Under Investigation

May 12, 2009 on 12:05 pm | In Happenings | No Comments

Understand that besides the fact of our being averse to a general sounding-out of inherent possibilities which may or may not have pre-existed the relatively momentous matter at hand, there is the abhorrent task of implementing an inclusive format with which to approach the subject of full or partial integration, in which to apply the previously discussed tenets of total dissemination, and from which to siphon any remaining redundancies which could affect the over-arching schema in an adverse or otherwise unpredictable fashion, potentially resulting in unforeseen catastrophic events and/or absolute dissolution and subsequent putrefaction — be it in the immediate aftermath or in the long-term cycle of gyratic time dilation.
But rest assured our top scientists are investigating the matter fully.

Tuesday, May 12, 9 pm, 521 Hillsborough St (Co-op House), Carrboro, donation: Crowmeat Bob w/Glass Witch, Dark Inside the Sun, Maddie, and Irene Moon.
I’ll be doing a few numbers and some improvising for you. Glad to be opening for Dark Inside the Sun. I’ve seen him a bunch of times and he’s always great.
From Ryan Martin’s email:
GLASS WITCH = me [Ryan] + Andrea Stroud’s pop band, first show in forever, the lighter side of goth/ see: myspace.com/glasswitch
DARK INSIDE THE SUN = on tour, one man band who wrecks drum kit, toys, his voice - it’s an intense performance that veers from primitive improvisation to shambolic pop
MADDIE = out of high school, first show ever! tapes of pianos and other things played back at varying speeds, singing, star moves
plus! entymologist IRENE MOON, recently relocated to Raleigh and just back on tour from Europe, will be there showing a 20 min long animated film, Court of Common Pleas, soundtrack by HOTOGISU. check : begoniasociety.org

Friday, May 15, 8 pm, Badgerhaus, Raleigh, donation: Jason Bivins and Crowmeat Bob w/Subscape Annex.
Another in my series of sax/guitar duets at Steve Burnett’s house. Email me for directions.

Sunday, May 17, 5-7 pm, Bain Waterworks, Raleigh: Thurston/Isenberg/Lamb/Crowmeat.
I don’t think other groups have been confirmed, so I don’t want to get ahead of myself and make proclamations. But there will be others.
The reverb in that room is brilliant. We’ll be trying to keep it in a 60’s Blue Note vibe, at least to start with. (But hell, “Conquistador!” was on Blue Note, so fair warning)

And be sure to tune in to one of my DJ forays over at WXDU(.org), 88.7. Now I’m on most every other Saturday (jazz) and Sunday (classical) from noon to 2:00, in alternation with other DJ’s of equivalent arsenals of goodness.
And I’ll be doing a couple of Mystery Shows over the summer. The first being June 14 (10:00-midnight) on the theme of being out of, losing, or otherwise misplacing one’s mind. I think I’ve got it covered, but it’s two hours now, so if you have some idears of songs I may not be hip to you’d like to request in advance, that might be helpful.
