Dave Douglas and WAR part 3, no less!!
by Arthur Gadney 12 Feb '03

Hi again, Isn't google just wonderful: "I got really angry during the war in Kosovo last spring, because I was traveling right near Yugoslavia when all that stuff went down, when we decided to start bombing them. I was reading articles in the paper every day about weapons makers and how their stock is going up and how great this war is for them, and then I would turn the page and see a million refugees. Ive always read about social activism and change, and Ive always been involved, but its always been separate from the music. Witness brings them together." http://www.allaboutjazz.com/iviews/ddouglas2000.htm Bye. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Hi again, Just had a peek at Dave Douglas homepage, and judging from his links, it seems a bit of wartalk would be pretty suitable on this list, perhaps. Have a look: http://www.davedouglas.com/links.html Included is a (unfurtunately dead) link to the wonderful Arundhati Roy. Her books are great!

Hi, Isn't there some Dave Douglas CD where he writes quite critically about the NATO bombing in Kosovo in 1999 in the cover notes? Which one is it? As far as I remember each track is dedicated to some person, often of "anti-war political" character, including some palestinian intellectual and so forth? Can't remember if the disc is any good, though... Ciao. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

It's published by Verso in the US and UK, in the same series as the Jean Baudrillard book 'The Spirit of Terrorism' that Matt Garrington recommended yesterday.

Re: ROVA etc./ Soulseek?
by serge dautricourt 12 Feb '03

Yeah, two truly fantastic shows. more highlights to add: Bruce Ackley and Larry Ochs did thing with sustained notes, its hard to descibe, but its as if they made their frequncies clash at certain intervals, giving the listener a strange 'buzz' in their ears. Also an extended exchange between Steve Adams and Otomo in which Otomo was scratching a free jazz record. But really everything was excellent, except i'm not sure what Ikue Mori had to add. . AND. . . i assume by now that soulseek is dead - its been offline for more that a week now. anybody know details? is there another file sharing program out there that is worthwhile? they seem to come and go so fast. . serge np: marion brown - why not? >From: sooooo spicy <idiotsalad(a)yahoo.com> >To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: ROVA w.
