Short-Wave Radios & Percussion

Jon Mueller and Jim Schoenecker are playing tonight at the Lemp Arts Center with Brain Transplant & Joe Ragliani.

I can't go, but want to, because these are the guys who organized a concert in an abandoned railway station in Chicago. They sent anonymous invites through the mail, with train tickets inside. So you boarded the train without knowing what would happen. When all the passengers disembarked, the band started to play.

I think Hakim Bey would agree that the world needs more of this sort of thing...

I don't think the setup tonight will quite that elaborate, but I do know that Shoendecker sometimes plays a shortwave radio.
