Took a sick day on this rainy Thursday as the cold virus I've been nursing all week seems to be blossoming into a bouquet of sinus headache, fatigue, and gross nasal congestion. Passing the day with failed attempts at long naps, long meals, financial aid forms, reading for work and non-work. Came across this little gem of an article re: my friend and musical comrade David Baker Benson. The funniest part is that last week Brendan Fitzgerald (the author of the piece and my buddy/semi-boss at C-Ville Weekly when I occasionally wrote for them) called me up to ask if the rumors he'd heard of a DBB Plays Cups show at Random Row were actually true and if maybe I could pass on David's cell number so he could verify the gig's time/place/lineup. Called back and let him know that David's got pretty much no digital or telecom presence. Anyway, props to Brendan, his article does a nice job of summing up a number of the salient, unique, weird, wonderful features of David's ongoing project.
