klunch_0527In case you have no plans tonight and you find yourself in or adjacent to the Red Hook area of Brooklyn, N.Y.: I will be performing at the Jalopy Theater (315 Columbia St.) tonight as part of “Critical Karaoke,” in which music scribes perform a piece that’s written to the length of the song they’re writing about; also on the bill are Michaelangelo Matos, Robert Christgau, Rob Sheffield, Rob Harvilla, among others. The song I’m going to discuss is by an act that’s a frequent topic of conversation around these parts, although it’s probably not the act you’re thinking of right now. Showtime’s 9 p.m. Come down! (I’ll post the piece tomorrow, for those of you who are geographically challenged.) [Jalopy Theater]

  1. It’s not Ida Maria? I can’t wait to find out then.

    This idea sounds cool, but just so I understand, you guys are writing a piece about a certain song then reciting the piece on stage and it has to be the length of the song you’re writing about? And I’m guessing you’re accompanied by the backing track. Sounds cool, either way.

  2. @MayhemintheHood: That is exactly the concept. (And no, it’s not Ida Maria.)

  3. This sounds fun even though I will be nowhere near Brooklyn tonight.

    I’m guessing the piece is about ‘Golden Phone.’

  4. I would totally come to this.
