Two things have made the late night trek back south to San Diego
tolerable--the diamond lane and listening to the IPO Vol. 9 CD. Early
favorites are Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Carolyn Edwards and Squiddo. Even
enjoying the Innocent's inspired lifting of a Pet Clark classic. One
generation's "Don't Sleep in the Subway" is another generation's "Your
Precious Touch." But then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The IPO CD is definitely a winner this year. I ripped the whole thing to my
iPod the first night I got it, and there were only a handful of tracks I
didn't like. I already had the Roger Manning and Carolyn Edwards tracks from
their respective releases. I think my favorite song on the CD's is "Shine On"
by Mama Got Five. We got to see them at the Knitting Factory the other
night, and they were amazing. They're really nice guys too. We were able to get
a copy of their recently finished CD. It's good too. They're in the
process of looking for a record label.
I'd say my favorite performances from this year's festival so far include:
Chris Von Sneidern
Sebastian Clark
The Letter Openers
Mama Got Five
Madman Moon (the previous 3 were all from the Knitting Factory show on
Friday)
Master - McCarthy (great harmonies)
The Sexies
Eugene Edwards (but he always puts on a wonderful show)
