zeena + fred = skeleton crew (with the late, great tom cora). saw them at victoriaville, back in the day.
Your wild and crazy adventures make me want to hop on the Bart and leave the glorious East Bay for some SF sinning. I should really go to a concert with you one day, and stand still with a stoic face, bobbing my head only slightly and with no rhythm. That's how you do it, right w-lfs-n?
I put a post card in the mail for you. Even though it seems ridiculous to mail you stuff when you are like a half hour train away. But why not? Mail is delightful. Why don't more people send stuff in the mail? The only things I get are bills, care packages from Amber, and The New Yorker (also from Amber). The last two are awesome. That's right, people. I said The New Yorker. Judge me!
It's OK for girls to read the New Yorker, I think. They tend to be sort of like that anyway.
And you didn't accost him and take a photo on your mobile of yourself with your arm round him and put it on Flickr for us?
For reals?? This is totally awesome. This guy is going to be a celebrity soon, I'm sure of it.
I'm morally certain of it. It was shocking.
Fred Frith is great. I particularly like him on the Evelyn Glennie movie where they are just jamming together. Come to think of it his music is also great on the Andy Goldsworthy movie as well.
Frith & Glennie are playing at Stanford in April, which I'm looking forward to. Their jamming for the purposes of that movie was edited a bit and released as a cd (The Sugar Factory).
Googling around suggests that Andy Goldsworthy's pretty cool too.
Rivers and Tides is an awesome movie. I highly recommend it. Basically it just follows him around as he makes various sculptures in strange and out of the way places. It is one of those oddly hypnotic movies that, for whatever reason, I can watch over and over again.
I would love to see Glennie and Frith, but I am poor and East Coast centered until the summer.
Rivers and Tides being the movie about Andy Goldsworthy.
Andy Goldsworthy makes beautiful things, not that I've kept up with what he's been doing in the last decade or so. I'll look for the film.
