Of Montreal + Saturday Looks Good To Me @ Knitting Factory, 9.15.05
This record is broken now: September 9 - 15 is a sick week for shows. I've said it twice before and now I'll say it again. Do we really need the overkill of Of Montreal, Saturday Looks Good To Me, and the Bill Nayer Show at the Knitting Factory on September 15? Of Course! I'm guessing this is a CMJ show; Brooklyn Vegan could probably confirm that for me.

Let's review that week again:

September 9 - The National and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (Bowery Ballroom)- SOLD OUT
September 9 - Bloc Party and the Kills (Roseland) - SOLD OUT
September 10 - Nouvelle Vague (Joe's Pub)
September 11 - Seu Jorge (Bowery Ballroom)
September 12 - Sigur Rós (Beacon Theatre)
September 12 - A-Ha (Irving Plaza) - SOLD OUT
September 12 - Seu Jorge (Bowery Ballroom)
September 13 - Sigur Rós (Beacon Theatre)
September 13 - Nouvelle Vague (Joe's Pub)
September 13 - Rolling Stones (MSG) - SOLD OUT
September 15 - Arcade Fire (Central Park Summerstage) - SOLD OUT
September 15 - Of Montreal + Saturday Looks Good To Me (Knitting Factory) - Not on Sale Yet

"#5 (Go Bang)"
"#7 (Recorded Live at the Kitchen, 1979)"
Not that it takes much, but the trailer for the upcoming Arthur Russell documentary got me onto an AR kick the other day, and I headed for Dinosaur L's 24-24 Music. 24-24 is thought by some to be the gem of Russell's dancier material, and it'll hopefully be reissued soon. The Francois K remix of its masterstroke "#5 (Go Bang)" kicks off 2004's The World of Arthur Russell compilation, but I actually prefer the 24-24 original (MP3). When I first heard 24-24, though, the standout for me was far more fleeting. The two-minute "#7 (Recorded Live at the Kitchen, 1979)" (MP3) is a tantalizingly short slice of a session I hope is sitting in full in a vault somewhere. Russell's cello anchors a percussive horn-guitar groove that quickly recalls (or, I should say, previews) !!! and others. And, like much of Russell's music, I love it not only for its sound but also for the era of NYC it instantly evokes.
