Hi guys, Anyone have a copy of the Charles Tyler album called "Folk & Mystery Songs" or something like that? I think it was on Nessa. Ronnie Boykins on bass. If anyone has it and wants to part with it or is willing to trade a cd-r or something let me know. Or even if you know the exact title and label info that would be great. thanks, Rob

Hey fellow Zorn-listers, Am curious to know, if anyone has an extra copy of John Zorn's "News For LuLu", they would be willing to sell to me? I can offer a fair price for the CD. Would really like to have this one for my Zorn Discography. Thanks. Rock on. Bruno _________________________________________________________________

Don't know if anyone has posted this but just in case... I've found this resource on the web with movies and audio wich has full shows. I haven't yet been able to listen to any of the stuff there (struggling to have the sound card working on Linux) but if anyone would be so kind of saying something about it (some of the movies are a treat): http://webdev.archive.org greets, R.Reis "Non Serviam" n.p.: Voxx (Lisbon 91.6 FM) n.r.: <- Send with Pine Linux/Unix/Win/Mac OS->

Tzadik CD / PBS documentary
by Ellery Eskelin 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

Anyone who enjoyed the Tzadik release "I Died Today - Music of Rodd Keith" may well enjoy an upcoming PBS film documentary on the subject of song-poems that touches on the work of my father, Rodd Keith. I'm interviewed in the film and many folks directly connected with the creation of song-poem music (lyricists and musicians) are featured. I think you'll enjoy it, it's very entertaining and casts some light on an almost completely unknown slice of American life. There will be an article on the film from The New York Times (Sunday Arts & Leisure, February 9th, by Jon Pareles), as well as Entertainment Weekly (February 7th) and various other publications. ***---***---***---***---*** Jamie Meltzer's Off The Charts: The Song-Poem Story to Premiere On ITVS's New Series Independent Lens On PBS Off-Beat Film Provides a Fascinating Window Into the Bizarre Demimonde of the Music Industry That Produces Amateur's "Songs" for Cash Off The Charts: The Song-Poem Story Will Air Nationally on Independent Lens on February 11, 2003. "This music has everything in the world going against it. It's completely artificial, it's a scam, it's ... you know, I could probably list fifteen different reasons why it shouldn't work. But, for some reason, something comes through all this stuff. And I think that's part of the charm and attractiveness that it has." --Ellery Eskelin, musician and son of song-poem auteur, Rodney Keith Eskelin Jamie Meltzer's debut feature, Off The Charts: The Song Poem Story is a fascinating, at times unsettling, documentary that exposes the strange underworld of the song-poem industry. In this little known subculture, "ordinary people" respond to come-on ads on the back pages of magazines ("Send in Your Lyrics and Make $50,000 in royalties!"), mailing in their heartfelt but often bizarre poems to "music industry" companies that, for a fee, turn those poems into real recordings. Through interviews with several song-poem writers, the jaded producers and musicians who set their words to music, and a few of the growing number of zealous song-poem connoisseurs, Off The Charts explores a truly unique, never-before-seen slice of Gothic Americana. Off The Charts debuts nationally on PBS on February 11, 2003 at 10:00 PM although airing at different dates and times in different cities.

Unofficial Wire Audio Companion update
by Vincent Kargatis 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

Hi all, I've been lax over the holidays and more, so the Unofficial Wire Audio Companion (not affiliated with The Wire) has been a few issues behind recently, but I've recently updated it, so music pointers from Nov 2002-Feb 2003 issues have been added, including some of January's Rewind 2002 (best of the year) entries. http://thewire.kargatron.net/ Please note that I'm in as much need of volunteer help as ever. Besides some welcome but scarce help, I compile most of the entries myself, so the site's not nearly as comprehensive as it could be, if more people chipped in - it will only grow as a community effort. Here're my suggestions for possible help, noted also at the site: There are a lot of records reviewed in The Wire each month, and one person cannot find all the audio links that are out there. So you can help make this a much better resource, in a variety of ways: "Adopt a label" - Choose a label or two (your favorites, whatever), and every issue, see if any releases from them are reviewed. Then check to see if the label offers any audio samples - if so, send in the info. This takes very little time, and if enough people did it, it would net a lot of links! "Adopt a month" - Choose a single issue from the year and search for as many links as possible from everything reviewed. This takes a number of hours, of course, but hey, it'd only be once a year! (And of course you'd get listed as compiler for that issue.) "Adopt a review section" - Choose a genre review section (Critical Beats, Jazz & Improv, Outer Limits, etc), and dig up anything from that section each month. Like the above, except a lot smaller scale, so not unreasonable, right? Supply your own - If you have web space and rip mp3s from CDs you own, you can host of few (to which the Companion will point) when reviewed in The Wire Keep an eye out - If you run across some audio links, and you know the releases were reviewed in The Wire, send in the info - one-offs are welcome. Dave Trussler has volunteered to adopt the Electronica review section - thanks Dave! And thanks to everyone who has passed on pointers for me to include. Additions, suggestions, comments, questions welcome. Feel free to forward this to interested parties, or tell me who I should send it to. -- Vincent Kargatis np: London Improvisers Orchestra - "Ellington 100" (Proceedings)

Max Neuhaus historic (and controversial) record reissued!!!
by Patrice L. Roussel 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Forced Exposure has the following record listed: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONY (JAPAN): NEUHAUS, MAX: Electronics and Percussion -- Five Realizations CD (SICC 79). Japanese-only reissue of this classic electronics & percussion album, originally issued by Columbia in 1968. First time on CD. Produced by David Behrman, recorded in Feb., 1968; includes a reproduction of the original Max Neuhaus liner notes. Featuring works by Brown, Stockhausen, Cage, Bussotti & Feldman, performed by Max Neuhaus. The pieces are: "Four Systems -- for Four Amplified Cymbals" (Earle Brown; 1954); "The King of Denmark" (Morton Feldman, 1964); "Coeur pour Batteur -- Positively Yes (Sylvano Bussotti, 1959); "No.9 Zyklus for One Percussionist (Karlheinz Stockhausen, 1959); "Fontana Mix -- Feed (John Cage, 1958). This would be considered one of the first "live electronic music" albums and the front cover photo of a bare-chested Neuhaus in front of this percussion kit is one of the unforgettable images of the avant-garde. Neuhaus is better known in recent times for his real-world Times Square sound installation. $29.00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know how the Feldman specialists rate his interpretation of "King of Denmark" but I have never been able to forget it and was still desesperatly looking for something approaching it (and failed). Patrice.
