Froggy Mountain

yonder stands blue mountain
oh yonder stands blue mou-oun-tain
yonder stands my home
yonder stands my home

in the rules of verse there are no rules

saw the group Imaginary Folk at the CB's lounge downstairs, tonight. They play improvised music like the string quartet from hell (with piccolo trumpet and banjo no less), but there's a twist. Improvisations are also to be had on boomboxes that they use to playback prerecorded music -- CDs and home-made tapes featuring anything from Morton Feldman and Scelsi to "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" and Leadbelly. The samples have the effect like John Oswald on xanax. Something to see, I'll say.

On Friday N and I went to this Japanese technology and gadget store in the east village. Compact Impact is just rad, period.
