{To Bjork or Not to Bjork?}

So Bjork will be bringing her sprawling Biophilia concert/event/science experiment to NYC in February. Of course I want to go. But tix are $89 each including all the fees.

Is watching a Tesla coil used as a live instrument worth it?

How about seeing new instruments that were designed and built for her at MIT?

The Gameleste – a custom instrument for Björk from Andy McCreeth on Vimeo.

Oh and a 24-member choir? And a big orange wig?

A decision needs to be made…

{Washed Out}

My childhood fascination with Howard Jones and Jan Hammer soundtracks has come home to roost decades later in the form of Washed Out fandom.

Clearly, someone out there hears the connection:

While others hear weekend Caribbean jaunts featuring flounder and margaritas:

Either way…lovely.

{This Must Be the Place}

Sean Penn playing a former goth-rock superstar? A soundtrack by David Byrne and Will Oldham? And the movie title is a Talking Heads song? Sign me up.

{Soundtracks for Voicemails}

I love this: Call (316) 247-0421 and leave a voicemail. If you’re lucky, an anonymous composer creates a soundtrack for it.  
One Hello World

{Vic Chestnutt – Everything I Say}

Can’t stop watching this one of the late Vic Chestnutt.

{This Doesn’t Happen Anymore}

Bongwater, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Bob Weir and the Pussywillows all playing a Roky Erickson cover on network television. This has to be the best late-night music performance ever.

{Break Time}

Chow Chow Music just finished another soundtrack project. Time to kick back and listen to Bo and the Duchess.

{Spend 10 Minutes With Eddie Bo}

{…Still working…}

…but in the meantime enjoy two of Chow Chow Music’s favorite things together as one.

{Getting closer}

But in the meantime, enjoy Los Amaya.
