If you belch, fart, sneeze, and turn the power on all at the same time, it'll open an interdimensional vortex. The guy standing in the middle of the magic circle with the smelly jacket told me so before he got beamed up to the muthaship. Then I realized, I was that guy.

Bay Area's
FISHTANK ENSEMBLE are the rompin' stompin' leaders of cross-pollinated
Gypsy music. French fiddler Fabrice Martinez paid dues gigging Europe
in a mule-drawn caravan, including stints in Romani villages. El Douje
is the master of 21st-century flamenco guitar, while Aaron Seeman is
the king of punk accordion. Audience eyes tend to focus on Ursula
Knudson, not only for her virtuosic saw playing and a voice that sings
in octaves not yet invented, but also for her sensual beauty. The mix
includes a Japanese shamisen player and a rock-bottom upright bassist,
and we have a young band that is one of the most thrilling live acts on
the planet.
LUMINESCENT ORCHESTRII is a Gypsy Tango Klezmer Punk acoustic string
band from New York City, whose music balances frenzy and finesse. They
come together through their love of Balkan and Gypsy music. Sxip Shirey
(resophonic guitar, melodica, bullhorn harmonica) is a circus composer,
Sarah Alden (violin) is an old-time fiddle player, Rima Fand (violin,
viola) is an experimental theater composer and Benjy Fox-Rosen (bass)
is a jazz bassist. The band came together in 2002 and soon traveled to
the heart of Romania to spend a summer learning music and drinking
palinka. This marked the beginning of the Orchestrii's journey into
Gypsy music. They have toured across the United States and Europe, and
just tthis year went to Serbia for the famous Golden Trumpet Festival.
those two amazing bands were playing at the monterey live tonight. probably among the greatest nights in my life. i was probably one the youngest people there, too. everybody was either just weirded out by how enthusastic the coffee and good music made me or were just as happy as i was. there was an old guy who went up with all the hipsters at the last number and just had this friggin seizure getting down. as rosee says, old people are awsome! anyways, look into those bands. they're excellent. i got the whole orchestrii to autograph my CD. they even put their names where their pictures were on the inside n_n
well, all's quiet on this eastern front. my laptop's dead and i'm giving it back to my mom after we get it repraced. the movie's really taking shape. in the interim, my mom, because she's awsome, decided it would be best for me to get a new compy. i have to say, the new windows OS isn't terrible. it's a pretty fast little thing, too. i'm gonna take better care of it than the laptop. let's hope it stays that way when my immigrant cousins come to live with me for a few months in....a few months. lol. yeah, i don't care, they're not putting couterstrike on this thing. oh, wait, i didn't tell you guys that was gonna happen, did i? well, see, my last immediate aunties, uncles, and cousins are finally migrating to this continent and will be taking up residence in my house. let's see....err....five people in all. so that makes nine and the dog living in one house. this is gonna be fun. one of my cousin's gonna be going to MPC with me since he finished high school when he was barely 16 and the other's gonna be in monterey with meheen. more on that story as it gets more...insane. in other news, spencer is still our dance commander for all time and we should all bow down before his awsome poofy hair. akira is still my favourite movie of all time and....ummm....damn, i havent practiced guitar in a couple of days. that's not good....i'd better get back into the rhthym. ha ha....rhythm....bad pun....lol
peace out, kids. and i'm sorry, but meg white is HAWT. and i want that guitar....and those magickal serenading talents. damn you, mr. white!
so i've been going through all the chords in different keys to learn how to switch between chords and junk. it's soooo fun. actually, you know....i've been thinking a little on this story from when i was really little lately. this was back in santa barbra. there was this poor old parrot they just couldn't sell in a petshop named Ernesto. he just didnt like anybody that came in, until my dad walked into the store. Ernesto just flew from his cage onto my dad's shoulder. that's the thing about parrots. they don't like you, it just ain't happenin'. and he really liked me dad. buuut....we didn't have $250 handy. you know how it is, young and broke. my dad always felt guilty about that though. i guess we're the same in that way. some things you really should get or do or really pursue, but you just can't or don't sometimes. i always feel really bad when that happens to me. it almost did with the guitar. i mean, my dad found something old and beautiful in the trash. when something like that happens, i really feel like you just owe it to the beautiful potential something like that could bring to the world. it's not just material, you know? sure, it just exists the same way a chair or a pen or a mixing bowl does, but it's the fact you can just pick it up and with a reasonable amount of skill, do something with it that's so effing amazing...just any object like that, a book, a piano, a paintbrush, a typewriter;, they all have a life. am i a bit of an animist? yeah. yeah, i guess i am.
anyways, the greatest thing ever happened. it's so awsome i'm just going to copy my recounding of it from a still-open AIM window. rave club, baby. greatest thing ever. see, meheen made brownies to sell at food fair, but rave club's completely illegitimate and unsanctioned, so after i spent half the morning making a huge sign for it and getting the info from the dance commanders, we got down to the quad and sold brownies at lunch. my butt was soaked 'cause we didnt have a table and had to sit on the concrete barbecue thing. the dance commanders held high the sign that loudly proclaimed "RAVE BROWNIES! 75CENTS EACH!" stoners, potheads, and other assorted children flocked, thinging they were laced wit hdrugs/ how wrong they were. it was laced only, with beautiful delicious chocolate. they complained about the tiny portions and steep price until they tasted them. and then they bought more. then, the unthinkable happened. they tryed to shut us down. oh, sex on fire yes. we were happily announcing our delicious product to the world with slogans such as "SEX ON ICE!" "RAVE BROWNIES! TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF!" "YOUR LIFE IS A LIE!" "START one of the administrators marched down and took away our sign and held it under her arm as she bitched. she bitched about how you're supposed to start a club, she bitched about how horrible we were, she bitched and bitched and we moved locations and people BOUGHT MORE. we followed behind her, overpowering her megaphone with our sextastic slogan of rave club glory: NUUUUUMBA WUUUUUUN!!!! yes. and we upstaged her with our mere revolutionist voices.i was a hero. i made ninteen dollars, more than any other rave club event except for the human auction where the short girl with the glasses and the really long scarf bought the guy in the chicken suit for fifty bucks. it was the single greatest day of my life. it beat the time i lost my virginity. oh, wait, that never happened. yeah, it's fucking awsome. yeah. and don't you kids DARE steal that fucking catchphrase. it's not yours. it's rave club's. you know who you are. well, anyways, the movie i'm doing for senior project is gonna be the most unbeleiveable sexy thing ever. it will have a jew. it will have my own adopted son. and it will have an unbeleiveable hawt chick. and that filipino guy who can do that thing with his arms. you like.
one of their best songs. the video's a little...well, ridicolous, but hey, it's the facking pillows.peace out, kids.
