Short Attention Span Review
 
 Very Cool show... Nifty videos and tunes all around.

Yeah sounds about right. Todd Reynolds thoroughly impressed me as well.

Was it mind-blowing?

 But I get to leave for Coachella!

Not mind blowing... Much like Laurie Anderson it was an evening of experimental composition and video with a sense of fun and not to much pretension.  It was also the first time I've heard a Nick Drake cover, "The Cello Song", which was very fitting for the Books to do....
 
 The most intriguing Todd Reynolds piece was his  soundtrack to a Bill Morrison short commissioned by MOMA called Outerborough.  Where Morrison took film footage of a 1899 subway train from   and  through the use of looping created  interesting visuals.

Significant other... I assume you're getting laid on a regular basis. I think that's a fair trade-off.  
 
 Speaking of Laurie Anderson, isn't she playing in college park some time soon or did that already happen?

That was 4/5, early enough that I could catch most of it (I work on campus) and then hit the Stooges. It was a good day

Does anyone know if that "penguin" song they did has been released?

[azaghal1981]

It's not on any of the three albums or the EP. They played a few other new tracks too.
