walking around
by Kurt Gottschalk 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

hello all. here's a good'n'geeky game. i got an ipod for christmas, and with the stupidly huge memory decided i should pick some permanent selections for the device. the idea isn't to select the best records, or my favorites, or even to be representative, but just to select the things that will regularly make me happy walking the streets of manhattan (for example, erstwhile discs would make little sense since street noise would overpower them). i worked it to a list of 2 dozen just because that's how many lines were on the sheet of paper i was using. the beatles - rubber soul hoahio - ohayo! hoahio! optical*8 - bug otomo yoshihide - we insist! brian eno - another green world the rolling stones - some girls the clash - london calling sleepytime gorilla museum - grand opening and closing the slits - cut elvis costello - this year's model ornette coleman - dancing in your head prince - lovesexy stevie wonder - talking book guns'n'roses - appetite for destruction in order to survive - the peach orchard parliament - motor booty affair the residents - duck stab/buster & glen naked city - naked city pink floyd - relics henry threadgill - too much sugar for a dime the art ensemble of chicago - third decade johnny cash - live at fulsom prison charles mingus - mingus presents mingus sonic youth - evol as i type this, i realize i need to make room for cornelius. so, what are some other outdoor headphone picks? happy new year, y'all - kurt _________________________________________________________________ Worried about inbox overload?

I really like the Steve Beresford "Deadly Weapons" album. I like the atmosphere of it. It was released on vinyl, though I never found a vinyl copy to purchase. Several years ago I got an import CD version. Steve Beresford also provided the music for Derren Brown's "Mind Control" series of mentalism shows for UK television Channel 4, and I like that music as well.

squids ear 1st bday - gary lucas, ron anderson, anthony coleman (nyc show)

Ron Anderson, Anthony Coleman and Gary Lucas to perform at the 1st anniversary celebration of the avant garde music magazine The Squids Ear. January 29, 2004 8:00 pm Issue Project Room 619 East 6th Street New York, NY 10009 The Squids Ear music magazine celebrates its first anniversary on January 29 with special performances by three of the musicians who have written articles for it during its inaugural year. Veteran guitarist Gary Lucas, a former member of Captain Beefhearts Magic Band, pioneering downtown pianist Anthony Coleman and postpunk guitarist (now oudist) Ron Anderson will present solo sets at East Village gallery Issue Project Room to mark the birthday of the online publication. Guitarist, composer, arranger and manipulator Ron Anderson plays anything that can make a sound, including the recording studio. He has 42 recordings to his credit, including recent CDs with his group PAK and Jason Willett. Ron was a co-founder of the notorious noise rock group RAT AT RAT R in Philadelphia 1980, and in 1990 founded the bad-boy new music group The Molecules in Oakland, CA. He has also worked extensively with Tatsuya Yoshida and The Ruins, the French band Ulan Bator, and performed at the 2003 Victoriaville festival (in Quebec) with his group The Infusion. He has performed and recorded with James Chance, Marc Ribot, Elliott Sharp, the Sun City Girls, Shelley Hirsch, The Poool, Otomo Yoshihide, Seiichi Yamamoto, John Zorn, Donald Miller, Daniel Carter, Terrie Ex and many others. Gary Lucas got his reputation as a guitarist's guitarist during the five years he spent playing with his childhood hero, the avant-garde rock visionary Captain Beefheart. A graduate of Yale University, Lucas used to cut classes to sneak off to hear his hero play, and eventually recorded two albums ("Doc at the Radar Station" and "Ice Cream for Crow") with Beefheart and the Magic Band in the early 80's. In 1988, Lucas began a solo career with a show at the Knitting Factory, and was soon dubbed "guitarist of 1000 ideas" by the New York Times. Lucass talent and adaptability has led to his working with Leonard Bernstein, Lou Reed, Jeff Buckley, Nick Cave, John Cale, DJ Spooky, Captain Beefheart, John Zorn, Patti Smith, Future Sound of London, Joan Osborne, Matthew Sweet, Iggy Pop, Bryan Ferry, Sophie B. Hawkins, the Mekons, Allen Ginsberg, Dr. John, Graham Parker, Bob Weir, and many others. In addition, he is part of a reunion of The Magic Band (without the participation of Captain Beefheart) which debuted live in the UK last April, where Gary plus some of the original classic Beefheart Magic Band members triumphed before 4,000 cheering fans at Londons Shepards Bush Empire and at the UK All Tomorrows Parties Festival. He was just cited by the editors of DownBeat Magazine as one of their 66 Hot 6-Stringers alongside the likes of B.B King, John McLaughlin, Leo Kottke, Pat Metheny, Richard Thompson and others. Keyboardist and composer Anthony Coleman has been an invaluable asset in the downtown scene for over 20 years. His encyclopedic knowledge and his proficiency as a player has allowed him to contribute to numerous experiments in different genres, from leading the bands Self-Haters Orchestra and Sephardic Tinge, to work with John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, Dave Douglas, David Krakauer, Marc Ribot and others. His duo with Jazz Passengers saxophonist Roy Nathanson led to unique and charming recordings for Knitting Factory Works and Tzadik. Coleman has received commissions for his compositions from various ensembles including Bang On a Can, Concert Artists Guild, and The Crosstown Ensemble. His compositions can also be heard on harpist Carol Emanuel's Koch release, Tops of Trees, and Guy Klucevsek's accordian extravaganza, Manhattan Cascade, among others. The Squid's Ear <http://www.squidsear.com> was founded in 2003 to provide intelligent and insightful coverage of New York's thriving experimental and avant-garde music scene and to create links with other avant-garde music communities around the world. The magazine is an outgrowth of Squidco, a website initially developed in 1995 to spread information about unusual music and arts to the online music community. Squidco also operates an online music store at <http://www.squidco.com>. The Squid's Ear models itself after print magazines in that it has cover stories and features presented on a roughly quarterly basis. It distinguishes itself by updating weekly with reviews, live listings, comics and news. To date five issues of The Squid's Ear have been published, with articles about New York sound galleries, the Victoriaville Festival, Peter Kowald, psychogeography, Encyclopedia of Jazz, British guitarist and composer Fred Frith, the Amplify 2003 festival, The Vision Festival, and an exclusive issue covering John Zorn's 50th birthday celebration at Tonic. We also have featured exclusive article written by such distinguished artists and bands as Butch Morris, Marc Ribot, Eugene Chadbourne, Jon Rose, Ikue Mori, Anthony Coleman, Ron Anderson, Gary Lucas and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. . Among the musician-written columns that regularly appear in The Squids Ear is the Bottom Shelf feature, in which artists are asked to share the guilty pleasures from their record collections. Anderson, Coleman and Lucas all wrote Bottom Shelf features during the first year of the magazines publication.

