2005/03/15: montana is behind in the blogging

Of course! 'm backlogged (backblogged?), so a few quick things:

• Last monday (03/07), Prantershifter with special guest DJ Empirical opened up for the Trevor Dunn / Shelley Burgon duo. How was their (Prantershifter/Empirical) set? It was a good time; loads of noise, and I thing people were amazed at the sounds coming out of the turntable.
• I actually missed the Dunn/Burgon set, which I had wanted to see. I missed it because I was downstairs at the show in the ballroom: Large Number, the nom de sonique of Ann Shenton, who was in Add N to X, a great electronic band. Her set was great: analog synth backing tracks with homemade noisemakers / theremin / sequencer nonsense. Good times. Plus, she was charming as all hell, and Marc (her company on the tour, the guy who owns the record label she's on, and I suspect her bf as well) was super-cool, too. We exchanged info; I think he'll be a good contact.

more to come later; i have to excape work. ;)

ok, i'm back. too much to go into...

• i just interviewed Roesing Ape for (hopefully) citybeat, who published my interview with spencer back in december.
• pink floyd: the wall is a great film that i've owned for over a year on dvd but not watched since the early nineties, at a time when i didnt really care about film or pink floyd. this weekend i've watched everything on the dvd, including videos and documentaries. you should watch it again sometime; with me, if you need motivation. :)
  
• i bought & watched the director's cut of donnie darko; i liked it. it's more of a "remix" (the director's word, not mine), but it is different enough that people are debating online whether it's better or not. i dont know about better, but i did decide to keep both versions.
  
• three cheers for Baby Kitty; she got accepted to pratt! of course, that solidifies her moving to nyc in september, which will be sad christmas for me & others here in cincinnati, but good news for her. she really is a great artist -- wait till she gets pratt under her belt!
• i'm going to see Berlin tomorrow. it should be fun, even if they end up not being too great. :)
  

ok, that has to be all for today -- time to straighten up the apartment.
