Dirty Projectors at the Phil
The Dirty Projectors are playing at Walt Disney Concert Hall on Saturday with the LA Philharmonic. Who is excited about that? We are. We all are very excited about that, yourself included. In an interview with LA Weekly, Dave Longstreth from the Dirty Projectors provided my new favorite quote:
Longstreth says it took him no time to assemble a comprehensive list of pieces he wanted to hear the Phil perform, but the challenge was finding music that fit the specs of the orchestra.
“It was difficult for me. I kept being, like, ””Yo! Let”s do some late-”70s Philip Glass stuff, where the winds are amplified and this shit is just fucking terse!” ”
Hahaha. Anyone who can make Philip Glass sound gangsta is okay in my book. “Yo! Gimme some of that Philip Glass business and make it fucking terse!”
