And the Theremin Stylings of...
Jonnie Spaceman

               

	Clint Conley is exactly as good at tennis as he is in volleyball as he is a skiier, which is middling. He enjoys hiking the Whites and high-thread-count sheets, but never at the same time. He plays bass and sings for Mission of Burma and plays guitar and sings for consonant if it ever plays again, which hopefully will happen someday. As a fifth grader in Summit, NJ, he attended the Velvet Underground's first gig. He is a producer for the show, Chronicle, at WCVB. Clint is 52 and a half and lives with his wife and 2 girls and 2 dogs and 2 cats and a changeable number of rodent-like creatures in Concord.
	Elio DeLuca plays a variety of instruments in too many bands, among them Keys to the Streets of Fear, Hallelujah the Hills, Faces on Film, and the Tony the Bookie Orchestra. He is also a soundman at T.T. the Bear's in Cambridge, and co-owner/operator of the Soul Shop, an all-analog recording studio in Medford. He has promised to spin the full eight-minute version of Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" only once during the Bazaar. Maybe twice.
	DJ Generoso is celebrating his tenth anniversary at WMBR in Cambridge as a producer and host of the The Bovine Ska and Rocksteady, a radio show which focuses on the earliest recordings of Jamaica, 1955-1970. A documentary filmmaker, Generoso recently completed his first full-length documentary on Lynn Taitt, the Trinidad-born guitarist who came to Jamaica in 1962 and invented rocksteady, the precursor to reggae. The film premiered locally at the New England Film Festival and won two awards at the Hollywood Film Festival in July. Generoso is currently the head of events for MIT's Comparative Media Studies Department. He loves hugs and cows.
	Mark E Moon is/was 50% of the Neu!England Bass duo Plunge Into Death, is currently Big Digits' live DJ, and has a secret life as an indie rocker. About Mr. Moon, the Boston Phoenix has said: "With a specially modified Wii controller in one hand and a laptop's worth of fun in the other, he dials in phantom beats, top-40 hits, underground mixes, and god knows what else."
	Brad Searles is lifelong music geek, occasional drummer, and the proprietor of Bradley's Almanac, a Boston-based music blog (http://www.bradleysalmanac.com). The 7 year-old (and staunchly ad-free) website provides info on area shows, hosts live recordings and mp3s from touring and local bands, and currently welcomes a few thousand visitors a day.
	Stacie Slotnick started The Critique of Pure Reason, an independent music series, in 2002. Just a few of the good people who've played Critique shows are Beirut, The Arcade Fire, Devendra Banhart, John Vanderslice, Mission of Burma, Akron/Family, and Jandek. Stacie is very proud to be a part of the Bazaar Bizarre organizing committee and thanks you, fair reader, for attending.
	Jonnie Spaceman Holiday Thereminist Extraordinaire Words cannot describe the love and goodwill of the people for Jonnie Spaceman, a stalwart feature of the Boston Bazaar Bizarre. With his inimitable theremin stylings, Mr. Spaceman has redefined for the ages both "indie rock" and "Christmas Carol." Jon Bernhardt has been playing the theremin since 1997 in such bands as The Lothars, The Pee Wee Fist, and U.V. Protection. He performs as a solo artist under the moniker "Jonnie Spaceman." He has also been hosting the Friday morning "Breakfast of Champions" program on WMBR-FM since 1984.
	EmCees: Chris Braiotta and TD Sidell Chris and TD are funnier than you can ever hope to be on the best day of your life. Sorry, but it's true. If perhaps they're sometimes a little crass, they are nonetheless still, um, overwhelming in their charm. Yes indeed. If you are drinking something while they are talking you should be careful, because it will probably end up coming out of your nose, and you'll look silly. Also, if they notice, they'll mention it. Into the microphone. While pointing at you. From the stage. Just sayin'.
