| 5:05 pm | Flightless Buttress Flightless Buttress, a cello+guitar duo I'd never seen before, opened for Goli and "The And Company" last night at Yes.Oui.Si, an art gallery by MassArt. Instrumental cello & guitar duo. Compelling, particularly if you go for the Punch Brothers / Turtle Island / Bee Eaters / Darol Anger / Mike Marshall / Bela Fleck / Edgar Meyer / etc. style of acoustic music that has no good genre name yet IMO. |

Good ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1){kind=small} coraline and nacht_musik footage around 3:56-4:08, and again 6:05-6:20.Best view of the band from in front, with banner, around 5:30-5:50. Taiko drum sticks interlude around 6:35-6:45. Last two clips deliberately out of order because it holds together better that way :) |

| 5:15 pm | Blue Moose free show  Tomorrow evening at 6:30pm, Blue Moose & the Unbuttoned Zippers are playing a free show at Titus Sparrow Park in Boston's South End, near the Prudential and Back Bay T stops. Blue Moose & the Unbuttoned Zippers is an acoustic quartet of mostly-strings, playing music that combines bluegrass, folk-rock, Cape Breton fiddling, and Norwegian & Swedish fiddle music. Although they're local, I actually first saw them at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival last year, when they were in the emerging artists showcase. Out of 24 artists, audiences get to vote for three, and the three top vote-getters get invited back to perform as actual booked acts the following year - which Blue Moose did at this year's Falcon Ridge. I think they were #1 in last year's audience vote from the showcase. Wanna come join me at the free show? |

| 10:48 am | Play music for each other over the net MixApp is shared music listening software written by an MITish group of people. You join a MixApp group, in which there are "rooms" which are like online chatrooms with playlists. Anyone in a room can add music from their iTunes library to the room playlist, and anyone can rearrange or remove tracks. Everyone in the room hears the track that's currently at the top of the playlist. It's in beta testing currently, and among other things, that means: - Only mp3 files. You can't play mp4/aac or other files times from your library yet. - Only for OS X (Macintosh). They're working on a Windows MixApp client. If you're on a Mac, come join my MixApp group! You can listen to some of the rooms I've started up there and filled up with music (freefall, Ecto, 80's, Afropop Worldwide, Southern Rail, Finland, Massachusetts Music) or add your music to them or make a new room or two. |
