Cosmology of Bad Music

In honor of the new Electronic Music Center, The Meandering Misanthropic Musicians proposed a new coffee table book with the intention of tackling the theory of music gone wrong. Current ideas for chapters include the following:

1. Giorgio Moroder

2. "Dude, this guy is the best guitar player ever."

3. Falco

4. Painfully Nostalgic/Dramatic Interpretations of the Canon 

5. "He's an amazing musician, he plays all the instruments in the band."

Please submit any suggestions, photographs or essays to your bunk house leader.

A generous donation from Ma Bells & Whistles, Inc. allowed us to refurbish The Koop Electronic Music Center, which has been in disrepair since the Casio Keyboard was released.  Early reviews by kampers have been extremely promising.  Late last night we held the inaugural "Don't Dilly Daley with the Delay Pedal" jam session.  A select group of kampers, who earlier in the evening correctly recited their circle of 5ths, performed improvised music of the ambient variety while RC Cola through Twizzler straws were enjoyed by all.  If there is enough interest in a late summer session focused on modular synths than we will hold a bake sale to raise money for the necessary equipment.  A warm thank you goes out to the kampers who recorded a 45 minute version of Taps onto reel to reel using only a jew harp and loop pedal.

Stalled

As suggested in a recent notice, we at kamp koop attempted to send the ninth variant of the science club's chemically propelled rocket to the planet Venus.  Although our attempt failed, the spirit was strong and the experience was sweetened with nearly seven minutes of radio contact with it in low earth orbit.  The rocket burned up somewhere  over Franz Josef Land; it did not make landfall.  The kampers that finalized the construction of the vessel are some of our "summer stragglers" who were simply looking for a project to occupy their time until the next session of kamp opens.  It appears they will be rewarded with a trip to the Large Hadron Collider (run by a former kamper) where we expect to see that chemicals are an inefficient and "old-fashioned" approach to storing/making energy.

End of Quarter Trips

As of yesterday, another quarter is complete.  There were two successful events this past weekend that marked the end:

1.  The kampers in the nautical program used their knowledge to complete a successful one night voyage aboard the flagship of the kamp koop armada.  

2. The kampers in the arts track headed to a nearby town to experience 20 th century music in two distinct and noteworthy settings.
