We drove up to Northampton, Massachusetts to see Sarah Harmer (absolutely wonderful Canadian singer/songwriter) at the Iron Horse Music Hall (my very favorite music venue). The listed opener was someone I'd never heard of named Mike Neill, so I was a bit puzzled when two guys took the stage. I was even more puzzled when I noticed that one of them looked familiar. I turned to my SO woj and our friend Jeff and said, "hey guys, doesn't he look like Warren?" Then my brain clicked into gear and I remembered that Adam Busch is involved with a musical project. But I still wasn't 100% sure it was him -- for one thing, he was much thinner than on tv! Then he started singing, and I knew for sure. Adam Busch's musical project is a duo called Common Rotation. He sings and plays harmonica (both quite well, I might add), and his partner, whose name I didn't catch, plays guitar and also sings. Their thing is basically acoustic indie power-pop, complete with schtick (coordinated backing away from and then stepping up to the mics, and even after singing the final line of one song, something about "don't make me fall to the floor" they actually did). It could have been really cheezy, but they made it work. They only got to do 5 songs, but they were very entertaining and really got the crowd going (only to have the listed Mike Neill come on after and bring everyone crashing down with a painfully boring set, but at least Sarah was as wonderful as always). To Adam's credit, he didn't mention anything about his other career -- though after their second song a chorus of young female voices shouted from the back, "We love you Warren!" at which point he said something like "Warren loves his residual checks" and left it at that. :) I understand that James Marsters has a band called Ghost Of The Robot -- maybe I'll run into them randomly opening for someone at some point, too. :) =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2003 00:10:33 -0700 From: "marty" Subject: Re: most random > Just got back from a concert which I too just got back from a concert. Peter Gabriel. Only connection to the Buffyverse was the audience, if you think about Beer Bad. ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V5 #99 ****************************
