Proof of God, or just stupid?
by Dan Frank Kuehn 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

For the last 10 years or so a small group of us fans of "Difficult Listening" here on Maui have been getting together most Friday nights and sharing our latest finds. About 4 years ago we discovered WFMU.org, more specifically the show called the Inflated Squirrel Carcass, which airs late late on the east coast -1am or so- but here conveniently at 9 or 10pm, depending on Daylight Savings... Anyways, our habit is now entrenched: at first it was having the web broadcast of WFMU playing while we listened to whatever new disc was brought that night AT THE SAME TIME, levels set about equal, so that, if both musics were unfamiliar, at times, and more often than not, the blend would work, miraculously. Now we don't listen any other way (on Friday nights at least). Sometimes it's with WFMU, but other times it's 2 CDs, or CD/tape or CD/musicvideo. Last week it was early Miles/Coltrane with the first two discs(1973) of the Miles Montreux set. Then it was DD's Freak In and Sun Ra's Solar/Myth. Of course it's sick and bad, but we're hooked. We can't stop, cause when it's good it's SO good. Hopefully the sin is its own penance, dan

watership down
by Matthew Garrington 19 Mar '03

I just watched Watership Down for the first time in decades. Ironically, the word "zorn" in bunnyspeak means something to the effect of death or destruction. Great cartoon flick, keep it away from your children. It turned a friend of mine vegetarian at the age of four. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

>the wild card on this particular tour is tenor sax player Tobias Delius, who has not previously toured with the band and could add a great deal of interest.< I can tell you having caught a couple of sets with Tobias Delius at The Empty Bottle in Chicago 2 years ago, He is one of the MOST exciting & innovative players I have EVER seen.

We need more names! but beyond that, and back to the technology debate, the whole story didn't stop with the xerox machine. i've started two 'zine-like publications in the past, more political than musical, one in chicago and one in brooklyn, both in the '90s. the xerox revolution was followed by the home computer revolution. desktop publishing made it possible to look more pro. sure, the taped-and-photocopied pages of punk zines fit with and helped to define the aesthetic they were covering, but they also were working with what they had. and while paper costs have gone up, much of the other costs associated with print publishing have gone down. so i wouldn't take glossiness, necessarily, as a mainstreaming factor. if you look around, there are punk zines now that are glossy and have nice (if often indecipherable) lay out. the next revolution in self-publishing was, of course, the internet. now no one knows what kind of paper you're on. i'd be remiss not to plug - <www.squidsear.com> cheers. kg np: wfmu.org _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

The arrangement of "November," which was originally a classical chamber music piece, is explicitly Bjork-influenced; Radiohead partially inspired "Wild Blue."

I can't really see how "Freak In" would be related to Radiohead's or Björk's mentioned albums at all. While I think that the compositions in "Freak In" could loosely work without the electronics element as a straight-ahead jazz album, imo "OK Computer" and specially "Vespertine" would lose a very high percentage of their appeal. These seem to trust much more in technology as an integrated element than "Freak In" does, and I have strong doubts about how those two albums could work in a more "physical" way, that is, performed by a standard guitar-bass-drums band, for instance.

Excellent point. This kind of thing does give you good perspective about the business and some respect for the people involved in it. I think this should be required for all scribes.
