I went to Moogfest this year and caught three awesome acts: The Flaming Lips, Amon Tobin: ISAM, and STS9. Here’s some video that I got of the last one at Asheville Civic Center.

The Magnetic Field is a great new performance space, cafe and bar in Asheville’s River Arts District. My friend Steve is the artistic director there, so I’ve been to see quite a few shows since they opened only a month or so ago. Among the several things I like about the Field is that they’re producing all kinds of acts. I’ve seen bands, singer/songwriters, sketch comedy, straight plays, and other gigs that defy description (KL, this means you). And it’s all local stuff. Local actors. Local writers. Local musicians. You’re not going to see a revival of Our Town here unless it’s been completely subverted by someone local.
Tonight was a smattering of great musicians, among them the Boom Chix - a fantastic group of Asheville drummers. Check them out.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops with the Luminescent Orchestrii recording “Knockin” in a Brooklyn apartment. My new favorite band.
i think as long as you’re doing exactly what the fuck you want to be doing and not a note or word differently, life will be good.
