Emannuelle so...which two?

Soon after seeing it, one Sunday night Robert Fripp happened to be a guest on WPIX so I called in and asked him about this, and he confirmed this. HOWEVER: I never found out whether he took the case to court; if so, maybe the scene was taken out or the music was changed. This would explain why no other Frippsters or Crimsonites on this list have remarked on it. cheers, Emil S.

DUH: Emannuelle so...which two?

DUH: there have been so many digests of this list coming through lately that I indeed missed the King Crimson remarks. Sorry for the redundancy. In any case, when I spoke to him about it, Fripp still seemed plenty pissed off.

It's ALWAYS a drag when an artist has to release their own work and avoid having any of the money going to the owners of a record company. Maybe some day John Zorn will be big enough that he won't have to pay for his own recording sessions and release his music on his own label so he won't have to deal with the extra money he might make doing it the way he does now.

Alternative music in iTunes Music Store ??
by Rob Allaert 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

Zorn-agains, I'm crazy about iTunes, the best digital music program and I'm especially fond of the Music Store that's built in. While we're still waiting for more indie labels to jump aboard, I already found some interesting artist in there: Bill Frisell Dave Douglas Brad Shepik Trio - The Drip (bought it at once) John Zorn - Naked City I just wanted to ask the Zornlist to just keep us informed when other alternative albums become available in the iTunes Music Store. When you stumble onto something, then please share it with the list. Thanks, Rob, Belgium

J. Gross: "Favourite Scribings for 2003"
by Franz Fuchs 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

http://www.rockcritics.com/Favourite_Scribings_2003.html I haven't worked all the way through this huge list but I can provide some links for articles that Jason mentions: "Can hip-hop be saved?" (Boston Globe) is at http://www.azcentral.com/ent/music/articles/0425hiphop.html "Beat at their own game" (LA Times, about the "demise" of session drummers) can be found at http://makeashorterlink.com/?L59912DD6 (groups.yahoo.com/group/asianamericanartistry/message/2036) or http://timhwang.com/session-player.htm Despite some efforts I couldn't locate the LA Times' "Lend Them Your Ear--The Demise of the Record Store Clerk" (Another quite apocalyptic title - I hope our resident record store people aren't worried by it.) The ArtsJournal.com http://www.artsjournal.com/yesterdays/20030826-7442.shtml has this quotation: "Like their counterparts at book and video stores, record clerks shape our experience of culture as decidedly as any critic, curator or culture-industry executive. They're street-level tastemakers, part of a breed that's entered pop mythology. But despite these glamorous associations, serious clerks have become an endangered species. The Internet, with outfits like book and CD merchant Amazon and DVD service Netflix, is put- ting stores, which offer the joy of browsing, serendipity and human contact, out of business."

Apparently both Emmanuelle I, and II, contained sections of Larks Tongues in Aspic, performed by someone else. Since the film only used the 'musical work', my guess is that it was settled because Fripp was likely only entitled (legally) to a compulsory license anyway. ( Thanks for all of the suggestions on film noir titles. Especially helpful was the alternate title for 'gun crazy' - i've been looking for this one for ahwhile, haven't been able to find it under the original title, and I was also particularly interested in the japanese titles (I recently finished 'Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World' also previously suggested by someone on this list). I would have to add 'Elevator to the Gallows' as a favorite film noir piece (Miles Davis soundtrack). nathan Still formulating a best of music list. As of right now, I can only say that the one record receiving the most play this year for me was Magnoiia Electric Co. by Jason Molina, or Songs Ohia, or, as he is currently known - (Pyramid Electric Co). n.p. fred anderson - dark day in verona

Drive-By Truckers

Good to see someone mention the Drive Bys in their best of lists. They are friends of mine and incredible songwriters. Knowing them as I have for about 4 years, it's been a pleasure to see them develop into one of the most exciting rock bands existent right now. When they play the club I manage, I know they will deliver a memorable show. I've never been let down, and this is after I have seen them dozens of times. If you liked "Decoration Day", seek out the "Southern Rock Opera". Judging from the new songs they have been airing live lately, the next disc should be one to look out for also.

King Crimson & Emmanuelle
by Craig Lieske 20 Dec '03

A friend told me that a piece of a King Crimson song was illegally used in one of the Emmanuelle films. Does anybody here know anything about this?
