This is the, what, third time I’ve referenced Sesame Street on this blog. I love Sesame Street. If I wasn’t a lame 9-to-5er, I would still watch it. So today’s news roundup is brought to you by the letter B – Boredoms, Benoit Pioulard, Boduf Songs, Bedhead, the /b/ board, baseball, booters, and the Bear Market Bailout. Botta bing!
Anyway, there are so many songs (11 MP3s to be exact), and so much content here, that I have no idea what to categorize this entry as. So consider this your News and Super Swingin’ Mix for the day. I’m not posting again today, this post is epic and I’m tired.
Alright heads, get your djembes out – it’s time for a campfire jam. Boredoms are recreating, to a larger degree, their celebration of 7/7/7 last year with 88Boadrum. On August 8 (that’s 8.8.08, you see) in both New York and Los Angeles, 88 drummers will perform an 88-minute composition written by Boredoms. The press release does not indicate whether Boredoms will actually be present at either of these performances, though. The New York performance/installation piece will be conducted by Gang Gang Dance (excellent), and the LA performance will feature musicians handpicked by Boredoms. So who knows. And Nike is involved, which is certainly strange. But when it comes to Boredoms, nothing is really strange. Like Eye rockin’ his own band’s shirt in their current press photo.
So yeah, do you wanna bang a gong or two for this shindig? Just respond to this Craigslist post. In the interim, enjoy footage from last year’s 77Boadrum event. Totally your mom’s worst nightmare.
