The Mob Hungers for Techno
Mar. 23rd, 2011 11:27 amTwo sold out concerts in two days and lots of decent results. I get such a joy out of seeing my concert photos put up and finding complete strangers liking the sets I put up.
Saturday was Terminal 5, which had me pitted against a huge rave mob that was fairly cooperative. It was genuinely fun for me.
Sunday was a house concert for my favorite fingerstyle busker, Glenn Roth. Sad to say, his crowds are still small, but I keep hoping for him since I think he's very underrated with respect to what he does. One of my musician friends says that he's kind of like a "musician's musician," where you don't really appreciate his talent unless you play to begin with.
I also lost my phone and MP3 player that day, finally forcing me to activate the Droid I had stowed away for this purpose. I had my contacts backed up, but not my notes. And no, I haven't heard back anything about what happened to my phone or my music player. I swear, 80% of the people who ride NJ Transit are scrubs.
Anyway, Wednesday night was Bowery Ballroom to see Noah and the Whale and the warm-up act Apex Manor. Great music, and I had a lot of good shots since Bowery's a well-lit setup.
Today: Seven Second Delay live, post-WFMU marathon where I see the creator of Monk get his nipple pierced and an interview with Jon Lovitz! No, I'm not getting paid for this trip, but I don't care because this promises to be good!
