A little catch-up on recent music activities:
Dark Carpet (above) played again in Brooklyn Friday night, and by the evidence of some audience video, they rocked...really, really hard! And got into some noise/thrash territory with the final number, when they stretched out "Color Set" to take out the set. Wish I could have been there!
Over Thanksgiving break I got together and recorded more with Rodger. He's already written about it here; the only things I'll add are: a. On guitar, Rodger sounds as great, if not better, than he ever did back in our UYA days. And his new piano sounds incredible. As usual, he kicked my butt and drew things out of me I didn't even know were there. Whatever we come up with will be guaranteed to have some way-out sounds, totally different from Cosmologies. Oh, and b. I take a lousy photo. All the photogenic genes went to my sibs.
I also have some thoughts about the last couple of years' new directions with New Ting Ting Loft, but I am going to save them for a separate post.
