Seriously. They pump muzak through the intercom where I work. I'd say I like 1 song for every 20 they play... Sultans of Swing comes on every now and then, Oasis, Sting... but mostly it is SHLOCK (I've really been liking that word lately... shlock!). Would I rather it go away completely, though? Hm. Adult-contempo music or none at all?
Anyways... here I am at work, about to start the day, ...I guess this is when I feel like posting the most, for some reason?
Last night Mateus and I watched "Be Cool" (is this a sequel to something?). I think I liked it, but there was something about it I just couldn't put my finger on... a -tad- bit cheesy, way way too many cameos/big stars... yeah, there was some pretty lame acting. We tried to watch Wayne's World 2 first, but like most of Adam's DVDs (heh), it skipped to high heaven.
Thursday! :) Awesome. Thursday means open mic night at Casa del Sol, right downstairs, and $2 Coronas. I wish it were easier for me to take part in one of these things... I guess all it'll take is keeping the Nord (keyboard) at the apartment instead of the studio, and just bringing it down... I don't know. I don't think I'd want a bunch of other guys playing it, to be honest. But it would be cool to add some ORGAN to some of those Santana/latin jams the house band does...
And before that, Roberta is coming over to jam on our usual 3-4 bossa nova/A.C. Jobim tunes. She is a little shy about singing into a microphone, so I'm not sure if performing at the open mic is in the near future, but we'll see. I was saying to Mateus, I like the "instrumental exclusivity" of our little trio... piano, hand drum, voice. Chords, rhythm, melody. Everyone's got their own "thing." It reminds me of that one gig Tyler, Alissa and I played years ago at one of the Concord auditoriums with Ty on cittern, Alissa on cello, and me on conga drum. Technically an offshoot of Clan Du but the vibe was more Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (mostly thanks to Alissa). Yeah. Anyways. Alright, time for work.
