John Zorn in San Fran 2009

14th Mar 09 (Sat) Leave a comment

First off… Happy Pi Day…

Also, tomorrow (Sunday the 15th) marks the end of the run of special John Zorn’s Masada at Yoshi’s in San Francisco.  Here’s a YouTube clip of the Secret Chiefs 3 performance of “Omael” from Xaphan on Tuesday night (pardon the video quality, the taper had to keep it “on the down low” due to the venue’s strict policies against such things):

And “Kemuel“…

Anyone able to sneak an audio recording of any of the Zorn Fest shows (below)?  Hit me up…

Dave Brubeck Quartet & Radiohead
“Take Five” meets “15 Step”

I don’t think it works as well as whoever intended it to work… but I suppose it’s OK as far as mashups go.

And in other music…

  • Live electronic artists Holy Fuck have done a cover of Röyksopp‘s “Happy Up Here.”  Check it out (streaming) over HERE.
  • U2‘s new album, No Line on the Horizon, comes out… Tuesday.  I totally forgot about it.  Geez.
  • Sufjan Stevens and Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) joined the Clogs and Bell Orchestre in joining the Brooklyn Philharmonic at the Brooklyn Academy of Music the other day. Check out Pitchfork for a review and pictures of the event, and the Brooklyn Vegan blog posted some pics and a review as well.
