Re: Pete Cosey's Children of Agharta in NYC 6/21/02

Though Michael Henderson isn't with them anymore, I highly recommend checking this crew out. This is going to be their first show- the last show of the Cosey-era Miles band was in New York (Central Park) so he wanted things to come full circle back here. According to him, they're going to do some material from that era (mid-'70's) that's never come out and which he insists puts what did come out to shame. I find that a little hard to believe but I definitely want to see what they come up with.

I haven't even bothered! << I'm no hater or anything- "The cold vein" and Company Flow's "Little johnny from the hospital" are some of my favorite production jobs EVER. But "Fantastic Damage" is just noisy and out of control. >> Alluding to my previous comment-a majority of the raps are either distorted to the level of incomprehensibility or buried so far under the rest of the music that you'd *have* to read the lyrics to know what the hell El-P is so pissed about. About the only thing I've caught unaided is the 217 occurances of the word "fuck". "Noisy and out of control", I'll definitely agree with. It's the main reason I bought it in the first place. Consider it the _Spy vs. Spy_ of hiphop. Crazy crazy shit. -- =dg=

Sleepytime Gorilla Musuem
by Kasra George Ahmadi 29 May '02

29 May '02

Oakland based Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are on their final tour for their album which has caused nothing but wide-eyed grins for their audience members. If you haven't seen them before, please do. Their industrial brand of musicianship is absolutely outstanding. But I do believe this will be their final tour with this arrangement before stepping into the studio again. For a list of shows go to www.sleepytimegorillamuseum.com. kasra george ahmadi

FOR ADOLPH SAX reissued?
by Patrice L. Roussel 28 May '02

28 May '02

A friend told me that he saw FOR ADOPH SAX (first Peter Brotzmann record) reissued on Corbett's Unheard Music Series. Since neither DMG, Forced Exposure, or Verge have ever mentioned it, I was quite taken by surprise. Does anybody know when it was released? Thanks, Patrice.

El-P (or, the old rap/hiphop thread re-emerges its head again yet again)

Anyone picked up on El-P's _Fantastic Damage_ CD? If this isn't the most warped stuff I've heard in a while, then someone spiked my coffee with an unknown hydrochloride. I'm not much of a rap fan, but this stuff is absolutely insane... -- =dg=
