In the midst of exam time, but quick post:
Check out this video of Black Tie Elephant, a band started in Illinois by my friend and musical co-conspirator Farsheed Hamidi-Toosi. He's the drummer -- and yes he's playing a typewriter at the beginning and then switches to keys AND drums simultaneously. You should also stop by his website, Midnight Parking.
Lately, I've been thoroughly enjoying the new Tortoise box set, A Lazarus Taxon. The new Beck album is nice too. And holy smokes guess what just shipped a day or two ago from Amazon.com?!?!?!?! Props to Andy for being the one to tell me about it.
Ok, back to the grind. Expect something, anything when I resurface in late October...
