online. The Issue that I REMEMBER is The Beatles on the 1968 Cover.

THIS issue of LIFE with The Beatles on the cover in 1968 (when I was TWELVE YEARS OLD) was the one that I personally REMEMBER the most. I saved this issue for years, but lost it somewhere in my nomad travels. The article was by Hunter Davies. I remember getting his Beatles book around this time as well.

SEE THAT BEATLES LIFE MAG
(issue pictured above - skip to page 86)

When ever I say or write/type the word REMEMBER, I hear John's melody ---> Remember, remember, today - And don't feel sorry -'Bout the way it's gone - And don't you worry - 'Bout what you've done - o, no, remember, remember - The fifth of November. ---- from John Lennon's song REMEMBER

Mission Of Burma Day - City of Boston 10.4.09 ---> The Sound The Speed The Light


Free MOB Show @ MIT

FREE PAPER ARP 2600 & MINI-MOOG SYNTHS !


FREE PAPERCRAFT ARP and MOOG SYNTHS. I took an electronic music synth class back in '75 and learned on the ARP 2600 and Emu synths back at College for the Recording Arts in San Francisco. Never could swing a mega ARP or MOOG, but scored an ARP ODYSSEY (white face) back in '76 and Moog Taurus II in 95 and recently the ARP/MOOG software synths.

ARP 2600: http://synthgear.com/2009/diy/free-diy-arp-2600/
MINI-MOOG: http://synthgear.com/2009/diy/free-diy-minimoog

OBE ARP in 1989


Software ARP 2600




JAMMIN' on my ARP ODYSSEY...

Bought this original ARP 1974 model used when I moved to LA (found in an advert in The Recyler) in 1976. Although it could use a tune-up it is still in action.


MY TAURUS II...

I actually did get this MOOG for FREE. Found in the trash can at my then rehearsal/studio space and all it really needed was power supply adapter and a din cable to connect pedals.

Plus in case you missed it, back in April '09, the SynthGear site also featured those PLUSH FELT SYNTH PILLOWS. You can BUY THEM at ETSY.
