August 3rd, 2009Oregon Country Fair 2009
July 15th, 20092009 will go down as the 40th Anniversary of Oregon Country Fair and as the least dusty one as well. The Dust Abatement Plan of 2009 was a bit over the top on Sunday, when we were bombarded with thunder, lightning and heavy rain from about 10 am to 2pm. I have a video of the muddy aftermath posted on the Video page here. It was almost comical to watch the Grounds Crew spread bales of hay over the mud, often times skipping over some of the larger muddy spots to focus on higher trafficked areas. As usual the people were fantastic all week and the sauna was wonderful, even if the the weather was a bit cooler than usual. I have posted the photos here, in the Photos Section. All in all it was a fabulous year out there, one of the best ever, lots of magic happening for everyone…
Beloved Festival
July 4th, 2009The Second Annual Beloved Festival looks like it will sound fantastic.
Beloved will be featuring a stellar lineup of tribal and downtempo, ambient artists – a few that make me think a ticket purchase is not far away: Makyo, Beats Antique, Hamsa Lila, Sasha Rose, Karsh Kale, Banco de Gaia, Phuture Primitive, Obo Addy, and more than a few others…
This is the kind of festival that usually doesn’t attract too much mainstream media attention, and who knows what kind of advertising budget they have, so I figure mentioning them here is just the right thing to do. That and I love this kind of gathering of art and music and conscious peoples. It will be a bit like camping next to the Hookah Dome on the Esplanade at Burning Man 2008, except this time it will be in a blessed forest.
¡Muy rico!
June 26th, 2009Nickodemus – Sun People & Turntables on the Hudson
Happy Summer Y’all!!! Here’s a new release that will keep you feeling sunny by Brooklyn music artist/producer/dj extraordinaire Nickodemus. His website is here and his new album is named Sun People. I just love the way he blends the latin beats with the afrobeats with the reggae beats with the balkan beats with the arabic beats with the tropical beats ad infinitum.
Young Fresh Fellows
June 22nd, 2009at the Tractor Tavern on June 19, 2009. The Fellows emerged from a long hiatus to celebrate the release of their new cd, I Think This Is. The lighting was low and I tried my best to utilize other folks flashes instead of my own. Results were definitely mixed, but what you see here are the pleasant surprises.
Moved the photos to their very own gallery here.
Balkan Beat Box @ the Showbox in the Market
June 9th, 2009Bouncy big beats of bass bouyantly bumped my butt and beer belly back to the Balkans!!!
Balkan Beat Box of Brooklyn, NY were the headliners, with The Bad things and Orchestar Zirconium opening the show. The crowd was there to dance, and dance away they did, all night long. Fun, fun, fun!
