there is no sound

Lonely London Lad - Buffalo Jump

A new music obsession, band Lonely London Lad is the creation of Robert Savage and Johnny rK, with Gabriele Berneri, Nico Bentley, and Billy Fuller. Best defined as experimental music, they are unlike much else I have heard, or seen for that matter. Their first album is in the process of being released, but the wait is filled with plenty of songs and videos - they have over 50 songs recorded this past year, and 45 videos as well! The videos are the type of thing I would expect to see projected on one of the walls at the DAM, along with the music of course. So artsy, so tasty.

And don't I love learning new things each day? My favorite song, Buffalo Jump, got me on a wikipedia frenzy. A buffalo jump is the name for a cliff that buffalo would be herded off of. The fall would either kill them or render them immobile, so that hunters below could finish them off easily.

The repeated line "in the desert there is no sound," on top of a very elusive westernesque sound makes me wonder: If a buffalo herd falls in the desert with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? I think LLL makes their opinion pretty clear.
