Live and in Color!
Yesterday the DVD from SoniqueBoom Gerry, over at the Youth and Beauty Brigade yahoo list, arrived in my soggy mailbox. I've never played a home-burned DVD before, and the player app on my iBook was quite grumpy about it. Several times I got messages that the disc was either dirty or scratched and could play no longer. After a couple delicate wipes it played just fine, except the track advance button won't go past 12, even though there are 14 chapters. They work fine if you jump to them from the menu. I checked it on the "real" DVD player, and it got confused after chapter 12 and called chapter 13 chapter 1 and so on, but it eventually played just fine there, too. So, 1 little glitch isn't going to ruin my fun! Many thanks to Gerry for making it and then sharing his video treasure. I think it's funny that the 2 requests that were yelled from the back of the house are the 2 songs that play in the menu. I wonder who asked for them, (Gerry!)? I wonder if there are any easter eggs on it? I wonder if it's in 5.1 surround sound? I wonder if I can rip the audio?
I made a cover for it, to go in the totally blank case it came in.
The audience looks small and largely disinterested, or perhaps so indie hip they can't even be bothered to nod, let alone dance. Years from now it'll be fun to hear way too many people say they were there.
