Funky chicken for the hipsters among you…

Neil June 20th, 2008

Bostich and Fussible live performance on Morning Becomes Eclectic:

Well, you may ban your DJ from playing the funky chicke, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dance the step to a different tune! This music makes me feel silly and spastic all at the same time, which for me is not a new emotional cocktail - as I live it with Liesl regularly.  If you go out with us and get crazy silly, you’ll know what I mean - and this can be our soundtrack.

Last week, I had spend the night before salsa dancing with Liesl and I had that hyper and smooth Latin style on the brain - but my scenester brain wasn’t happy with the traditional orchestral sound so I pitched you some fly mod tango music. This week - we’re flipping to the new release by the Nortec Collective which is what happens when some Mariachi get juiced on some Gran Patron and stumble into a club with a DJ that convinces them to jam with him. I prefer the MP3 service from Amazon.com where you can download and add them to your music library wherever you want - take advantage of that and download this free MP3 sample from the album! If you’d like to just drop your $8 and buy the whole album, use this link to get it. Otherwise you can preview everything from this player:

Meet Meg & Dan.

Yep, that is them.  That is what they act like, really.  So what if they are doctors!!  I had just taken a “normal” shot of them and said, “Wow! I think I just got a normal picture of the two of you!”

And right away they both strike a pose.  They really do think alike!

My favorite shot of Neil’s!

And this one was taken with a home made lens.  I love to play with it!

At the end of the night I took Meg and Dan up to their suite at the Inn on Broadway.  Their tenderness toward each other is so beautiful to observe!

You two were so amazing to hang out with for a day.  I hope I get to spend more time with you in the future!

All the best,
