The Books Review

Short Attention Span Review

Very Cool show… Nifty videos and tunes all around.
Yeah sounds about right. Todd Reynolds thoroughly impressed me as well.
Was it mind-blowing? :)

azaghal: You always go to the cool shows that I always miss. It's really hard to go out every other night(!) when you have a significant other that's not into shows :/
But I get to leave for Coachella!
Not mind blowing… Much like Laurie Anderson it was an evening of experimental composition and video with a sense of fun and not to much pretension. It was also the first time I've heard a Nick Drake cover, "The Cello Song", which was very fitting for the Books to do….

The most intriguing Todd Reynolds piece was his soundtrack to a Bill Morrison short commissioned by MOMA called Outerborough. Where Morrison took film footage of a 1899 subway train from and through the use of looping created interesting visuals.

Significant other… I assume you're getting laid on a regular basis. I think that's a fair trade-off. :)

Speaking of Laurie Anderson, isn't she playing in college park some time soon or did that already happen?

That was 4/5, early enough that I could catch most of it (I work on campus) and then hit the Stooges. It was a good day :)

and i thought to myself, "yeah, that makes sense"
Does anyone know if that "penguin" song they did has been released?
It's not on any of the three albums or the EP. They played a few other new tracks too.
