Last night was the Totten twin's 21st birthday celebration (or at least one of its stages). It was nice to see Chris, who's in town until Sunday. They also did a show, which sounded good tho I had a hard time with the venue staff. Maybe I'll start a venue for art rock here, with some cool poetry readings and stuff from time to time as well. And orange walls.
Speaking of music, here is something to do away with all of those fights people get into regarding the quality of a particular musician and cut out the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder/Clay Aiken is just as good as Miles Davis" malarky all at the same time. I haven't figured out all of the values yet, but this system is probably particularly attractive to those of my friends and readers who have a polemical bent. You know who you are.

Wilco, Radiohead from 97-2000, The Bill Evans trio with Scott Lafaro and Paul Motian (pre-mortem releases), Steely Dan up through Pretzel Logic.
