mike patton, john zorn and ikue mori performed live last night at a small joint called tonic, in dowtown nyc and yours truly was in attendance. it was a truly nice surprise to see one of my favorite musicians (patton) performing on new years eve. all though it was a very short set, it gave me the opportunity to spend the midnight hour with loved ones with a mere 15 minute cab ride back to my hood shortly after the show. and speaking of the new year, how come blogger doesn't give me the option of using the hebrew calendar (year 5764 i believe) as an alternative? for someone like me who doesnt really adhere to manmade rules of christianity, i don't believe we should all be forcefed into following dates that were conjured up by the roman catholic church (am i wrong?).
