>first as a point-of-purchase (read: record >store) kiosk system, like a photo booth where >you'd buy custom burned CDs with high quality >color artwork, and then more recently as The book industry has also been experimenting with this. There have been trial runs in individual stores that I don't think were too successful (demand too low for the cost) but many publishers, especially on the more academic end, have custom publishing systems set up internally. The quality is passable and I suspect most customers might not notice but any book person can recognize these immediately. The idea of keeping more titles in print without the expense of huge inventories is attractive.

> ...in the spirit of the current thread, what would folks like to see > make it to DVD? Here's some of mine.... > "Contempt", "One Plus One", "Band of Outsiders", + early shorts (J L Godard) And the strange thing is that, as far as I know, the Godard movies are not even released on DVD in France... I'd add to this "Une femme est une femme" and "Le weekend". > "Solaris" & "Stalker" (Tarkovsky) These are available from Ruscico, and at least their edition of "Solaris" is definitive. There's much debate over their release of "Stalker", because they decided to change the soundtrack. Here's the DVDs I would like to see: "El Topo", "The Holy Mountain" (Alejandro Jodorowsky) "Viva la muerte" (Fernando Arrabal) "The Horrible Dr. Hichcock", "The Ghost" (Riccardo Freda) "The Long Hair of Death" (Antonio Margheriti) "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" (Dario Argento) "Dracula contra Frankenstein", "La comtesse perverse", "Maldicion de Frankenstein", "Two Female Spies With Flowered Panties", etc. (all Jess Franco, even though there will be no shortage of Jess Franco DVDs once Bill Lustig's Blue Underground label gets started...) "La vampire nue", "La rose de fer", "Les trottoirs de Bangkok", "Les echappees" (Jean Rollin; I think "Les trottoirs..." might actually be released this year) "Kill Baby Kill" (Mario Bava, but this is finally going to happen in the fall) "Diabolik" (Mario Bava) "The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave" (Emilio Miraglia) "The Black Belly of the Tarantula" (Paolo Cavara) "Le moine" aka "The Monk" (Ado Kyrou) "Brides of Blood" aka "The Island of Living Horror" (Eddie Romero/Gerardo de Leon) "F for Fake", "Chimes at Midnight" (Orson Welles) "Black Candles" (Jose Larraz) any Alain Robbe-Grillet movie... At a positive note, it seems that Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures" will be released on DVD in 2003. And, even with a list like the one above, I should not be complaining, because this really is the Golden Age for DVD releases.

Sonic Youth news
by Phil Plencner 06 Jun '02

Interesting news today from Pitchforkmedia.com: Sonic Youth Practice What They Preach Masonic youth recruited at early age, groomed to be presidents, Fork staffers Will Bryant reports: Sonic Youth will be webcasting a live rehearsal on their Echocam this Sunday, June 9th, featuring both new songs from the forthcoming Murray Street and older songs the band is working up for its massive summer tour. Band practice starts at 4 p.m. EST-- bring your 3-D glasses and your Hearos. Pizza party with the Yoof! You can also download an MP3 of Murray Street opener "The Empty Page" from their website, which will give you a pretty good indication of what the album's all about, even if "Disconnection Notice" and Renaldo's "Karen Revisited" are the sheeeeott. Sonic Youth are also set to roll out the first of three expanded two-disc reissues of classic albums this September with Dirty. The tracklist is still a big friggin' secret, but we're told you can expect better than the usual hodgepodge of b-sides, outtakes, demos, and live material most bonus discs chunk at you, with the band personally combing the archives and selecting the material. As previously reported, Daydream Nation and Goo have also been tapped for expansion down the line. Last-- but so not least-- Interscope will be giving Pitchfork readers a nifty little bonus on this month's MP3 sampler. The Murray Street outtake "Coca Neon Kamera Sutra" will be available for download just as soon as we get the green light.

Reissues
by selvig＠sonic.net 06 Jun '02

Mingus' "East Coasting" has been reissued a couple of times, including a recent LP by Get Back. Now that I'm thinking about Gang of Four, I think a good reissue would be a double disc w/ the Fast single, the first two LPs, the Yellow Ep, and the Peel Sessions EP. Maybe if we all pester Rhino Handmade enough... I'd like to see: Alan Silva "Luna Surface" LP - absolutely tornadic large-ensemble freakout w/ most of the AACM. I imagine Get Back will get around to this eventually, which still leaves the digiphiles in the lurch. The Ornette stuff on Impulse (any idea why this has not happened?) John Coltrane "Cosmic Music" (same question) Cecil Taylor "Spring of Two Blue Js" Borbetomagus "Barbed Wire Maggots"

HI, Steve Smith wrote: Steve Smith ssmith36(a)sprynet.com (who still thinks 'Evol' is the greatest, though I know history didn't end there...) I think that "Evol" meant the real definition of Sonic Youth's sound and it actually made them look as one of the most promising and personal bands at that time. However, as you say, it's obvious that they've improved and that they confirmed those early promises, although many people seem to have forgotten about them since "Washing Machine", which I assume is their most successful album commercially speaking (not among the fans, that's for sure). A pity for those who have lost touch with SY. They keep on releasing enormous albums.

It's kind of similar to the music Frisell created for the Naked Lunch 3 cd set, but more mellow.

>I'd thought that 'Hard' eventually made the >transfer on Infinite Zero as well. I bought all the GOF CDs when they appeared and am pretty sure this didn't come out on disc, at least in the US and almost certainly not on Infinite Zero. However, I keep discovering things that slipped out I didn't know about. By the way, Wounded Bird has Gang of Four listed in their "Coming Soon" section but no further info. Possibly the only time GOF will be in the company of Timothy B. Schmit, Rosemary Clooney, Richie Furay and Brian Auger.
