An update on a distant glimmer: so her name is Emma and she knows Maggie. I think this brings the official Emma count to eight.
A woman on the train had short, very bright lime green hair, like Rydia and not like Terra. Another had blonde hair streaked with blue. Another had neon pink in blonde.
They started out with the Creek River String Band, which sang a bluegrass tune about the Donner party and how heaven doesn't compare to you.
Al-Jawary Al-Hessan is a belly dance troupe that uses things like canes and swords as props.
I spent most of the day in the side stage, partially because I can't say no to bands with female vocalists and partially because it started raining and didn't stop until I was back at JFK/UMass.
I missed Ria play on the main stage because San Lorenzo was playing. I thought I missed her play in favor of Revma but since there wasn't a schedule, I didn't find out when Ria played on the main stage until I got home. But I did hear Ria play at the side stage.
I told her she reminds me of Kay Hanley, partially because one of her songs was a cover of Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer.
I thought Letters to Cleo covered that song but when I look it up, I get something that either mistagged or misattributed.See, they're both on the Ten Things I Hate About You soundtrack. Also, she was the singing voice for Josie and the Pussycats in the movie. I know about Letters to Cleo from Daria, though, and I know about Leigh Nash through Delerium.
Grace Morrison raised money to record an album by gathering up cans and bottles and recycling them and wrote a song about it. She tried to make the accordion cool and failed. She wrote a song after realizing a quarter-life crisis is a real thing. She tried internet dating and realized it was scraping the bottom of the barrel. She became obsessed with the year 1536 but wrote a song about her uncle who was in Vietnam and her grandfather who was in World War II, when people were cheering some dancers down in Fanueil Hall, her mind went right to unicycle, she wrote a duet song between Henry VIII and Catherine Howard, who was beheaded. I sketched her towards the end because she was just so awesomely quirky. Also, she has sea turtle earrings but so does Emma (Hungary, not Sweden or Oregon) I believe.
The problem is the paper has a vellum surface so if it gets moist, it makes it harder to draw. But she loved it and signed it with "This is awesome! ♡ Grace" and even gave me a 4 song CD for free.
If you're wondering about the rest of his wives, Catherine of Aragon was divorced and died under house arrest, Anne Boleyn was divorced and executed, Jane Seymour, mother of Edward VI died in childbirth, Anne of Cleaves was divorced and outlived Henry, and Henry died married to Catherine Parr.
San Lorenzo reminded me of As The Sparrow except less bouncy, and there isn't a mandolin or banjo or ukelele, just guitars and bass and drums and saxophone and trumpets and trombone and keyboards. I totally misjudged how much space I needed for the seven of them. So Lindsey, one of the singers/trumpeters/guitarists wearing a shirt about loving life no matter what kind and a rainbow headband, was a lot bigger than Ryan and Evan, while Dave and Matt are in the background, being drummers and keyboarders.
Emily says she knows the guys in As The Sparrow.
She says she's not used to playing where there's a drum mike and the sound guy is sober.
She says you've never seen a band with this many horns.
Emily's been to Ghana. I told her about Lauren's trip to Ghana. I called her my friend despite the fact that we haven't talked in a long time, but I suppose that once a friend, always a friend, unless something goes horribly wrong.
Oh, looky, they have a website. They're releasing an EP in "August" which is band for "December."
Nope, I missed Tiz Kompa play to hear Revma but since I heard him play last year, I don't mind that much. It's Boston. There was something going on yesterday.
Revma's clarinetist tried to play a Greek version of bhangra music while some people were working out to some bhangra music. Now I want that: a bhangra album with Greek lyrics, performed on oud, accordion, bouzouki, acoustic guitar, clarinet, tympano, and toubeleki,
Greek music sounds more Middle Eastern than European. The Thracian songs about things like having second thoughts about marraige and kissing someone's eyebrow and having ink pour everywhere, use accordion, the Cretan song about stars don't scold me (astra mi me malonete) uses oud.
Except for some of the slower pentatonic stuff, which sounds like fiddle-less klezmer. Shit, I just realize there's no fiddle on Esoteric Space Klezmer.
here's some stuff by Sandy, the woman vocalist in Revma.
Melodeego is an environmentally aware soul rock band that sang about stopping the pipeline and standing up for what's right.
Someone had the same idea Michael Marshall Smith had in Only Forward: that journeys seem quicker coming back and he wonders if the train/bus/train journey in took temporally longer than the train/bus/train journey out or if it was psychological and just anticipation.
Also, the Sad Puppies were thoroughly trounced in the Hugo Awards. I don't think this is the last we're going to see of them. I do think that Kate Paulk is going to drop all pretenses of populism and go for a slate of the Mad Genius Club clique.
burning question: so what was the point of getting divorced anyway?
