We were at the beach...

Performance Ideas:
-Line dancing with Laura.
-Spray-paintings of famous roots music artists. It looks really cool. And I get embarrassed easily so performing an act or whatev would not be so hot.
-Play a song on an instrument.
-Maybe give a blues theory lesson. I don’t know much. But it could be fun. Or if we could get the piano lab room and have everyone learn how to do a blues progression or something.

Deep Blues:
-The thing about Coyner was maybe meant to show a juxtaposition between Charley Patton and Coyner’s deaths and how some African Americans dealt with oppression as opposed to music as a release/expression of the same type of strong emotions.
- “We know even less about Henry Sloan then we know about Charley Patton.” p.57. Oops! ‘Than’ not ‘then.’

Discussion:
-I like music and I think there are things to appreciate in every genre of it.

Jake and I are going to have a radio show. FYI. It's going to be awesome. And probably between 3 and 6 A.M. So if you are awake and craving some good music...you know where to turn. Like a dial. It was a pun and it was funny. Except most people will be listening online or in the car or on a stereo that has buttons instead of dials. Just the same.

Speaking of (KUMM, if you don't follow). They are playing the Mars Volta every hour pretty much. Because it's new and TMV.

So. Foo Fighters+acoustic+Bob Dylan!= emily paying to see it = bad budgeting
& the Decemberists. & Paul Simon? Guh!

Well. I was procrastinating and this is about music so it's all good, right? Stefan-e needs something to write about. Sorry that it isn't more interesting. I have to do homework now. Or soon. Before noon.

Oh hey. I like a couple female singers. Just not in general. But yeah. Kimya Dawson. For real. http://www.kimyadawson.com/ Click on MP3, then toward the bottom. "Loose Lips" or check her myspace. Let me know if you do this. I'll probably think you are cool. We could be friends! Just think!

two-ish

So I'm doing this Pandora thing and I don't really understand what we are supposed to do for it. Update? Leadbelly is pretty sweet. Like, I don't understand what we are supposed to update about at all, in general. I think ideas are more important than presentation. Have you played "Would you rather...?"? It's pretty sweet. I guess. This is a hodge-podge. I wish I could roll my r's and stuff. Are we supposed to write about the reading? I didn't know the thing about drums being banned. People are stupid. Ralph Stanley, eh. Pretty sure he was on the Soundtrack of O Brother Where Art Thou? The KKK leader? I think yes. Hey. Johnny Cash did that thing with the tin in between the string and the fret board, but I think he used paper. "But I have to say that my all-time favourite book is Johnny Cash's autobiography Cash by Johnny Cash." I like chords. I like the name Hazel. I like fiddles. I don't like girls voices. Hey. Johnny Cash died three years ago today. Jared Walhowe was born 20 years ago today. "Uncle Pen" is neat, I guess. haha. It reminds me of A Might Wind, though. So I'm doing financial aid stuff, but I'm listening at the same time because I don't know if we are supposed to write about each song or what. Robert Johnson, man. I usually use paragraphs, but I didn't feel like it sorry! But not really. This is how I think. Like my picture? Man, I am so awesome. Yikes.
