FAQs
Q: How do we get in touch with you?
A: Send an email to lucidculture [at] gmail [dot] com. That’s the general address for this blog and its older sister jazz/classical music blog Lucid Culture.
Q: On the live music calendar, how come you listed the headline act and not the openers? (there’s a variant on this question that pops up every so often: how come you listed the opening acts and not the headliner?)
A: Several possible answers. A) there were opening acts? B) the opening acts (or headliner) sucked and that’s why they weren’t listed. The live music calendar isn’t a listing of every band playing every venue: it’s a carefully selected list of good performers. Many times, a good band will follow a sucky band or vice versa. You won’t find the sucky bands here.
Q: Why do you hate Facebook so much?
A: The problems with Facebook are well documented and all over the web: do some basic googling and you’ll find out enough to make you want to cancel your account, in the event that you are one of the dwindling minority who still haven’t canceled their Facebook pages. Be aware that fewer than 50% of Americans under 20 are on Facebook: kids are hip to what’s going on. Think about it: if the government told everyone including you that they had to sign over all their personal info including 24/7 GPS location along with photos of family, children, friends and friends’ children, plus your resume, your workplace, your political affiliation, your taste in movies, tv, music and books, the sports teams you root for AND all email communication with all your friends, there would be a FUCKING REVOLUTION. But because it’s Facebook that’s doing it and not the government, that makes it somehow ok??? Facebook is fascist. They must be destroyed. Destruction starts with a total boycott. Be part of the revolution and let’s bring those fascists down. Death to Facebook!
Any idea if The Dixons are still active?
They don’t play out a lot anymore, but they still do the occasional show at the Jalopy or Union Pool http://www.myspace.com/thedixonshonkytonk

Musaner’s evocative sound derives from the combination of jazz orchestration, musical storytelling and the use of Armenian folk music and instuments.
During the past few years, Musaner has played extensively in the Boston area to sell-out audiences, and has performed in Milano, Italy and Zurich, Switzerland presenting their colorful, exciting and entertaining music.
The Boston Phoenix has described musaner as “a refreshing, intoxicating brew … played by some of the best of the Boston scеnе”.
Musaner’s appearance at Drom will be the group’s debut performance in New York City as they celebrate their 5 year anniversary and the release of their second album in November, 2012.
I\’ll be returning to New York at ZirZamin (90 W. Houston St.) 7-7:45PM WED FEB 27. I\’m from Toronto.
Check out some music compiled from my 8 albums. \’Do What You Love\’ was just released. https://soundcloud.com/aporia-records/sets/lily-frost-greatest-hits
