WOAH is all I had to say after attending Kaki King just a coupla minutes ago.
quite the one-woman army, she plays the guitar, lap steel guitar, drums and piano. all with quite an amazing control of speed, intensity, and jaw dropping technique, and plus a sampler too.
From wiki: King's style combines fret-tapping with slap bass techniques, using the guitar for percussional beats, as well as sound layering and looping, which creates a percussive and complex sound.
to top it off...
In February 2006, King was named as a “Guitar God” by Rolling Stone Magazine, becoming the first ever female to make this list in the history of the publication.

It has been an intense week, assignments et al concerning Communications Policy. Man, such a dry subject. But it was through a greater understanding of how countries develop their cultural policies in the face of media and technological convergence today that one realises how inherently evil the media might be. Pretty certain staying away from working directly in the media will be a course of action for the future.
In many ways, I feel a drummer's role is to simply keep time as the pulse of a band. But this guy takes the cake. He's happily mad and I'm glad for him!
It's quite the feeling making your own pizza and then vegging out watching dvds to pass the weekend, instead of the usual call for deliveries, and that's what Ron and I did.
