One of my coworkers gets this little tiny twitch right by his mouth when he's getting frustrated.  I seem to be pretty good at making him twitch, usually by not understanding something dumb and trivial (like how certain open source applications are so self-important that they have Linux kernel-like version numbering schemes which have no bearing on actual reality, e.g. version 2.4.1 isn't actually that much newer than version 2.2.3).

Now if I can get his whole face to twitch, that'd be something.

Octothorpe - Zombie Son (live in Moscow, ID)

At that point the lead vocalist's voice was basically gone.  But that's me on the drums.  Also there will be audio from the Spokane show shortly in this thread (my solo stuff being Sockpuppet).  Also I have a more detailed writeup over hither.

Portland, Seattle, Spokane, and Moscow shows this weekend.  The San Francisco gig went great and I think I'm onto something with this loop pedal performance thing.

• San Francisco show is still a go
• I forget if I gave specifics for the Portland show but that one's unchanged
• The Seattle show has had a change of venue. Now it's at Finn MacCool's in the U district, April 5, 8 PM
• Also, a show in Spokane, WA at Brooklyn Nights on April 6 (not everything's hammered down but here is the planning thread)
• Also a show in Moscow, ID though that one's a bit weird, circumstance-wise

The Seattle show has been confirmed.

I will be playing gigs (i.e. rocking the loop pedal as part of an evening of many independent music bands) at the following spatio-temporal locations:

Wednesday, April 2 - San Francisco (confirmed)
Friday, April 4 - Portland (tentative)
Saturday, April 5 - Seattle (tentative)

There is also a vague possibility that I might play in Spokane, WA and/or Moscow, ID on the 6th and 7th, respectively, if shows get booked for those nights.  (It is also possible that one or more of these shows may be rescheduled.)

See my "band" page for more information as it emerges. (There is an RSS feed which will track additions and changes as they come.  I will also be adding information to my last.fm page for those who use last.fm.)

So is this one.

We really should.

The two videos I was referring to last night:

• Blake Lewis before he was on American Idol
• KT Tunstall rocking the loop pedal
