Club Cafe, Pittsburgh, PA.... I got to interview Dolby on WYEP prior to the show, and I asked him first about his work in interactive audio (and the fact that he made a ton of money licensing software to mobile phone companies during the ringtone era) and then about the fact that he once said that touring no longer made economic sense for him and he would likely never go on the road again. He replied that success in one led to the freedom to do the other, and so he was back on stages doing solo shows in which he was like a mad scientist of the synthesizers.  He wore a camera strapped to his head, feeding a screen behind him so you could see what he was doing from his POV. It was pretty fun, and great hearing these songs live after thinking that would never happened. Especially great to hear his Dolby's Cube song "Hyperactive." setlist: Leipzig One of Our Submarines I Live in a Suitcase Flying North The Flat Earth Budapest by Blimp Windpower Europa and the Pirate Twins Hyp...

Kopec's, Pittsburgh, PA.... After going to see the art on display at a former plant warehouse at 3618 Penn Avenue for Art All Night (and saying hello to Bumblebee Slim and Wrett Weatherspoon, who were broadcasting live on site for WYEP), I went with Betsy and Ned to see Slim Forsythe and his band do their old time country swing radio broadcast simulation thing. It was a very entertaining show. Kopecs Bar

Rongovian Embassy, Trumansburg, NY...... My then-girlfiend, now-wife and I were visiting Ithaca and were happy to see that Boy with a Fish was playing at the Rongo. The Rongo was a bar and music venue that everyone I knew went to while I was at Ithaca College in the 1980s--except me. I had never been to a show there, so I was glad to go to a locally legendary space that had some sporadic closures over the years. (It has since closed permanently.) Boy With a Fish was a side project by members of the band The Horseflies during a hiatus period for them. I had heard their 2004  Birds Fly Backwards  album and had played the song "Sometimes" a little on WYEP. We had a fun time at their show and I had a chance to chat a little with Jeff and Judy from the band. There was also a band called Hubcap on the bill, but I don't think we saw them.
