collisionwork | Random Ten Housecleaning Day (Reply)

Three performances left of Secrets History Remembers at The Brick. Nice little listing, with photo, in Gothamist. It looks like lots of people are coming Sunday; small houses thus far. It's been fun, but a bit annoying as the Powerpoint will not run consistently, with different lags and stutters in the transitions, so I can't be 100% correct in my timings. But good enough, and the show looks beautiful.

House cleaning of both literal and figurative kinds this morning - taking out the garbage, cleaning the litter box, doing the dishes, emailing potential actors for my Baby Jesus Festival play, "Marshmallow World," by Marc Spitz, and planning out a rehearsal schedule, calling the garage I go to to see about bringing the car in for a checkup and alignment, thinking about what in the hell I'm going to create as a "ten-minute original piece" for The Brick's 5th Anniversary party coming up, and spending bits of all the time vaguely thinking about next year's shows.

So, anyway, in between it all, a friday morning Random Ten:

1. "Cadillac" - Bo Diddley - The Chess Box
2. "Saga of Jenny" - Lotte Lenya - Kurt Weill: American Theater Songs
3. "Maria" - Brian Eno & James - Wah Wah
4. "Black Night" - Daniel Janin & J.C. Pierric - Melodie en Soul Sol
5. "Make Me Belong To You" - Sandy Coast - Nederbeat The B-Sides 4
6. "Baby I Need Your Loving" - The Four Tops - Hitsville U.S.A., The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971
7. "Full Speed" - Claude Bolling - Stereo Ultra
8. "Nothing Will Ever Be The Same" - Off Beats - Dumb Looks Still Free
9. "No Good" - B.B. King - King of the Blues
10. "You Missed It All" - July - July
