So as I mentioned in the pre-”Cloverfield” post, I suggested a song title for Matt the Electrician and Southpaw Jones: Dean’s List. And I was able to return to Flipnotics North to see the results on the following Thursday (January 24). Southpaw’s was a bit, um, well, but Matt’s was fun, and now you can enjoy it on youtube. Aren’t you lucky? It’s from a subsequent performance at Saxon, which I missed, but I’ve tracked it down for you. Just for you, for no one else, so please click through, ok? Once there, you can find some other performances by Matt and by Bob Schneider from January 28, during AJFF when I was seeing the documentary about Jewish comediennes.

It seems like it was a different set of musicians playing with Bob that night, but I’ve enjoyed the shows at Saxon a couple of Mondays in February. As I mentioned in another previous post, Oliver Steck is playing with Bob on Mondays now, and Danny Levin has also been on stage, doing an excellent job with the cello and fiddle. For $10 cover plus a few bucks for Matt’s folks (who don’t get a cut of the cover), Mondays are easily the best value for a night of fine musical entertainment. (Fun things to know and tell: You have to be 21 to get in, and there’s nothing to eat unless you have Papa John’s deliver.)

On the other hand, Thursdays at Flips North aren’t too shabby, either. It’s all ages with no cover, but you should always take that tip jar seriously, folks!
