<< i know schlippenbach is in for the west coast dates but i dont know about east coast >> I saw at the European Free Jazz website that the Evan Parker Trio was playing 3 nights in San Diego, May 11-13. Can anyone confirm this? Is this part of a festival or something? The Spruce St. Forum site has no info. Another great band bypassing the Bay Area. First no ICP, now this. Gotta see Schlippenbach though.Cheers, John Threadgould

Simplicity
by Zach Steiner 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

I saw the noble laureate Roald Hoffman speak on a variety of topics from chemistry (his main field) to poetry (he's also published poet) to philosophy and psychology. One statement he made that didn't sit well with me was regarding the innate human desire for simplicity. He contended that humans aesthetically desire, seek out, and try to create simplicity in all things. That simplicity is an overarching principal of organization in our cognitive system, thus our perception. He used a simple melody or a simple molecule as examples of things that, he claims, resonate with all people favorably. That confused me, as I often look for complexity and challenges--particularly in artistic, aesthetic concerns. So my question to everyone is: Do some people actually buck this trend, which I do see in a great many people, or is there actually some underlying need for simplicity at work for those that seek complex or chaotic aesthetics.

Music links
by Peter Gannushkin 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Hello All, I am working on a new version of my site (http://downtownmusic.net/) One of the sections I want to start there is "Music links". Each of us has a bunch of places to visit every now and then: on-line magazines, label and musician sites, stores, etc. My idea is to make a list based on our preferences in music. So if you are interested, please, send your links with descriptions. -- Best regards, Peter Gannushkin URL: http://www.downtownmusic.net/

According to the European Free Improv site, he's not touring with the Evan Parker Trio this spring,but is being replaced by Alex von Schippenbach. There wsa no mention there, however, if he would still be coming to Victo maybe, since he is also on for another show.

I preordered Pakistani Pomade from Atavistc, and it came last Thursday. I've only had the chance to listen to it once so far, but it was everything I'd hoped for. Spectacular. One of the promo sheets they included in the package mentions the Globe Unity Live at Hamburg '74 as being in the queue for the UMS/FMP Archive series, so I'm hoping that more of the Schlippenbach 3 (or 4) records also show up eventually. I think I'm even going to stop bidding stupidly high numbers on Ebay just in case! As for the LJCO record on SAJ, it is called Stringer. I'd rank it as my least favorite all of their records. Can't really say why, but it just hasn't blown me away like all the other ones did.

some more

some more things from my fellow dj at kdvs... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2003 10:05:21 -0700 From: brian faulkner <bcfaulkner(a)ucdavis.edu> To: Chad Stockdale <chads(a)statenet.com> Subject: Re: okay You mean in general? Like the whole big wide world of possible re-issues? Let me ponder that one and get back to you on that. Things that pop right into mind are _The Truth is Marching In_ by Bloodloss (Aussie stuff, up there with Fungus Brains/Venom P easily), early Radiopuhelimet LPs (raging Finnish rock band, I'll bet Rick would concur on that), the first Starfuckers LP, Smegma's _Pigs For Lepers_ LP, the Ju Suk Reet Meat LP (it's possible that there are plans to reissue the last two of these already). I am sure that if I think about it for a few more minutes I will come up with a huge list. Second White Heaven LP. Uh, ok I need to stop.
