Lisa and I may go back to the Rotunda on Saturday. Not for another artsy-fartsy, sureal movie but for this:
Deathwaltz Records
Presents
Music for the VillainFrench Gypsy Swing, Dismal Mexicali, and Sinister Avant Circus music fuse collectively with bizarre films to form an alluring evening.
F! (myspace link):
Cinematic and menacing waltzes intertwine with avant malevolence in F!’s ultimate cartoon score for high society. Twisting genres like Parisian polka with Italian opera, F! has been tweaking compositions into a gothic spaghetti western you can’t seem to get out of your head.Daphne (myspace link):
Philadelphia’s gypsy jazz quartet Daphne draws its inspiration from the swing jazz of the forties and the French Musette. Daphne’s wide repertoire ranges from American jazz standards to traditional European folk music.Gringo Motel (myspace link):
Gringo Motel is a desert twang, instrumental surf band with excursions into mariachi, ambient landscapes, circus music and outsider art. Their desolate resonance of somber tunes invoke reality as a picture show.
How cool is that? I wonder if I should bring a comfortable folding chair?
Sounds like a good time. I’d go, if I were you.

Who will be working at commencement on Saturday.
commencement? I’m confused!
Yep, commencement. My “day job” is doing marketing and PR for a university.
Are you less confused now?

Ahhhh, yeah, well, other than seeing those movies and planning a trip tomorrow for the concert, I have very little to do with UPenn. I didn’t even think in terms of graduation; I guess I’m kinda removed from all that.
