Editorial: LVAA art auction
Nov. 12th is the annual LVAA art auction, at $100 a plate. it's a fun time for people who can afford it, i worked it one year as a helper. i have also been on the other side as an artist. i made a peice of a girl opening her mouth. a woman bought it, and then called me to ask if it was sexual, or if it was ok to show in public(the answer: both). I was never asked again to donate, which is kinda sad, i really enjoyed doing it.. maybe next year.
Back when my father was an artist, anyone who donated work got tickets to the event. but along the way, they decided to scrap that idea and have a separate event for the artists, which caused a rift in the art community for awhile, but didn't stop people from donating work worth well more than $200 in dinner tickets.
a while back i was in a public art project (in another town) where 4 artists created public work, and at the opening the mayor gave a speech and said "without these people, this work would not be here.." and then he listed about 15 people i never met during my work on the project. needless to say the artists were the last ones listed. it has become normal to set the artists in the background these days, perhaps only because it's hard to find work as an artist, so we'll take the abuse. without the artists, the Art Auction would not exist. and a 2 hour party with free cheap bear is no excuse for keeping them out of the festivities. we should be so lucky to have so many great artists in this town, instead we are taking them for granted. I like the tradition of the annual art auction, but we shouldn't loose site that the LVAA is supposed to SUPPORT the arts, not take advantage of it.
So, if you can't afford the actual auction, or would rather be able to talk to the artists..
tonight is the Artists party, and it's free and open to anyone.
125 works of art, free beer/food @ 3005 River Rd. 6-8 PM.

Review: The Late Seating on 10/22/10
Last Friday was The Last THE LASTE SEATING AT ACTOR'S of the year, and unfortunately my first.. if you haven't been, it is a really unique idea mixing art, music, interviews, and performance in an intimate setting. This time included a performance a of Linda & Kirk & The Mouse Incident by Brian Walker, music by Joe Manning and Joan Shelley, art and music by Saredren Wells, an interview with the Young Schemels, and Graham Shelby.
The Late Seating is in it's 5th season, and personally i think it's a wonderful idea, and with some tweaking could be a terrific series. Featured Artists have about 20 minutes to perform and interact with a host, and are generally booked through a submission process. there doesn't seem to be much cohesion between the acts in this manner, and could see a curator of sorts helping make this process stronger. The crowd this time seemed to be mostly friends and family with plenty of seats available. i could see the series on a more of set schedule to help attendance.
i did enjoy the intimacy of the event, and getting to know the artists more through the Q&A periods. but most of the questions are pretty uniform and asked by the host. I remember seeing Shellac play maybe a decade ago, where they opened the floor up for Q&A and getting some very interesting questions and incredibly insightful answers.. and could see this series becoming more audience guided. Perhaps let the audience submit artists they would like to see and let them interact with their favorite Artists. But honestly i do like this series idea, and can't wait to see many more in the upcoming year.
Saredren Wells starts off the night with music, original photos and video, and of corse a discussion..

Scott Moore poses in the Actor's Parking garage.. sort of symbolizing his performance that night for The Late Seating, as well as his future performance next weekend with Wax Fang at the Yum! Bucket (behind him in the window) during the MMJ show.
The Young Schemels (Jason Noble, Christian Frederickson, Amber Estes) discuss the new album "The Tempest" that was originally written for an Actor's Production of the Shakespeare play.
Joe Manning and Joan Shelley absolutely crush every heart in the room during this, their first bill together. several songs were written by them both just for the 2 to duet each other in front of us. if any of this becomes a recording for sale, you'd better jump at it. Manning is famous for his small run, hard to find self releases, such as the newest "clever Bird" and classic "Chapel of the Bear".
Mr. King poses perfectly for a metromix photo.. and was on hand with Louisville is for lovers releases (5 records given away, zero purchased). Thanks for the Pic Marty Pearl!

