Shake it Like a Polaroid. . .Picture
Yes. Yes. Ladies and Gentry, last night my life got served a double fudge banana split sunday with more Bridgeman wafer cookies than I could possibly manage to chew. You see, the Rachel’s (a review) came to town and shook the rubble and plaster off the Theater De La Jeune Lune with their sonic chamber music. Life felt good. But ohhhh there was more. Matt Pond and Eve Miller were doing Guitar/Cello renditions of Matt Pond songs (try closer.mp3). If these two incredible musicians are coming to your town soon, make sure you don’t miss it. As a bonus, Matt and Eve played the ‘traditional’ Hey Ya by a group called Outkast(!?!?). If you are familiar with this traditional song, when you hear it arranged for cello, you will begin giggling but by the time the haunting ‘Shake it Like a Polaroid’ collapses into a Matt Pond six string dirge, you wont be laughing anymore. In addition to all this sonic goodness, the show was opened by a master puppeteer who preformed elegant and subtle marionette activity. The world needs more marionettes! Huge props go out to the puppeteer for an old school dedication to mastery and craftsmanship.
