Solo Concert by Peter Evans Tomorrow
I’ve heard good things about Peter Evans’ solo trumpet work, so this should be pretty out-there. He’s playing at Amherst College tomorrow night at 8, at the Mead Art Museum. The show’s in the Rotherwas Room, which was actually built in England and shipped over here in the 1700’s, so that should be pretty cool too. I’m gonna try and get to this to deliver a...

Evan Parker/Ned Rothenberg Duo
I was able to check out the Evan Parker/Ned Rothenberg Duo at Bezanson last night, which I’d been looking forward to for a couple of weeks.

A shitty encyclopedia, for people who can’t spell.
Lisa Lampanelli and her fiancé are on the Adam Carolla podcast today… Let me say that again: Lisa Lampanelli is on the show with her male fiancé. I’m completely baffled by this situation.

Blank Generation Playlist for 9/22/09
Good show tonight. First in a while with no requests, but I was fine without a million things to do anyway. Some sweet real-time editing on that first track, by the way.

David Cross is on the latest WTF with Marc Maron. It’s pretty good. Most of the time I feel like interviews are uncomfortable, but they seemed to get along pretty well, so it was pretty interesting, I thought.
