Thievery Corporation @ SF Concourse 7/20/6 - Drunk Monk - 07-24-2006
I hadn't heard Tc until the week before. Due to a snafu, we didn't know we had this show to book until a week before, so it was a scramble to staff. My co-worker, who I enlisted as a volunteer, was a fan and lent me a CD. It was ok - some reggae dub and electronica - reminded me of LA shopping mall muzak. I was expecting two guys on stage before mixing boards and a light show.
I never figured out how many people play in TC. They kept alternating players - singers, dancers, sitar, tabla, reggae toasters, Brazilian singers, guitars, keys, trumpet, sax, usually 10 people on stage at any time. I've nicknamed it metro reggae rave, but it's world fusion, electronica, reggae dancehall, a lot of sounds. And it's fun. Jammy. The first new (new to me) band that's moved me in a long spell. Very enjoyable. The crowd was young, metro, clean and sexy, like out of FHM or something. In fact, it was quite teh perfumed audience and smelled a lot like a men's or women's mag. A few dreadlocks in the corners. I'll check in with them whenever I can from now on. For a rasta like me, it was a wonderful permutation of the sound.
Wasn't it missing a certain smell - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 07-24-2006
A certain ubiquitous smell? Just asking. DM, the FHM slut.
odors - Drunk Monk - 07-25-2006
Hmmm, whatever could Greg be babbling about? Beer? No, smelled that. Pot. Nope, plenty of that too. Vomit? Yep, they called us out for a patient and showed us a fresh puddle of vomit. The patron missed the trash can by two feet, but moved on, and that's not a medical problem, it's janitorial. Axe cologne? Yep. There was plenty of that as well as others, ad nauseum.

Boy there's a stench it's hard to get away from -- the AXE, I mean. When Greg's sister and nephew came to visit a while back, Zachary was spraying that stuff on and I thought my nostrils would never recover. Talk about false advertising!
Axe... - Drunk Monk - 07-27-2006
...smells better than vomit. Much better...

Just repeat it three times - The Queen - 07-28-2006
They were dissecting the "Head On - Apply Directly to the Forehead" commercial on NBC News last night, explaining how anything repeated will get attention, no matter how incredibly cheap and annoying the ad is.

I saw the Head On coverage last night. Absolutely appalling if they're right and it's a brilliantly effective campaign.
I really don't want capitalism to become the defacto standard of the world.
There needs to be other socio-economic options and experiments. You know, where some of us can go if things get too bad.
Please don't let this be our only future.
