Once again, nothing like that personalized, autographed CD cover.

Once again, nothing like that personalized, autographed CD cover.

If you caught my last post, I went on about a talented young bassist by the name of Julie Slick who plays bass in the Adrian Belew Power Trio.  For this young lady to be able to handle parts by bassists of such renown as Tony Levin, Les Claypool and others, as well as converting parts played on the Chapman Stick and Warr Guitar, is an ambitious feat in itself.  So it was of little surprise to me that she could conjure up a series of songs to compile a solo disc.  What was surprising was the depth and imaginativeness as well as the maturity and depth of composition this young artist has displayed.  Again, if you are looking for Katy Perry, Lada Yada, or other pop divas of that ilk, this ain’t it.  This is the direction of progressive music of the female gender.  Artists like Tori Amos, Nina Hagen, even some instrumental Laurie Anderson come to mind.  Slick professes not to be a vocalist, but I’d love to comprise this line-up: Amos on keyboards and vocals, Anderson on keyboards, violin, electronics and vocals, Slick on bass and electronics, and Maureen Tucker of Velvet Underground (Anderson’s husband Lou Reed’s former bandmate) on percussion and anything else she wants.

GoGo’s my gluteus maximus (and at my age, it is maximus)…

I know, I know…  I said I would be posting more regularly, but I had severe difficulties with my Internet Service Provider, Enter.Net.  For all you readers in my former hometown, Allentown PA, you must know that Enter.Net is a substandard provider and has no regard for customers outside it’s immediate geographic region.  The internet is global.  Since I was unable to access the internet for many weeks with dependability, posting was a problem.  I have switched to a new provider, Comcast, and upgraded to a T1 connection.  So I should be able to upload those boatloads of photos faster.

I extend my sympathies to my webmasters.

You’re reading a review.

About someone you’ve never heard of.

But…

You should know her.

You should know her work.

You should know her work is.

You should know her work is for… YOU!

She is a performance artist, music, dance, theater, comedy, drama, love, hate, technology…  She is a political activist.  But I don’t go near politics and I don’t go near music artists when they sit between their wives and ex-wives.
