Last night, Bock and I saw the ingenious sound/video group, The Books, at Carnegie Hall. The duo, plus guest Gene Back, play gorgeous intricate string arrangements over found sound samples, accompanied by pitch perfect spliced video segments. The result was an endearing display of human truisms. A little boy on a talkboy tape recorder threatening his little sister, found video clips of people golfing mixed with sound and video from '80s inspirational self help videos... their art is inspired by people in all of their ridiculous, hilarious, and beautiful splendor.
Ps. Check out this crazy spoonbox contraption that Nick Zammutto (guitars & vocals) made. It's for sale and I want one!

The Green Room Is
"A green room is a room in a theater, studio, or other public venue for the accommodation of performers when not required on the stage. Its function is as a break/touch-up lounge so that performers do not have to go back to wardrobe/dressing rooms and are still easily accessible for their call. The term is often attributed to the area historically being painted green [1][2] however in modern use the area may or may not include any green in its color scheme. The color green; the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nanometres."- Wikipedia
