i recently had the pleasure to spend the afternoon with an ex-designer of rolling stone during the early 1980's to mid-1990's. i shared my distaste for the recent years and while she agreed, she explained that the magazine has recently switched hands again and is now being run by a former glamour magazine head. hence the content of fashion and looks over music. its quite unfortunate since i do remember being excited to receive rolling stone (i still do, but only since my folks continue to renew the subscription for me. if i had my way i would transfer that money towards some new design/art magazines and out there music mags) when i was younger. these days i flip the pages, read what catches my eye and unfortunately it rests right where it should... by the toilet. -darryl. <<<That's an interesting question.

My only beef with this is that Shakira does indeed rock. But you guys knew that. Steve Smith ssmith36(a)sprynet.com NP - Somei Satoh, 'Burning Meditation' - SEM/Kotik (Mutable) (... perhaps this piece would have been more appropriate for the CD-R thread?)

As my old profs used to point out, etymologically speaking "radical" connotes "rootedness" -- perhaps that's the meaning Zorny is aiming for? More importantly, how the hell can I get my hands on a copy of "Bagels and Bongos"??!!

And anyway, what's wrong with just "New Jewish"? It's not called the "Radical Japanese Culture"-series afterall. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Dave Douglas' interview tetchiness
by William Crump 05 Dec '02

05 Dec '02

I read Douglas' interruptions as "We may be working with a partial language barrier here. Please don't rephrase what I'm saying in order to understand it better, but rather, work harder to understand it AS I SAID IT." The irony of my trying to interpret what he said is not lost on me. William Crump > >>I don't find it easy to figure out what he means, >>basically. (Not only >>with >>respect to radical jewish culture). Plus some not >>overly kind moves >>towards >>Efrén and some boastful fits... an odd performance. > > Yeah, an odd performance to say the least. I really > didn't seem to understand him either, but in some > aspects we agreed. However, due to those interruptions > Douglas wouldn't let me get to the point where those > agreements showed up. A pity.

HELL, yeah. Did they have the common decency to actually publish this kick in the nads, or is it circulating by other means? There is no difference between Rolling Stone and People. How many years since it's actually been a music magazine? Wm.

Hi, >Where does culture end >and where do politics start? That's one of my first >questions. Secondly, why shouldn't I interpret the RJC >as some sort of nepotist and exclusivist attitude? >What do Selfhaters and Jenny Scheinmann really have in >common? Does Shrek have anything to do with Jewish >music at all besides using a Yiddish word? If you are >promoting some sort of cultural movement, aren't you >supposed to explain what the whole thing is about >without the need to promote some sort of manifesto? >And nobody really seems to want to answer to dozens of >questions that we've been making. I thought it was a >good opportunity to clarify some of them but I felt >that wasn't the way to go, at least with Douglas. As far as I remember, Anthony Coleman mentions in the "Sabbath In Paradise" documentary, that part of Jewish character is "asking questions without expecting answers". Perhaps the whole RJC has to be seen in that light.
