Along with all the other fun life-changing events occurring this month, more and more music seems to be on the horizon: bands, recordings, regular DJing sets, theremins, etc.

“You’re So Vain” by The Odd Couple
Completely unrelated to the above picture except that they are both cool things I came across today while struggling from deep within the grips of the procrastination monster… yes, yes, yes. In their Odd Couple characters, Tony Randall and Jack Klugman perform (and truly perform) the Carly Simon song “You’re So Vain.” Through a powerfully narrative performance, the listener is led to truly believe that Randall is wearing an apricot sweater. Listen for his earnest confusion at the back-up singers’ entrance when he asks “what are they doing here?” Brilliant.
Here’s to the beginning of a productive fortnight.

Language Foundry (Cleveland) & KBD
Toledo Bellows is hosting a house concert this Friday (December 12, 2008) at the Robinwood Concert House in the Old West End of Toledo with a crew of experimental poets, musicians, and sound artists from the Language Foundry (Cleveland) and local hosts KBD.
The evening will feature:
- J Guy Laughlin – controlled snare drum feedback and bowed metal
- Fluxmonkey – electronic and electroacoustic improv using mostly homebuilt instruments
- Jose Luna - strings and electronics
- Tom Orange - language, sound, and poetics
- J.S. Makkos - sound, language, and poetics
- KBD - improvisational sonic manipulation
The evening begins at around 9:30. The event is free and BYOB, but please bring a few bucks to donate to the out of town musicians and poets. The Language Foundry makes their own books, so they’ll probably have some stuff to buy as well.
The Robinwood Concert House is located at: 2564 Robinwood Ave, Toledo OH 43620 (Phone: 419-654-5544)
