ateolfI was able to record the second sample I plan to use in Louisville if all goes well (even if it doesn't, I think I'll still use the samples just maybe load them on tape instead of my modular). I just recorded myself playing a little bit of a certain song on guitar (probably not exactly right and still played badly but that's okay for my sampling purposes).
In the evening Mary Beth and I went and had our anniversary dinner at Erling Jensen so it was very nice and fancy and we had some delicious stuff and stuffed ourselves with it.
Then later we went to another day of Gonerfest pretty much just to see Silkworm. We got there as Radioactivity was playing (if the name makes you want to think there's some kind of Kraftwerk influence, it is not at all so! pretty straightforward punk rock, not terrible but not memorable in any way). After they played we managed to get up to the front and Mary Beth was right on the stage (I was behind but towards the end for the last few songs some people left and I made it to the stage). Silkworm was really good live. And Joel is with them again so it's really cool to see him sing. Promotional stuff before the tour was saying that Matt Kadane would be joining them on keyboards but he wasn't there (didn't see him in any of the photos Jacques took as he followed them around for a week so I knew not to actually expect that). They played my favorite song of theirs, "Don't Look Back". All in all a very good set and they played for a long time, almost an hour and a half. They went on at 11 so I assumed they'd play til 12 but they went well past that. I picked up some merch as we were leaving (tried to before but no one was at the table). I picked up The Crust Brothers: Marquee Mark on cd and a SKWM t-shirt and all as they're somewhat aggressively shuffling everyone out of the area. I woke up earlier than I should have, but whatever!
