I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil

CAMP BESTIVAL 2013
Camp Bestival has its niche firmly carved out as the premier child-friendly but musically-credible event on the summer calendar, the festival in Dorset has also managed to retain a boutique ambience whilst having a capacity of some 30,000. That said, when it feels like over half of your crowd are in the five to ten age-bracket, maybe you can squeeze a lot more little bodies into the available space.
And it’s a fact that there are children everywhere. Children in pushchairs, children in custom-pimped trollies, children up flagpoles, children weighed down by stacks of 10p deposit pint cups. There are kids crammed against the fence around the jousting arena, kids making clay models and kids sprouting tails. There’s youngsters learning to dance, being entertained by the blue coats and hanging upside-down from the giant Hi De Hi letters on the hill above the Big Top.
Indeed it almost seems to have been an entry-requirement that you brought a toddler or pre-teen with you to get through the gates.
There were still some people without young families in tow this year – but they were in a considerable minority. Fundamentally, Camp Bestival takes the concept of a festival kids’ zone to the limits and still doesn't leave the ‘adult entertainment’ as an afterthought.

Jenny De Nucci e Gianmarco Zagato sul palco della finale europea della "Muser Battle" al "Fabrique" di Milano il primo ottobre 2017.
This month there is still one ME departure per hour most perhaps all hours from 05.20 through to 22.20 mondays to fridays that I can hear but not see from home
Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug, there goes Mr. Grim.
If they gave a prize for bein mean the winner would be him.
Oh, Scroogey loves his money cause he thinks it gives him power,
If he became a flavor you can bet he would be sour.
Yuck, Even the vegetables don't like him.

Day 328 Year 3 The Rogue Players
Cath . . .
She stands with a well intentioned man
But she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do
Cath . . .
It seems that you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
And if our hearts were dying that fast, they would have done the same as you
I'd have done the same as you

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

For Musically Challenged
"Leaves in the River - by Sea Wolf
I met a girl on Halloween
When she was lost, and I was drunk
And it was dark and cold out when we left
And as we walked the rain started
The leaves softened with every step
And all around us people slept alone with their dreams
The wind came down from up the planes
And blew the leaves all through the streets
I wondered how far leaves could really fly
Would they rest in suburb yards
Or make it to the city
Or would they end up in the river just to float away
She pointed to a small brick house
And said it was where she grew up
The lights were out, she asked if we could stop for awhile
Her hair was still just getting wet
The water running down her neck
Collecting in the handprint in cement beneath her feet
Apparently there'd been a death
Someone close and nothing left
Because she hadn't left him in the end
I saw her blush when I asked
If she always talked like that
She said it only happened when she drank
And later on I felt her hand
Slipping into my cold fist
She promised me a kiss as soon as we got home
Her costume had begun to tear
She ran ahead and turned to me
Her laughter echoed through the empty streets
Sorry, just didn't care for them musically. I liked how weird they were, though.
(The girl shaking her head back and forth directly in front of me at the very end of the video really reminds me of Megan Mullally on Children's Hospital.)
My apologies for the distorted sound, but in my defense, this is a camera I got for $20 at a yard sale.

BACKSTORY: OMG! Another totally amazing show! We got to hang out with Nic Endo afterwards! We bummed a cigarette from some other guy, and then she tried to offer us one. That is to say, she is very nice! AE drove us again this year. Greg Z and Akira also went. Clint asked Nic Endo if she still carries floppy discs (of course!). People (including Clint) got on the stage again this year, and Carolyn saw an audience member accidently bump into Alec Empire and push him off the stage. He seemed ok, though. Nobody else seemed to notice that happen except Carolyn.

After years of searching, a new re-issue of the highly influential album by Brian Eno and David Byrne.
-----------------------------------------
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is the first collaborative album by Brian Eno and David Byrne, released in February 1981. The album borrows its title from Amos Tutuola's 1954 novel of the same name, and musically integrates sampled vocals and found sounds, African and Middle Eastern rhythms, and electronic music techniques.[4] Recorded by Eno and Byrne prior to their work on Talking Head's fourth album Remain in Light (1980), sample clearance issues delayed its release until several months after the latter.
While it initially received mixed reviews, My Life is now widely regarded as a high point in the discographies of Eno and Byrne.[5][6] AllMusic critic John Bush describes it as a "pioneering work for countless styles connected to electronics, ambience and Third World music".[3] The extensive use of sampling on the album is widely considered ground-breaking and innovative, though its actual influence on the sample-based music genres that later emerged continues to be debated.[7][8] Pitchfork listed it as the 21st best album of the 1980s, while Slant Magazine listed the album at No. 83 on its list of the "Best Albums of 1980s".
Eno and Byrne first worked together while collaborating on More Songs About Buildings and Food, the 1978 album by Byrne's band Talking Heads. My Life was primarily recorded during a break between touring for Fear of Music (1979) and the recording of Remain in Light (1980), subsequent Talking Heads albums also produced by Eno, but the release was delayed while legal rights were sought for the large number of samples used throughout the album.[10] Eno described the album as a "vision of a psychedelic Africa."[11]
The "found objects" credited to Eno and Byrne were common objects used mostly as percussion. In the notes for the 2006 expanded edition of the album, Byrne writes that they would often use a normal drum kit, but with a cardboard box replacing the bass drum, or a frying pan replacing the snare drum; this would blend the familiar drum sound with unusual percussive noises.[full citation needed] Rather than conventional pop or rock singing, most of the vocals are sampled from other sources, such as commercial recordings of Arabic singers, radio disc jockeys, and an exorcist. Musicians had previously used similar sampling techniques, but critic Dave Simpson declares it had never before been used "to such cataclysmic effect" as on My Life.[12]
In 2001, Q magazine asked Eno whether he and Byrne had invented sampling. He replied:
“No, there was already a history of it. People such as Holger Czukay had made experiments using IBM Dictaphones and short-wave radios and so on. The difference was, I suppose, that I decided to make it the lead vocal on the album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts[13]”
The album was recorded entirely with analog technology, before the advent of digital sequencing and MIDI. The sampled voices were synchronized with the instrumental tracks via trial and error, a practice that was often frustrating, but which also produced several happy accidents.[citation needed]
According to Byrne’s 2006 sleeve notes, neither he nor Eno had read Tutuola’s novel before the album was recorded, but felt the title apt:
“At some point during this African obsession [during the recording] we became aware of Amos Tutuola’s books, and the title of one—My Life in the Bush of Ghosts—seemed to encapsulate what this record was about. We hadn’t yet read this particular book (his The Palm-Wine Drinkard was more easily available), but the title was perfect, so that became the name of the record.
Tamara was a musically gifted girl and holder of the Heart Stone. She trained three baby magical animals - Cleo (a unicorn), Sugar (a dragon), and Spike (a panther). In the second season, she got her own zebracorn named Shadowsong.
It's just a life story, so there's no climax. No more new territory, so pull away the IMAX. In the slot that you sliced through the scene there was no shyness. In the plot that you passed through your teeth there was no pity. No fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city. And no cut to a costly parade that's for him only. No dissolve to a sliver of grey - that's his new lady, where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane of some great movie. (Hey, I'd watch it.)

I am incredibly happy about this week's Musically Challenged picks, which include Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, The Decemberists and of course, Okkervil River. I am in the market for new music, and Sound Opinions provided me with helpful suggestions thanks to their Best of 2009 show last evening. My musical wish list now includes Phoenix, Lily Allen, St. Vincent, and She & Him. Flickr friend recommendations always welcome!
