The Operator

A slightly revised, faster, more eclectic version of what we played in high school...


Just as I prioritized flamenco over school this spring in Berkeley, this weekend I prioritized Meridian 2007 over grad school. Here is another one of our "classics" from twelve years ago - maximum respect to Eric once again for his incredible studio skills as a drummer, bassist, beatbox artist, and professional producer. The three of us played from midnight until 3am on Saturday, then from 10pm until 1am last night, and we had way too much fun. Then Jake and I got up early this morning to go to grad skool, where I gave yet another presentation. Finally going to finish the Master's on Friday - ole!! Always gotta make time for music, though. Thanks for staying tuned, y'all, I'll be posting from Tanzania soon...

This one's a little sloppy, but we were really tired last night...


OJO!!! ALL THESE SONGS WILL SOUND BETTER IF YOU HAVE GOOD SPEAKERS!!!! (my computer speakers are terrible).
Check out the new rhymes at the end of the song - but don't be alarmed when I talk about the developing world. All I'm trying to say is that it's a euphemism that makes it okay for us to go on eating our dinner in front of the TV and not do anything about the situation. Read my second-ever post on this blog (from 2005) if you want to learn more, and see pics of Ali and Baboukar.

Original Meridian Pics from '95-'96

Just got back from twelve days in Norway: swimming and fishing in the fjords, and singing country songs with Anette (video to come???). Anyway, now I've started grad skool again (just three weeks to go) so I'll be too busy to post regularly, but in the meantime, here are some old pics of Jake and me and our band. Listen to Da Spanish Song, look at the pics, and that's pretty much what we were like back in high school!!
