repeat

july 2nd - word of the day - "repeat"
playlist



SO CATS AND DOGS!
its word plays COVER SHOW part deux.

kat and i had a marrrrvelous covers show in the spring (if that strikes your fancy, listen here). i, of course, HAD to repeat the word of the day "repeat" since, to be frank, there are so many covers out there floating in cyberspace. i hope you all enjoyed, are enjoying, or will enjoy.

what was the first cover song in your memory? my father (who, as i will write time and again, schooled me in music appreciation from the time i could hear music) revealed to me that the one aerosmith song i knew so well in the 80s was IN FACT a beatles song orignally on abbey road. when i was a yee young gal growing up in the suburbs, trying to make 4-track mix tapes of my newly-acquired guitar skills, i first covered "hide your love away."

covers are such a great sub-category of the music universe! here's a fun one-- ben folds covering "bitches aint shit" by dr. dre. i saw this live myself and definitely should share.



and speaking of live, there are some GREAT live shows coming up! i myself will be seeing the octopus project and explosions in the sky on 4th of july and will for sure come back here to give a little review of the show. ALSO!
-next wednesday, july 15th -- tortoise is playing at the mohawk THEN the dirty projectors are playing at red 7 -- CHECK IT OUT if you can since red 7 is such a tiny place and im sure dirty projectors will rock that space out!
-next thursday, july 16th -- the blue hit and the river hymn will be playing at san marcos's triple crown. let me tell you, i had the blue hit play in my own backyard last year and was blown away by this 3-piece band with a cello and amazing lady vocalist. ive yet to see the river hymn but know the female vocalist and know her pipes are fantastic also, so all you san martians should absolutely check that out.

thats all i got for this week!
thanks for tuning in, and dont forget that next week's word of the day is up for suggestions! email me your ideas for a word at ktswwordplay@gmail.com and you might get your word played!
