How good are Electric Soft Parade?

Fantastic gig on Friday night...

I had my first ESP experience on Friday night at the Barfly, and it was FANTASTIC... Electric, Soft and Parade did a "secret" gig, first on at the Monarch under the name "Brotherhood of Fish", and their short set is surely shortlisted already for gig of the year...



They opened with a cover of Can't Get You Out Of My Head, then played their two big singles, then did a huge twenty minute wig out, incorporating bits of the Kylie cover again, along with everything great I've ever heard... TOP gig... They're on tour RIGHT SOON, do not miss them:

We are family!

Interesting genealogy story here on Yahoo, statisticians say we'd only have to go back 2000 years or so for all our family trees to interconnect

With the help of a statistician, a computer scientist and a supercomputer, Olson has calculated just how interconnected the human family tree is. You would have to go back in time only 2,000 to 5,000 years — and probably on the low side of that range — to find somebody who could count every person alive today as a descendant.

Furthermore, Olson and his colleagues have found that if you go back a little farther — about 5,000 to 7,000 years ago — everybody living today has exactly the same set of ancestors. In other words, every person who was alive at that time is either an ancestor to all 6 billion people living today, or their line died out and they have no remaining descendants.
