Thursday, 18 January 2007

I have a bunch of pieces in the works. Final installment of the Coming of the Great Darkness series. Modular synth stuff. More on Flapping limited release with the "lost" songs of the original Flight of the Atom Bee cd, including a new music video ... all kinds of stuff. The Ultimate Disposable Pop Music For Sale On eBay. A piece on Jorma Kaukonen's solo acoustic guitar piece on the Jefferson Airplane's album Surrealistic Pillow embodied, in two-and-a-half minutes, with no lyrics, all the optimism and hope of the West Coast for the future of America, before drugs, war, riots, and, as always, the assassins, took their toll on our dreams.

But nothing ready to post tonight. So, to keep the home fires burning ... here is a video I uncovered ... it seems like people, regular people, everyday people, not tongue-in-cheek people, not ironic people, in India pay to sit in a tiny theater and watch the Boney M  Lip-Sync Revue.

This is not a drag revue, nor is it a joke.

This is serious family entertainment. You can tell because the choir members lipsyncing the humming parts with their lips closed are really concentrating hard.

This is the kind of video in which one can immerse oneself, gleefully absorbing the subtle touches that emerge on repeated viewings. The girl doing the Swim. The guy lip-syncing "She was crazy like a fool. {But what about Daddy Cool?}" All of it.

It's happy time!  Cool