Ron Aspery
by Richard Gardner 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

I was completely shocked by the Saturday UK Guardian obituary to Ron Aspery who died on December 10th. I had seen no news of his death. Back Door's first 2 albums are up there in my top ten. After many years silence they were back and kicking as a great live band. Now he's gone - it is a great loss.

Iv found a good number of full great quality zorn bootlegs on soulseek. One was live in chicago, it has some crowd noise but the sound makes it sound like theyre playing on some street corner somewhere in a busy city. i found some of eYe's dj material too on soulseek and the duo he did with that one year old and 2342342 boredoms other related projects so I would say stick with soulseek, just be patient. I know one guy had about 60 boredoms related files (no kidding) I spent about 2 weeks downloading solely form him and another guy once had 10 masada concerts and about 8 naked city concerts all neatly organized, complete and at a fast download rate >From: "Nicolas Sidoroff" <nicolas.sidoroff(a)online.fr> >To: "Zorn List" <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com> >CC: Mitch Tyo <dexteron0(a)hotmail.com> >Subject: bootlegs?!!? >Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 23:27:21 +0100 > >Hello ZornList! >Someone speak about bootlegs floating around the net...

Re: Moondog recommendations
by Michael Boock 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

>Any >recommendations for an introduction to Moondog? I can't recommend 'Sax Pax For a Sax' highly enough. Gorgeous melodies, cut after cut after cut. This would be among my desert island discs if I hadn't played it almost constantly the year it came out and finally tired of it a bit. In fact, I believe I purchased it based on a recommendation here on the Z-list, many years ago. I also dig everything else of his that I've heard, including Elpmas (more minimalist), the prestige recording from the 50's and the 1969 recording (also incredible). I think both of these are eponymous. Also, if you can find it, there's a great Love Child ep (with Alan Licht) of three or four Moondog covers, can't remember the title of that one either. --Mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Cuong Vu / Bobby Previte
by rjs 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

I heard Bobby Previte's Weather Clear: "Too Close to the Pole" for the first time this past weekend. I can't believe what I was missing - especially the second track "3 Minute Heels" I need to pick up more. I've liked Cuong Vu from my first exposure of him probably 3 years ago, but never really sought out his other projects. z __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

>>>On a related topic: my device (a Samsung) was making a short (0.5 >>>seconds) breaks between mo3 tunes. That was driving me mad, and was one of the reasons why I enentually sold the thing. was really surprised that all mp3cds I tried had the same drawback. Is it the same with iPod and other devices, is it somehow necessary (I can't believe it being so) there's an option in itunes where you can override it. seems to be a default, at least for the ipod. kg np: sex pistols _________________________________________________________________ Check your PC for viruses with the FREE McAfee online computer scan. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
