Photos: Ed Schrader/DJ Dog Dick, Carsick Cars.

Lots of music over at Hampshire College this past Friday night.



First: Baltimore howled and I answered the call. Ed Schrader is the best talk show host I know, and he's also a captivating performer of unique drum 'n voice showtunes. Also, he does radio drama. Also, look at those abs.



DJ Dog Dick was super great, mixing improvisational suitcase noise with original pop choruses zapped straight from 1996. Gregg Gillis applied to Mudboy or something.

Adventure also played but it was too dark for pictures. I was expecting the video game dance moves from his self-titled album, but the dude went straight for tripped-out synth space travel. Nice.







After BMore slayed, Beijing's Carsick Cars zeroed in on the dining hall. You just don't hear chugging, kraut-inspired Chinese rock 'n roll very often. The band was excellent, the crowd was even better - I don't make it to many shows where there are hoards of girls shrieking like it's the British Invasion all over again.

Really fun times.
