this is the lead singer of Naive New Beaters, who I blogged about below.

One thing that annoys me about this blog template is that it is not quite big enough to show photos at normal size without cutting off the right edge. I'll try to figure out how to fix that soon...

Naive New Beaters

So, I have a contact at flickr who takes pictures of electronica concerts in (I think) Paris, named Gertrudramones. I like her photos, she's good at capturing the excitement of a good concert, gets shots with lots of wild colors... And most of the bands she photographs are new to me. I'll see something in her photostream that looks interesting & go check it out & I am almost never dissapointed. Latest example is Naive New Beaters, who have a couple of really interesting videos up at youtube, including the example I've posted here.

Sent to me by Karen. I think the puppet itself is kinda brilliant!

I Keep Waiting

My friend Peter has a bunch of whacky noise music he recorded over a mess o' years, mostly in the '80s and into the '90s. Really unique stuff. It should be here, but as you can see on the flip, he's got everything pulled down to "remix".

I should maybe take a little blame for that. I convinced him that garageband is easy to use, so I think he's really going back and remixing everything in GB. I hope it comes back someday. I miss "Lenny, Lenny", and Sludge Mountain, and bunches of other stuff he's done.

Truly, Pete is one of my favorite people, much less one of my favorite musicians.
