*HE BLINDED ME WITH…
..a cheap-ass admission charge!! I had the pleasure of checking out olde school music/tech geek Thomas Dolby for only $12 at one of San Francisco’s coolest clubs, the Mighty, last thursday.
He said he had some friend’s visiting from Milan (Dolby lives in Half Moon Bay), so he decided to put together an intimate show for them. He only played about six or seven songs, but I’ll tell you this: I’d rather pay $12 for six or seven o’ the hits than pay $20-$25 for the extra padding that goes along with the hits. Short and sweet…That’s the way I like it!!
Another neat thing about it was when he came out for the encore. It seemed like he wasn’t quite expecting it..and he had to build the next coupla songs sorta from scratch. It was neat to see him build my favorite song of his, “Hyperactive”, beat by beat, riff by riff..It kicked ass.
When is Scritti Politti gonna tour again?
*CARTOON ART MUSEUM CLASS WRAP-UP..
