If we wake up on time, we’ll be catching a late-morning performance by Balkan folk guitarist Goran Ivanovic and finger-tapping fret man Andreas Kapsalis. After that, online editor Scott Morrow joins the decade with his first real experience with a PS3.Goran Ivanovic and Andreas Kapsalis @ The Morse
Balkan folk guitarist Goran Ivanovic and finger-tapping fret man Andreas Kapsalis are masters of their instruments, fusing worldly styles with classical, jazz, and experimental guitar.
Ivanovic leads Eastern Blok, a fiesty Balkan-jazz quartet; Kapsalis leads the Andreas Kapsalis Trio, creators of boundless pseudo-soundtrack work and one of the year’s best albums, Original Scores. For this late-morning performance, the two perform without their usual bandmates for a live radio broadcast.

Online editor Scott Morrow will join the latter part of this decade as he gets his first real experience with a Playstation 3 (not his, mind you). And though he’d much rather play a real guitar than the flimsy five-button variety from Rock Band / Guitar Hero, he’ll indulge his video-gaming party if it means the opportunity for some karaoke.
