The Laurie Anderson show was great, I didn’t know what kind of set it would be, did not really expect to hear “O Superman.” Now Suzi Analogue is killing it at the Blaktronica showcase, trying to keep myself going long enough for at least a little Carl Craig.

both Son Rompe Pera and Trio Mediaeval were incredible.
I saw a warmup show Son Rompe Pera did at a local bar on Wednesday, they were so much fun.

I miss when they would book folks like Keiji Haino and Peter Evans. Sure there are plenty of squitchy scratchity sounds but everything is so muted. It really feels more like they’re trying to keep things respectable this year so they can dig deep into rich old jazz heads’ pocketbooks.

Yah, I would like more of an out/noise presence too. I don’t know all of the factors that go into each year’s roster, a lot of it is circumstantial – who has a new album or project or thing that they are touring or excited about. But as you say, I am sure that old jazz heads are a more reliable funding model than noize dudes.

There was a bunch of experimental stuff at the Pilot Light. The venue isn’t officially part of the festival, but they have bands all day during the festival. I went there a couple times this weekend and was pleasantly surprised.

It was funny to see people who waited in line an hour to get into that show turn around and bolt after 5 minutes. Although it had a pretty good crowd that stayed.

The Body/Head show at Big Ears a few years ago was just streams of people leaving
