After EARly a-go-go

the continuation of the long version of the proGram started at 7amCST (Saturday). This edition went from where the ear meets the soul and then where the feet hit the floor.

Early-a-go-go

Momix

Had the opportunity to catch this show at the Overture as part of the work day. It was as fantastic as I remember Momix being and then some. The two videos on this page should give you a taste of what an entire show is like, but when you are in a seat there…you become a part of the goings-on on that stage. The intrepretations are stimulating and seismic, causing much bass to remix the beat of my heart. I was easily held captive by the show.

Henry Rollins “50”

This year Henry Rollins turned 50 years old and to celebrate he set up some stops around the world to share some thoughts. The show was filled with the type of open minded stories and ideas that were very well received here in Madison. Mr. Rollins has some history here in Madison, which clearly makes his time spent here very special to him. He spoke for about two and a half hours with no break, no water……just pure anger with a purpose. He makes many in the audience contemplate, chuckle and even cringe at times with his tales of other lands. The “Who” he has met doesn’t matter as much as the situations that often present themselves to him as he travels. From times during Black Flag’s shows in the bottom of New York City’s underground scene to his time in Nelson Mandela’s personal mail collection, the show has twists and turns that were surprising, yet almost always seems to concluded with connection. I believe that Mr. Rollins truly gets the idea that we are ALL in this together and why the hell are some of us so blind to that fact. This is one show to catch, if it comes to a place near you. Your open mind will appreciate your efforts.

Sound misdirection

I want to thank Tinsley Ellis for being an early morning guest on the show today. Mr. Ellis will be in Wisconsin tonight. We talked about how he has emerged as one of the premier southern blues rock guitarists, his work with Derek Trucks, and a piece of the path that his music has taking since beginning this journey. Also, later on in the program, had the chance to visit on air with That 1 Guy again. We spoke about the new album, the magic pipe and how the stimulation of eyes/ears and body all are occurring in his live show. Here was what the actual direction was:

Madison Symphony Orchestra

Had a nice doubleheader set up. The MSO and then 7 Walkers. The symphony was quite nice with several pieces I did rather enjoy. Guest violinist Robert McDuffe really can make his instrument stand up on its own. The program for the evening went like this:

Dvořák: Carnival Overture, Op. 92
Barber: Concerto for violin and orchestra, Op. 14
Allegro molto moderato
Andante sostenuto
Presto in moto perpetuo

Intermission (Whiskey Break)

Beethoven: Symphony #3 in E-flat Major, Op 55 (“Eroica”)
Allegro con brio
Marcia funebre
Scherzo: Allegro vivace
Allegro molto

The evening’s conductor was John DeMain and you can find out about the 2011-2012 season here.
