Tok Tok Tok - Reach Out...And Sway Your Booty

On Thursday Benjamin and I went to a concert at the jazz bar Unterfahrt. The band playing was Tok Tok Tok. The singer Tokunbo Akinro and the saxophonist Morten Klein (tok tok tok’s two bandleaders), founded the band in 1998. They play groovy, funky soul music. I had one cd already, but enjoyed them a lot more live.
We had seats in the first row and had a great time. It was the best concert I have been to in the past years. I bought 2 cds (I wish, Reach out ... and sway your booty), got some autographs and went home happy.





You can also listen to more music on MySpace Tok Tok Tok.

Honey or Tar by CocoRosie

I just dicovered CocoRosie recently and I love their music. They gave a concert here in Munich just two weeks ago and being in Spain I saddly missed it. I hope I´ll be able to see them live some day.

Honey or Tar
by CocoRosie

I undressed you with my eyes i have
Maybe even raped you
In the dark and eerie corners of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time
I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while i clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child's
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar

Concert without Saxophone (ATC)

Every two weeks we have a babysitter and my husband and I go out for the evening. This Wednesday we went to a concert: Concert (1958, for piano and orchestra) composed by John Cage.
Cage wrote "My favorite music is the music I haven't yet heard. I don't hear the music I write: I write in order to hear the music I haven't yet heard."
It was more of a happening than a concert and we did enjoy the evening.


(There was no sax played at the concert, but anyway I like this pic. This one was done using only Sharpies.)

(I had to leave the concert earlier, so maybe I missed the sax. My husband said he did hear one.)