Interview: Scott Moore of 23 String Band
John: Are You there?
Scott: yessir
John: my niece got online to look at animals, and it kicked me off line for a second...
Scott: haha it happens. is this a good time?
John: well, she is mad because she has a report on zebras to work on, but I told her that I am bigger than her and that she will have to wait..
But, I told her this shouldn't take too long, although she is puppy dog eyeing Me right now..
Scott: Ha! Thanks for doing this.
John: Thank you so much for Taking with Me!
Scott: Right On! What do You want to talk about? I was just reading the comments from that last post. hopefully nobody goes off on you this time! Nice to see positive feedback about the band though. we had a great show the other night.
John: i've never had as many readers comment on show announcements as they do for 23 string! they love you guys! i know you have your hand (or bow) in a lot of pies..
let's hear about 23 string band. how long have you been playing with them?
Scott: I've been playing with the 23 String Band for a little over two years now -- since summer 2008.
I do have my hand in a lot of pies, but right now this is the sweetest and biggest of the pies...
John: Good news then! How much of the creative process are you invloved in with them?
Scott: You know, one of the great things about this band is how well everyone gets along, personally but also musically and creatively. It's really a 100% group effort, whether you're talking about writing songs, coming up with arrangements, booking shows, posting flyers, or whatever. I'd say I have a pretty strong role in the band's creative process -- I write songs, contribute to arrangements, and do a lot of the booking and business stuff; but everybody has an equal stake, which is cool.
I am working on a couple of tunes right now that I think have some real potential. Curtis and I have a songwriting team thing going on that's pretty cool.
John: Which is rare in music, it seems most bands have trouble getting members to stay involved or help out in the managment side.. i know i have had that problem..
Scott: Yeah, I can't say enough how great it is to be in a band with my best friends, and both of those things stay steady.
John: It's a combo you don't find everyday.. How long has the band been together?
Scott: The band has been around with its current instrumentation (fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, bass) for something like 3 years.
John: is there any recording or album making on the horizen?
Scott: Yeah. So the band does have an album, and I think it sounds really good -- and I can say that, because it was made before I joined the group! But we're overdue for a second album, and we're working through a bunch of new material right now, figuring out what works and what doesn't, tweaking arrangements, etc. We're hoping to get in the studio early in 2011 -- probably in February -- and have the album ready by the time the festival season starts next year.
John: any idea where you might record?
Scott: Not yet. Still weighing options. I think that'll depend somewhat on what kind of album we decide to make. We've also toyed with the idea of doing a live EP. Our live show is our bread and butter, it's what really gets folks excited about the band. -That would be a live EP in addition to a studio full-length, by the way..
John: Right! It's good to give the fans something while waiting on a new album. especially since it's been a couple years..
Scott: Yeah. Our fans are awesome! It's crazy, we kind of kicked it into another gear in 2010, and the feedback from fans and from folks in the business has been mind-blowing. It's been so much fun, and it's always so rewarding when someone says how they love the band, or you see someone singing along at a show. I've been a professional musician since I was six years old, and that kind of connection is the ultimate reward. And again, I consider myself lucky to be in a band that can make that kind of connection, show after show.
John: Speaking of live shows, when is 23 string's next outing?
Scott: Well, we're kind of winding things down a little for the rest of the year, so we can concentrate on laying the groundwork for an even bigger year in 2011. We do have a few things coming up, though. We're playing this Saturday, Oct 23, at UofL for the Bluegrass Bioneers event. 9-11pm. We have a few other dates as well, which are all on our calendar at www.the23stringband.com
John: speaking of professional, i heard from a few people that the second you started at U of L, you took over 2 nd chair?
Scott: Yeah, what's up with that? I was really gunning for first.
John: but, that's pretty amazing!
Scott: I've done a lot of different things, and been fortunate to have had good teachers and a supportive family growing up. And I've worked my ass off. I don't really do the classical thing as much anymore, although I love the music. I just think it's more fun and rewarding to have a creative role in the music that I'm playing, rather than just reproducing.
I think that goes hand in hand with what I was saying about connecting with the audience.
John: and speaking of working your ass off, you play with other groups on a regular basis, as well as your solo work.. You play with Sardren Wells a lot, will you be there at Actor's on the 22nd?
Scott: Yeah, I've kind of fallen into the role of the go-to fiddle/violin/whatever guy. I play a lot of different styles and I've spent a lot of time working on those styles, so I like being able to apply that versatility and putting myself in situations where I'm constantly facing a different challenge, because that's how you learn and become a stronger and more complete artist. I am playing with Saredren Wells this Friday night, the 22nd. I'll be playing Sunday with members of Bourbon Baroque and the UofL Early Music faculty, for the Monteverdi Vespers (string and choir music from the 1600s!) I've played quite a bit with Arnett Hollow, and had a great time with them at the Glassworks a few weeks ago. I've played with Ben Sollee in the past. I was thrilled to be asked to record a little bit on the new Waxfang record, and will be playing with them next weekend. The list goes on and on....
And I'm working on a solo album of all original material. Singing, playing electric guitar, doing some alternate style fiddle rhythm playing, it's kind of a post-rock type thing, with a lot of 60s rock influences. No timetable on that, though. I should also mention Andrea Davidson -- going to California in November to play shows with her out there. Love her voice and songwriting!
John: it amazing to hear someone so pasionate about playing with many different people and styles. i know so many classicly trained musicians who feel most comfortable staying with in the teaching relm and playing the same music that has been played for hundreds of years..
Scott: That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid :) I do love that music, though.
John: did you work on the wax fang 17 minute "the astronaut pt.1" that was released this week?
Scott: That's it. Speaking of classical music -- that's like the Wax Fang symphony! I love it. Theremin has never rocked so hard. Cheyenne and I did a pretty small little session on one part of the song, but I think I'll be doing a little more for the live show downtown.
John: Wow, You have ton of shows coming up with a lot of different types of bands, i don't know when you find time for yourself, but we are greatly appreciative! I personally can't wait to see a release of your solo work, but understand that it may take awhile.
Scott: I love what I do, and I'm happy that it's something other people enjoy as well! I'm always just trying to get better and have fun. And get that Stones gig. Thanks John, I appreciate that. I've been fairly broke lately, and finding the time and money to go into the studio and finish that album has been a challenge, with so much else going on...
John: -i am broooke as well, and it never fails that just when i have an album's worth of material, i have no money to record it..
Scott: the life of a musician!
John: well, thanks so much for talking with Me! I guess I should let my neice get back to the zebra report..
Scott: Sounds good. Thank you! Good luck with the report.
John: yeah, i think that report is probably gonna end up 'a john king production'. Kids always convenintly fall asleep just when it's time to make a report for skool..
Scott: haha word. well, good luck, and have a great night. see you at actor's tomorrow night, maybe. i'm gonna go fill my belly. can't wait to see this online! And thank YOU for everything you do for the louisville music scene.
John: THANK YOU scott!! i will definatley see you at Actors if not at some of your other shows coming up!
Scott: peace
writers note: My niece Coco's report ended up being on the Congolese Mammal, the Okapi. It looks like a donkey with Zebra stripped appendages, and an elongated bat's face, but is actually related to the Giraffe. You can read more about the okapi here.

