Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To
Those are two lucky men.
This shot was from the Brooklyn Bowl the other day, but Phil and his Phriends are back where they belong in Marin County; tonight your pal Reddy Kilowatt is playing with Stu Allen and everyone’s new favorite person Holly Bowling (who really should get herself a band already). Check it out at Radio Busterdog.
This is Holly Bowling; later, I’ll show you Holly Drinking and Holly Stealing The Bowling Shoes and Holly Getting Tackled By A Cop. Right now, though, go watch Holly talk and listen to her play the piano, which she does well.
Now, obviously the woman practices, and knows her F-sharps from her G-flats, but one of the reasons she plays the piano so well are these:
If you have fingers like that, you’re legally required to take piano lessons; it’s like how the tall kid had to be on the basketball team, even though he was a complete goon. Look at those ladyfingers! Nine or ten knuckles apiece, and long and skinny: like an aye-aye with a manicure. Good guitarists have big hands, but piano players have elegant hands.
Did you know ladies could be pianists? Big ones. Pianists of power of magnitude.
Stop it.
Girthy pianists.
Don’t do this.
Pianists that require two hands.
Really?
The kind of pianists you send videos of to your friends. “Look at this pianist!”
You done?
…
Yeah.
Great.
Y’know, that was a shitty Rock Nerd thing to do this morning. Kendrick Lamar is great. The way he talks about things over music? That’s some good talking-over-music.
Anyway, let’s make amends: the video above is the multi-talented Taylor Swift from last night’s show.
Nope. Holly Bowling playing Eyes of the World.
Oh. Not Taylor Swift?
Nope.
The musical talent should have given it away?
…
Were you making a little Tay-Tay joke when you called her “multi-talented?”
Not at all. She can be photographed from the left or right.
Sure.
