Greetings, In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine <http://www.furious.com/perfect>, you'll find among other things: OLIVIA BLOCK Enviro-sounds & field recordings: after working with several Austin collectives, Block made the move to Chicago to explore 'sound composition.' Andy Beta quizzed her about such important artistic imperatives as compositional methods and bat caves. DO MAKE SAY THINK Experimental drone stars: Can you wrap your head and your ears around a Toronto experimental, improvisational, psychedelic, instrumental group? Sure you can- we have faith in you and so does I. Khinder (enough so that he wrote an article about the group for you). HANNS EISLER Marxist polyglot composer: while peers like Brecht and Weill are known even in rock circles, Eisler is rarely given his due outside of enlightened groups of admirers. Luckily, Joy Calico is here to help straighten that out. INDIE MUSIC DOWNLOADS Warnings from Chris Cutler: many of us have enjoyed the fruits of Napster and other music file-sharing systems but what effect is this going to have on the independent music community? As a special feature in our LETTERS section, Holger Czukay responds to Malcolm Mooney about Can's origins, PJ Proby responds to an article about himself, Stan Ridgeway (Wall of Voodoo) toasts Howlin' Wolf, a murder mystery of a 13th Floor Elevator member is explored, news about guitarist Pete Cosey's new project and the Cobain/Gang of Four connection are revealed and communiques come to us from the U.S. Navy and Radio Khartoum. Plus the usual petty bickering... We're always looking for new material and good ideas for articles so please let us know if you have any to share.