girls in panties wearing kitty ears: what's happening for Halloween
It's been the saving grace for Ladies since the dawn of time.. showing off those get-away-sticks is pleasing for everyone, but no one wants to labeled a harlot.. so one magical day every year, women can dress as slutty as they want (as long as they don furry animal ears, or a nurse cap) without worrying about other women saying something snarky.. they will mind you, but it doesn't count, not on HALLOWEEN!!
so dig out your best lacy panties, and for my sake, some wedge heels with the long straps, because Halloween is almost here!

-Bardstown rd. boofest, all day on Oct.23 on Louisville's favorite shopping strip.
-victorian ghost walk @ 4th st on Oct 29
-World's Largest Halloween Party at the Zoo. oct.21-24, 28-29. (it's dark, you don't see any animals, and you walk the entire time, but kids love it)

He will be on hand to sign copies of the book afterwards, Sedaris is known for putting a tip jar on the signing table, so you might need to bring some extra cash.

Justin Bieber: AN UNSTOPPABLE MONSTER (@ yum! center on 11/10)
Justin Bieber released his 1st autobiography last week, he is 16 years old and i hate him. And just like that..... 37 FLOOD EDITORIALS is born!
-i realize some of my reviews are loosely veiled musings and editorials, so i have decided to create a page for them, and perhaps now i will not have to be so coy about my ravings. And so... some thoughts (and actual relevant news) on Justin "oh baby" Bieber.
i don't know if i hate him, but it's hard to like a teenager who has released a total of one studio LP, and has the attention of the entire world (as well as an astounding amount of coverage on NPR). I know Beiber will most likely go the way of Leif Garrett, or Donny Wahlberg, which helps, but i also know there is a mountain of teenage brats waiting to take his place when he falls.
It's clear that many others are tired of the world wide obsession with him as well, and are sick of turning on the radio to hear news reports that Bieber prefers older women and black girls... That really happened, and that is really not news. his father did take him to get a tattoo, and why there is not world wide parental outrage, should be news. (The tattoo is a seagull on his hip, and my 7 year old nephew thinks it's totally gay).
Already there is an army of full grown adults who spend most of their free time harassing the hell out of him and trying very hard to sabotage his carrier. there have been very elaborate internet hoaxes proclaiming his death, his various STD infections, cult ties, and that his mother is an aspiring playboy bunny (please, at 34, she was too old for Playboy the year after she gave birth).
But for now we have to deal with his self absorbed (and totally redundant) titles such as my world (EP), my world 2 (LP) and First Step 2 Forever: My Story (autobiography). He has a face i do not trust, and he is playing at the YUM! bucket on November 10th. tickets $70-$309.

