some musical notes...

went to the prine concert last night and had a lot of fun. i'm a bit of a priney-come-lately, which is too bad because i should have been paying attention a long time ago. dylan and young are the only other two who come to my mind (are there others?)in terms of being able to fashion political, subtle, ironic, humours (prine stands alone here) and sweet lyrics. a living legend.

if you haven't seen it check out funtwo. story is he made this video as a bit of an audition because he wanted some help with his playing. a friend released it on youtube (funtwo was not amused) and it has been making the rounds ever since. a little bit corny, but worth the effort of watching.

dan reeder, another singer-songwriter, opened for prine last night. nothing deep, but damn funny, and a very engaging performer. check out his "work song" from his myspace site. warning - if you are in a sensitive work space you might want to shut the door, or wait till the sensitive have left the building (not much in terms of lyrics, just 8 words repeated, but still expresses a sentiment we all feel from time to time).

see you all a cx lab2 tomorrow (come on - you don't have to be hard core, you just have to get out of bed).

ciao.
