Sleep deprivation
2003-10-24 by Roger Rossen
Ginger Baker lives ! Sleep is your friend Roger :O Gary Well yes it is - but actually: There is this hilarious (and extremely talented) band I got turned onto out at NEARfest 2003 (NorthEast ArtRock festival - this is the CENTER of the prog-rock world...I cannot begin to tell you how highly I recommend this event for all of you out there into this kinda music - its a religious thing for me) they are called: "Sleepy-Time Gorilla Museum" and 1 of their main 'hits' from this new band, is called : "Sleep Is Wrong". And I think that I totally and completely embrace that statement! Their music is a cross between King Crimson and Marilyn Manson...a beautiful marriage of musical elements! I saw these guys down at Schuba's (Chicago) a couple weeks after their NEARfest performance and had a chance to chat with them. They are the kinda friends who make me happy to be pursuing something just as off-kilter and rewardless as any good music is, that doesn't ever get "public" acceptance - because of the suppressive "music business machine"! ok- i'm going off again- Cheers All, Finally got some sleep- Even though it was WRONG!
