learnteachWent to a KFOG private concert Thursday night (missing Le Crapaud, where Vytas recieved the Fluer. Go Vytas! Yay!) and
wow. 7 police cars. Gotta find out what happened here at some point. Injured police man (went over a fence wrong?) and they're not saying anything (asked, and the response was "No threat to public safety.") but the captain was here, and police guys who drove up in their own cars, leaped out and put on their jackets.
I'm embarrassed about how my house looks.
ANYHOW, the two groups could be thought of as "Visceral and Intellectual" or "Male and Female" or "Southern LA versus Southern LA". Take your pick.
Marc Broussard is a hard muscled hard singing guitar playing shouting southern boy from Louisiana, possibly a modern "Johnny B. Good". He sings his songs out from his gut, shouting and shaking sometimes like a repressed white boy in a black Baptist church--the intensity of the words powers out of him. When he's playing and singing, he's tense like a high school lineback about to explode into the opposing line, waiting for the snap. The songs are strong, evocative of the feelings of faith and lonelyness. The style is country blues, or rock, with a little pop. He played the set with his father (daddy) Ted, and the harmonies were heartfelt as was the guitar jamming back and forth.

The Diddybops http://www.diddybops.com/recipes.htm
are two women based out of Los Angeles (Abby and Amanda). Their music is something like They Might be Giants lyrics (written from a female viewpoint, so more about mood and feeling) sung in Moxy Fruvious harmonies over Asylum Street Spankers instrumentals. As all of these are my favorite bands, it's hard not to like the Diddybops, even though I don't understand their songs. They're incredibly cute, and also musically talented. And their website has comics!
I feel giddy just thinking about them. You can borrow their album from me, if you like.
