Rebecca Moore
I heard her perform during the Howl! festival in a program organized by Chris Rael of Church of Betty, also known as Mr. Penny Arcade. She is a warm performer, with rather orchestral writing for such a small ensemble. I liked the way she told the crowd which musician was most featured in each song they performed.
Here is an MP3 of her cover of Earth, Wind and Fire’s Fantasy, from the Home Wreckordings 1997-1999 album. Also check out a rambling, amusing write-up on epinions.com.

His is not a house of mirth
The title of this post, along with “We can’t hear your car alarms / from our renovated barn” are some of my favorite lyrics from People Are Wrong, a rock musical at P.S.122. There are only two more performances — Saturday at 9pm and Sunday at 5pm.
Don’t just stand there! Go buy tickets!
The talented cast includes our friend David Driver (web site seems to be down), John Flansburgh from They Might Be Giants, and is directed by our friend David Herskovitz. The cast also includes Maggie Moore from Hedwig, and the great music is written by Julia Greenberg and Robin Goldwasser.

Free Miss Kittin mix
Go here to get a 78 minute MP3 (about 108MB) of a mix by Miss Kittin. I just burned a CD with it. It’s more like the abstract stuff I heard when I first encountered her on The Frying Pan boat than the recent CD with The Hacker.

On a lighter note…
I’m going to the 7:30 show of Kiki and Herb at Knitting Factory tonight.
I note that Knitting Factory Hollywood has Ellen Degeneres while the NYC one is putting on people like Kiki and Herb. That rather sums it all up, doesn’t it?
Courtesy of Chris, here is an MP3 of Kiki and Herb’s “People Die”. It’s high quality, so it’s rather big (10.9 MB).

Yes, I know I should really be going to a performance of Lysistrata. There is one at Barracuda at 4pm…

Lou Harrison
Lou Harrison, an important American composer, who was a sweet gay artist and activist, has died at 85. I had the honor of meeting him and his lover a few years ago.
There are few people one meets that give one the feeling of gentle saintliness. I felt that way when I met him, and I felt that way when I met Paul Cadmus.
