I agree that it would be excellent if they can continue to work together. I suppose that if Buck can manage being in two "bands," why not three? The sort of shifting ensemble thing that folks like McCaughey engages in isn't all that common in rock - but of course in jazz it happens all the time. You look at a bunch of jazz records from, say, 1957 - and a shifting rotation of a lot of the same key players appears on all kinds of different records, under the names of many different leaders (often depending whose compositions are featured, but not always). No reason (other than biz-related) rock musicians can't do something similar - so long as the music is a bit more intuitive and less arrangement-dependent, I suppose. I would love for Robyn & The Venus 3 to stay around for the next dozen years! Robyn could then give us the best of his new solo acoustic based material every 6 years of so like he did with IODOT, Eye and ME before during and after the Egyptians. Blue Note records in the mid 50's to around 68 or so was famous for the "shifting rotation" of Jazz players. Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley, Joe Henderson, Horace Silver and others all put in time with a main guy like Art Blakey, and then branched out and did their own records with backing from other Blue Note artists. This also happened with the Impulse! label, but on a smaller scale.

They were scouting the apartments near Wrigley Field for a location in an upcoming film and asked if we minded if Robert stop by to check our place out the next day. Being fans, we said yes and embarassingly "randomly" placed our VHS copies "Short Cuts" and "The Player" in view. The next day, we see Altman and his assistance walking down Sheffield Avenue. They went into the building next to ours and never made it to our apartment. Bummed, we broke out a copy of the film "Blink" which actually used our apartment for a few scenes. The thought of Madeline Stowe naked in my living room always brings a smile to my face.

Robyn always seems to be in a great mood at Maxwell's. He was very talkative both nights. (His Sunday intro to "Briggs" was one of the funniest, most rapid-fire, free associative things I've heard from him in many years--unfortunately some idiot started shouting out a request in the middle of it, prompting Robyn to have to "shh" him and likely ruining it for the film.) Saturday's show was a bit more precise, I thought, with Scott's and Morris's harmonies really on target (Morris remembers harmonies from the records that everybody else seems to have forgotten). But Sunday the band was a force of nature. Scott's singing and bass have already been commented on, but Bill's playing is just so fantastic. It's rock and roll, but he brings an almost jazz-like energy at times, and the effect is obvious on the guitarists. Robyn was having more fun on the electric than I've ever seen. Peter looked almost cadaverous on Saturday, though his playing was right on--complementing Robyn's, never overshadowing it--but Sunday night Peter was moving around, posing, obviously enjoying himself. All parties seemed to be more lively on Sunday--Robyn danced with his guitar a lot more and often directed himself to the camera. The opener with the band was "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat," with Robyn just on fire on the guitar, and the show pretty much continued in this vein. Setlist below is just about right, though with the Minus Three, there was at least one more fantastic new song. It was the second or third song they played, and it had a *very* Dylanesque set of verses--one of the lines very directly references a Dylan song--and Robyn sang it in a wonderful Dylanesque style (more so than usual). The new song written with Buck is good too. Unfortunately I can't remember any of the lyrics to either one at all, but they were great--bodes well for the next record. I was expecting more unreleased stuff based on what he said on the WNYC interview earlier in the week. (There, if I remember right, he said the point of the film was that they started filming him with the new songs in embryonic form, then filmed with the band in the studio where they recorded the whole thing in a week, and the film will follow them through to being performed live for the first time. I think he said they'll also be filming a show in Seattle.) It should be a great, whenever it's done. My overall impression of the shows is that Peter, Bill, and Scott are out there supporting an artist whose work they truly admire. I prefer Robyn's acoustic work to most of the rest of it, but I'm really glad he's playing with this band.

Farmers are discovering the advantages of precision agriculture. Communities are fighting the stench, pol lution, and economic ravages of factory farms. Sustainability is the new self-reliance.

Sorry if I repeat anyone about last night's show - I'm on the digest... So - The Ottobar is a great little club - cozy, gritty, with a tiny peanut gallery balcony. I would guess that there were maybe 200 people there, packed (comfortably) wall to wall and right up against the small stage. The energy in the room and the intimate setting I think really fueled the band, because they were all charged up. Robyn looked sort of fiendishly happy, very smiley and loose. He did a lovely slithery dance during The Authority Box. In fact he danced a lot - no sign of back trouble. He was coughing quite a bit though. His voice must be getting tired but he still hit the bottom of his lower register in Not Dark Yet. Morris Windsor was there, looking (as Chris - or was it Bayard? said) like he just came from someone's wedding. You know, stuffed the bow tie in a pocket, undid a couple buttons; a bit rumpled and wilted but still cool. There were three longish bits of ramble, one about guitar tuning, coccyges ("the cell-phone shaped bits that stop our spines from growing right down into the ground") and rodents; one delivered in a scratchy falsetto that I couldn't make out very well, and the recap of "Magnum Force" preceding "A Man's Got To Know His Limitations Briggs." The music was... what everyone else has been saying about this tour, wonderfully exciting. Towards the end of the night a nasty bar fight was short-circuited when the somewhat weedy-looking, deceptively unintimidating bouncers firmly ejected a drunken asshole who WOULD NOT SHUT UP during the show. If only they had done it sooner. All in all, a rousing good time in seedy Baltimore. I got home at 2am. I was halfway to my car this morning before I realized I was still wearing my slippers. But what the hell, I'm a teen services librarian.

Aw, come on. That's like saying Woody "I directed Annie Hall" Allen. Or Martin "I directed Mean Streets" Scorsese. Nashville, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, The Player, Images, Brewster McCloud, Thieves Like Us, The Long Goodbye, California Split, 3 Women, Secret Honor, Tanner, Short Cuts...whew. So many good/great films. Though Altman does have some stinkers, too. Quintet is pretty hard to get through with a straight face, for instance. Even my non- snarky mother saw a bit of it once and called it "a film about people with interesting hats." And Altman's filmed plays usually didn't grab me either. It's not so tragic since he had a full life but, still, Altman ranked among my most admired celebrities and I mourn this as much as I can possibly mourn a death of someone I didn't know. I'm so glad he got that honorary Oscar before he died, since it was such a crime that he never won Best Director. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a great film and I can accept that it won Best Picture, but come on...better *directed* than "Nashville"? Phooey. I heard Fox Confessor Brings the Flood yesterday. Wow. Could be the best album of 2006, though I haven't heard a few other key discs as yet.
