Mon. Music Mash-Up Madness

One never knows what may be found when looking for a nostalgic wallow.
Bay Area BÖC jam band Flaming Telepaths plays the BÖC classic like you've never heard before. Jeff Zittrain - guitar, vcl; Rob Rothfarb - bass, vcl; Sam Zabor - drums, vcl; Eric Schultz - sax, snaps
When exactly did the collective we run out of original ideas? (Did anyone notice or was something shiny & noisy distracting us all?) Not to say this is intolerable or not fun & clever.

On the other hand, "Bay Area BOC [sic] jam band"?!? How niche-y can it get? Pretty soon bands will be playing for world-wide iNternet audiences composed only of their family & any friends whose own family members aren't in bands. Another reason to despise technological democracy.

  1. OK, I know you're way more literate than I am (Really. Way better read, edamacated, and you have probably forgotten more about music than I've ever known), but why is that SIC

    No dieresis on the O. (Wasn't going to cover for them forever; already had to change "vox" to "vcls" in the blockquote & add the dieresis there.)

    Far as edumacation, I haven't graduated from any institution higher than eighth grade. Attendance doesn't mean apprehension, just grammar pedantry & assholery.

    And if only I'd bothered to learn "music" rather than show biz.
