of hibernation

I haven't updated this in over a month! Cripes!

This being a blog, actually writing on it is something I should probably do a lot more. Yeah? Yeah.

But what to say?

I was supposed to interview Jeffrey Lewis on his last UK tour. For various reasons, largely stemming from poor, poor time management skills, I didn't get to. Which is a shame of face melting proportions. He plays a mean show though, so go check him out through the usual sources. You know it makes sense.

So the purpose of this? Jeff Lewis' support act, who also happens to be Jeff Lewis' uncle, is called Professor Louie. He's a spoken word performer, who plays with a backing consisting of the aforementioned nephew and his brother, Jack. He talks, rhymes, coughs and wheezes, his words detailing/critiquing/lambasting the BIG STUFF, such as politics, societal decline, drugs, crime, love and yes indeed, life itself. Jack and Jeff lay down some super low key, ambient vibes, courtesy of some woodwind and extra subtle percussion . It's quite something.



That right there is the Prof performing 'The Walking Dead.' The song is on a two track, tour exclusive cd that this travelling folk-a-rama were selling, so maybe it's the most appropriate for our purposes here.

You know the drill.

Other news? I'm interviewing Efterklang next week. Gonna learn their secrets, and then plagiarize them hard.

Oh god these guys too. Unbelievable. They make all other music seem completely retarded.

BYEEEEEEEEEES
