Weekend Music Report #2 - The Chain
Have you ever had one of those months where you're tossing back shots with your brother at Polish Falcons one minute, then bailing your apartment out from an inch of standing water the next? Where you're playing Trivial Pursuit with a flat's worth of model-caliber friends on Friday, and unclogging the floor drain of your laundry room on Sunday? Where you're blowing more than $900 on a 32-inch HDTV one week, and later that month you're watching a crumbling VHS tape filled with 6 hours of HBO programming from 1993? (Ah, Tales from the Crypt and Linda Fiorentino, how I've missed you!)Yeah, it's been one of those months. But hey, that's not why you called. Instead, you've most likely pointed and clicked your way here for one of two reasons: you're my mother (most likely), or you're just dying to watch a short clip of The Chain I shot at Mad Planet a few Saturdays ago (less likely, but let's pretend, OK?)
An instrumental group made up of Andy Noble, Didier LePlae, Peter Barrickman, and Brent Goodsell, The Chain is (are?) excellent. See/hear for yourself:
Again, please excuse the shitty video quality. Also: I'm clueless as to the song's title, even though Didier wrote it down for me at Polish Falcons the same night I was getting hammered with my brother. Sorry!
On a completely unrelated note, my current pet peeves are:
1. People who constantly use the word "blog" in their blogs (dammit!)
2. Songs in which the the sound of a tambourine immediately follows the word "shaking," or, worse yet, "tambourine."
Oh, in case you were wondering, your link of the day is right here. (Favorite quote: "90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.")
