I quite enjoyed their set, probably more so because it had been so long since I’d been out listening to something like this.

Country-tinged rock, or maybe vice versa. I’d heard the name but hadn’t seen them before.

Our openers were local band Snake River, playing their first show together since before the pandemic. At least Swearing Man stood by his convictions. Too cowardly to have an actual confrontation, too delicate to just wear the god damned mask already. Someone else near us sympathized with Swearing Man, grumbling through the whole show, sarcastically berating the emcee for not wearing a mask while talking to the crowd, and pulling his own mask down whenever there were no volunteers around. The guy said he would when he wasn’t on the phone the volunteer pointed out that this was not actually a request per se, to which the guy said “why are you having a FUCKING concert if you’re going to be so uptight?” The volunteer, who had the patience of a saint while doing the Lord’s work, asked the guy to leave, which he did, swearing all the way. A volunteer working the show asked him to pull his mask up. One person who didn’t stay for the show was this dude near us who was talking on his phone, mask down, waiting for the show to start. Wasn’t a bad turnout, but there was room for more. Plus, let’s say that the attendance allowed for a respectable amount of social distancing.

The Artesian has thus far kept all its covid policies in place namely, mandatory vaccines (it had been so long since I’d gone anywhere that I’d almost forgotten how to use the app) and masks. This show was scheduled for January but got bumped out due to covid, which is how we wound up celebrating Winterruption mid-spring. I think I might be admitting that I haven’t paid enough attention to several people here. I vaguely remember this happening, but had no idea that TEKE::TEKE was the band at the heart of the issue. CRZ played them on his radio show, and Mika was disappointed at being scooped by him since she’d had them on her list of bands to request but he beat her to them.

There’s even a whole online database dedicated to documenting lyrical mondegreens.The description of TEKE::TEKE from the email announcing the folk festival‘s annual Winterruption concert series was intriguing enough to make me want to go see them, even though I’d never heard of them before.Įxcept I had. Other song lyric examples include Jimi Hendrix’s lyric from “Kiss the Sky” being misheard as “kiss this guy”. The resulting mondegreen, said Wikipedia, “ stuck as the title.Īlso, there’s another reason not to do drugs! While reading the Wikipedia page, we discovered the band’s drummer, Ron Bushy, misheard the lyrics while listening to the recording through headphones (drug use might indeed have helped this mishearing). This word came up this labor day weekend while talking about Iron Butterfly’s 60’s hit, “ In a Gadda Da Vida.” Why does that song have such a weird name? Is it some Hinduism term? Was it gibberish that came to the psychedelic band during a drug-infused jam session? What they heck does Gadda Da Vida mean?

See the full post, 3 Dialogue Terms You Probably Didn’t Know (but Should!). The word “mondegreen” comes from an essay by Sylvia Wright, in which she retells the story of her mother reading poems out loud to her from Percy’s Reliques, and she mishears “laid him on the green” as “Lady Mondegreen”.Ī mondegreen is a line that is misheard from poetry or song, or just a terrible sound system.
