nyc turntable question
by Kurt Gottschalk 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

i'm working on booking a really big shoe in november. everything's not set in stone, but it involves bringing a turntablist in from out of state who, as it happens, won't be travelling with turntables. i need help locating 2 or 3 durable turntables. what's a reasonable rental rate and place to go? better yet, if there's anyone who would be willing to loan turntables for the show, you'd receive much gratitude, more info on what i'm working on, get to go to the show, other nice stuff... thanks, kurt _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Hi. >there are many examples of exactly this. But it's usually when the >directory is trying to directly induce a period feel (THE PURPLE ROSE OF >CAIRO for instance). Yes, of course, but can you really think of another movie were they just lifted the theme from another movie, in this case made just a few years earlier? And I'm not talking about just ripping off, like with "Lord of the Rings" but actually reusing ;-) > Lets blame it on Hal Wilner. He seems able to destroy anything he gets his > > hands on. What a shame. > >Willner's pretty brilliant, in my opinion, and in the opinions of just >about >any musicians he's ever worked with. I always figured he must be a realyl nice guy, or something :-) I never heard his solo album, even though I heard it should be great, but his all star projects like the Harry Parch one, and even worse the Disney one always fell like a big waste of time to me.

Hello chaps, >Tim Berne's Clownfinger Q: This is one of Tim's groups I'm not familiar with. Who's in it? Q: Has anyone got 'The Sevens'? What do you think of it? Does it come in that flimsy packaging like 'Science Friction'? >According to the Screwgun website >Science Friction + Arte Quartet +Torn / UK /November 10-22 Q: Does anyone have any info about this?

AACMP books/Chicago Mov't
by nors5379 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

i was curious if anybody knew of any books dealing with the AACMP, namely with chicago musicians along the likes of art ensemble. most especially something dealing strongly on the social commentary of the time and the musicians reaction. interviews, testimonials... etc. i am in the pre-stages of putting together a mock touring historical show for part one of my senior graphic design project and was hoping to use this area as a main focus. any websites, books (especially), real photos (willing to give credit where credit is due. NO EXCHANGE OF MONEY WILL TAKE PLACE IN THIS PROJECT, except what ever it may cost me to get stuff printed that cant be printed here at school). any help would be gladly appreciated! -darryl norsen

Live Painkiller
by JSub＠aol.com 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Saw this listed on the upcoming/future releases section of Bentcrayons weekly list. Tower lists a 10/22 release date. PAINKILLER/LIVE IN NAGOYA: Talisman CD (TZADIK). "Bringing together three of the most voracious and energetic musical minds in new music, PainKiller was one of the most intense live bands ever. Here they are captured at their absolute peak. Culminating their legendary 1994 tour of Japan in a masterful set featuring one of their longest and most inspired improvisations, the thirty-five minute Batrachophrenoboocosmomachia. Beautifully recorded by the unsung fourth member of the group sound engineer Oz Frith and packaged in deliriously original artwork, Talisman is a long awaited new release by one of the most original and unique sax/bass/drum trios in musical history." I'm happy to see this, now I can hope that one day we'll get get an Archival Series release of Naked City live doing L'eng Che or the 00cd Zorn/Eye box, or..... Jeff

Uggh. Yes, I have to agree on Alice Coltrane. I picked up most of Alice Coltrane's reissues this past year, and my favorite thus far is Tranfiguration. Eternity is by far the worst. But I do agree that John's last group was greatly underrated. __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

Saalfelden
by Andrew Newcombe 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Well, I just got back from doing the tourist bit in Salzburg after the festival. Favourites were : -Billy Bang(Frank Lowe was OK for me!), -Louis Sclavis, -Mephista (Although I think it would have been just as good as a duo without Mori), -Amsterdam String Trio (with no amplification!), -Daniel Humair, -Misha Alperin(with excellent violincello and percusion support), -Roberto Juan Rodriguez, -De Johnette/Musa Suso (great drum/kora pieces). Kind of Disappointed with : -Tim Berne Clownfinger (Sounded a bit like bloodcount with different instrumentation - still good but I expected something different). -Jewels and Binoculars (Good, but these guys can be so much better). -The amount of electronics in use. Everyone seemed to be setting up loops and beats with powerbooks. Maybe I'm just old fashioned! Everything else was OK, with the exceptions of Martin Koller (sounded like a poor rock band), Trio Exclusive (made me think of Ricky Martin for some reason), Fast and bulbous (just not my kind of thing) and of course Sco' ! Hi Peter,Judy and Tim, very nice to have met you. I have a good picture of you all! I'll email you tomorrow. Off to bed now, I'm knackered! Andrew.

My review's in the queue (too long, needs approval) > From: "Andreas Dietz" <andreasdietz(a)hotmail.com> > Bugge Wesseltoft New Conceptions Of Jazz: groovy and danceable - highly > recommended Considering others liked this, guess I shouldn't've left. But it didn't start that promisingly to my ears, and I was dog-tired after the 12-hr travel time. :-/ > with an indisposed and uninspired Frank Lowe Yup. > Sussan Deyhim Madman Of God: not perfect but interesting for me to see > her for the first time As I note in my review, I despised this. > From: Peter Gannushkin <shkin(a)shkin.com> > PATRICK PULSINGER Can you describe this?