Phantom Family Halo album out today
New album from Phantom Family Halo out today on Sophomore Lounge..
sophomore lounge has been putting out some good stuff lately, such as the new Giving Up album, and it seems PFH has joined the the list..
keeping in PFH manner, the press release is as cryptic as their music can be. here is what they said about the new album 'Music from Italian TV':
'In spite of its minimalistic appearance, is a most intricate light work which, in its scope and originality, defines its own aesthetic. The number of persons involved may vary. Although thirteen has been suggested as the optimum number, two would usually be referred to as a working couple (in any combination of sexes.) Within the community, many believe that a number larger than thirteen is unwieldy, citing unwieldy group dynamics and an unfair burden on the leadership. When this has grown too large to be manageable, it may split, or "hive". Most often utilizing electronic instruments or electronic processing of acoustic instruments, they typically create dense, unmoving harmonies and a stilled or "hovering" sense of time.'
Wax Fang Joins Removador

10/8-10 Garvin Gate Blues Fest
The 14th Garvin Gate Blues Fest starts tonight (6:30pm). i was pretty excited to find out it was back. when i was a kid growing up downtown we would walk down every year to see it. those kinds of things are really fun for kids, at least i had fun. And in high skool i had a teacher that gave extra credit for attending. It was a really great idea, a free neighborhood event (that brought thousands of more people than the neighborhood actually had) but closed down not by lack of attendance, but lack of interest in planning a free neighborhood event. Believe me i know this curse. it takes months and months to plan Zombie Attack, not to mention thousands of dollars that are never recouped because it is a free event. And the neighbors generally wish it didn't happen at all (after last weekend, just ask anyone living on St. James Court).
i didn't even know it was back until a few weeks ago i couldn't find anything happening on 10/10/10 and did a search to find something to write about... and was surprised to see that it has been back for 3 years, resurrected on the 10th anniversary of it's closing in 1997. For something that was loved by this town for over a decade, i was surprised at the general lack of press for this Fest. Honestly i think Free Neighborhood Fests are one of the best things about louisville, we have a lot of them, and they are folding all the time due to lack of attendance, funding, and support from neighborhood associations.
I have no idea how this fest is in it's newest form, i know i have been critical of outdoor blues events in the past, but i hope it survives for a while this time around.
Friday 6:30 pm-11pm sat and sun 3:30 pm -11 pm. lawn chairs welcome, drinks and dogs not. FREE

10/7 THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP Opening @ Actor's
After August in Louisville, Halloween sometimes feels late to the party... So if you need a little help geting into the spirit, THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP is opening tonight at Actor's Theatre (7:30pm). Apparently it's filled will all sorts of creatures; werewolves, vamps, mummies (which is a form of zombie, and Louisville loves it's zombies) and it's all played by just 2 actors. That's pretty cool, if not a little 'Tuna' esque.
THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP showing Oct. 7-30. Tix: $14(kids 11+ ) - $20(adults).

10/15 the 23 string band @ Hideaway
If you haven't heard of the 23 string band, it's not for lack of their trying (i.e. your not getting out enough), because these boys have been setting fire to our town for quite some time with their Bluegrass stylings. And People are paying attention, they have burned the stage at many notable events lately including the Master Musicians Festival, the Forecastle Festival, the International Bluegrass Museum’s River of Music Party (ROMP), the Terrapin Hill Harvest Festival, the Kentucky Bluegrass Music Festival, and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
Members include real life eastern kentuckians Chris Shouse and Curtis Wilson, as well as infamous louisville picker Dave Howard and violinist Scott Moore (from the Saredren Wells quartet, and Another 7 Astronauts). You can catch them Friday at the hideaway at 10 (we originally listed on our events calendar that it was at Longshots, so please make note..) and don't bother counting the strings..
everyone loves Dave Howard
