Kaki 2Pac
OK… wow… great mashup of guitar-phenom Kaki King & gunned down rapper Tupac Shakur:

I’m more a Kaki King fan, but I dig 2Pac on this mashup, too.
Unrelated sidenote: Amoeba Music recently posted the July 2007 in-store performance from Earth (an interview and two songs: Omens and Portents I: The Driver -and- Engine of Ruin). http://www.amoeba.com/live-shows/videos/earth.html

Ric Hordinski back with Over the Rhine… one night only
I knew about this a bit ago, but don’t know why I never blogged it… anyway, guitar master & production wizard Ric Hordinski (aka Monk) is playing a one-off show with his former band, Over the Rhine, at their annual get together at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati, OH. This is one of those shows that I’m totally bummed I’ll be missing. Ric is an amazing guitarist, and Over the Rhine’s sound has been missing a ton of what I loved ever since he left in 1996/1997. I also assume that original drummer Brian Kelley will be playing with the band, too. But I haven’t heard either way///
Anyway, one night only… Over the Rhine with Ric Hordinski, December 19th, 2008 at the Taft Theater, Cincinnati, OH. Check out http://overtherhine.com/ for more info.
Ric is also doing his annual holiday show at his monastery studio with Ellery (my new favorite husband-wife duo from Cincinnati). Ellery’s 2006 debut album (Lying Awake) and very recent EP (You Did Everything Right) are among my favs in that genre that includes singing*.
*– Yeah, this year is my first year with more instrumental intake than vocal… alas, I still dig me some folk-pop stylings… especially that of Tasha & Justin Golden (i.e.- Ellery).
The Ric Hordinski & Ellery get together is the week prior (December 12th):
– Doors open at 6:00pm, with caroling at 6:30pm
– Tickets are $15, only 100 seats available!

Kaki King on Daytrotter
As you may remember for this blog, I dig Daytrotter. Well, today, there’s a new gem of free music up there… Kaki King – guitar virtuoso. She plays in the style of the late great Michael Hedges or the still alive and kicking Michael Kelsey, she played the guitar-playing double of August in August Rush. See some YouTubes below…
Guitar virtuosity aside, for this Daytrotter Session she does 3 of her more song-y tunes, and 1 instrumental…
4 songs, in studio… FREE downloads. Bad drawing this time, though… eh… :)

kid rock
This is by far one of the funniest pictures I have seen in a while… I mean, what’s going on? The kid cracks me up, the guy in the back pulling his pants up (or down), the dancing ladies… what the hell is going on?
I saw the pic above a few days ago, and it has since been shown to be a clever photoshop job (original photo of kid), but it still cracks me the hell up.
