Oh, I’m so happy for you! Not many theremin players get so much time in the spot light.I wish you the best of luck and hope your act really gets trough the NYC audition.

I’ve never watched an entire episode either Cliff — Just clips on YouTube. Anyway, all I can say at this point is that I’ll let people know as much as I’m allowed to say as soon as the AGT people allow me to say it.

Fantastic. If you’re selected can you at least tell people when the ‘whole experience’ would be over? Like, when would the episodes/’season’ you are auditioning for air — summer/fall?

And sorry you’ll have to pardon my own ignorance about AGT, never watched it (!).

Love the drama about the boombox…

Yup, that was what it was. The only good thing for me was knowing I had to leave for a gig, something most of people there probably never did

Sounds like you went to one of the open cattle calls, Andy? That’s one of the reasons why I was hesitant at first — I had no patience to be treated as you were. However, like I said, this was a differently organized VIP call and they clearly wanted to see my act live. I had a specific appointment time and, except for the nearly catastrophic lack of the promised amp, everything ran like clockwork.

I went to audition in New York a few years ago. They did all the singers first. All music acts were “novelty acts”
I waited and waited. By the time they started the novelty acts, I had to leave to get to a gig.
Never tried again.
Good luck,

Translation: I just put a compilation of indie music on my site that you may be interested because it contains a song from Lido Pimienta.

Thanks, Jenny. I linked to that video from the original playlist here, but it didn't carry over to this blog version. The "story" of the video (found and bought on eBay for a ridiculous sum) seems too fantastical to be true, so I agree that this is a fake. But what a great song!

i think if this is not a lost classic from the early 80s but rather a 2000s-fake, then its quite obvious that this an orginal recording by ‘al bird dirt’ (myspace.com/dirtboy200) – the musician alter ego by filmmaker al bird gore. cheers from denmark!
