Vote Reyes!

Vote for Reyes

Oy, what I week … get­ting cyber­stalked (there is a law against that, right?) … deal­ing with this lousy Smarch weather … try­ing to fig­ure out what the hell is going on with “Lost” (why are the sur­vivors “can­di­dates,” and for what? Mayor of the island? In that case, I vote for Hur­ley) … it’s been a strange and not alto­gether pleas­ant few days.

Ver­ily, though ye be plas­tered by Yang, Yin will soon appear to pick you up. My pick-up came this morn­ing in the form of  a very nice write-up of Not Cool by Greg Edwards over at Gap­ple­gate Music Review. “Chris Kelsey shows that he is at the fore­front of the fiery reedists today. The music is exhil­a­rat­ing, over­flow­ing, bril­liant,” says Greg, a line  sure to inspire exces­sive blush­ing and/or preen­ing. Even if you don’t read the review of Not Cool, head over to Gap­ple­gate and check out Greg’s reviews of Con­nie Crothers/Michael Bisio, Albert Ayler, Toby Dri­ver, Roy Har­ris (yes, the clas­si­cal com­poser), Evan Parker, and many and sundry other intrigu­ing musi­cians. To be con­sid­ered in such com­pany is an honor, indeed.
