skeleton key/sleepytime gorilla museum
by Jorge Gallegos 17 Dec '02

17 Dec '02

Caught the Skeleton Key/Sleepytime Gorilla Museum show this weekend. Skeleton Key was a dissapointment. If you would take away the found metal banging you end up with what sounds to me as very conventional "alternative rock". Had to leave the room after a couple of songs. Meanwhile, Art Rock is alive and well with Sleepytime. There's a fine RIO slant on their music but with a more aggressive attack. Reminds me of the Art Bears or Thinking Plague with some Crimson power chords and a Bay Area sensibility (Caroliner, Thinking Fellers, etc.). Carla (from Tin Hat Trio) is phenomenal. She was flying on the violin from the opening song (blissful) on. Great stage presence, quite theatrical. Prog rock without the cheese. Their album doesn't completely do it for me. Most of it is great except for some moments that border on "rap metal" (the most horrible hybrid I can think of), but even these sounded good rearranged live. Their new material was superb and I was told that their next album will be out on Web of Mimicry, home of the astounding Secret Chiefs 3. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

cassettes!
by William York 17 Dec '02

17 Dec '02

HI all, I know it's not the most popular format these days, but since Amoeba charges semi-collectible prices for some cassettes these days, I figure somewhere there is a "market" for hard-to-find ones -- although these are basically free to a good home. I've got plenty of mailers and the post can't be too much. If you want to send me a CD-R (non copyrighted material, of course...) or something else cheap in return, that's fine, too. SST completists (ha) take note! Elliott Sharp--Tessalation Row (SST) [w/ Soldier String Quartet] Henry Kaiser-Those Who Know History Are Doomed To Repeat It (SST) [w/ Joey Baron, Hank Roberts, Kermit Driscoll, Glenn Phillips] Cruel Frederick - We Are the Music We Play (SST) [LA free/punk jazz from late 80s/early 90s] Also...... Steve Coleman and Five Elements-Rhythm People: The Resurrection Of Creative Black Civilization (RCA/Novus) [w/ Robin Eubanks, David Gilmore, Reggie Washington, Dave Holland, Cassandra Wilson, etc.] Amorphis - Elegy (Relapse) [popular Finnish prog/post-death-metal band] Please respond ASAP b/c I go out of town Thursday and have to put a bunch of stuff in storage for a couple of weeks. Thanks, WY

best of...

I think just about every new record that's flipped my lid has been already mentioned in various lists, so I won't bore everyone with the repetition. one film that hasn't come up is 'Cremaster 3'. Did anyone here see that? incredible flick. I've seen none of the other cremaster series, but if they're half as dense as this one, I really hope I have a chance to scope 'em out. fine shows I've seen include: Brotzmann Tentet -Frank Gratkowski solo -us maple (they've still got it) -Dalek (non-vocal set in chapel hill) -Gunda Gottschalk solo and w/Ian Davis & Jason Bivins -Lovens/Lytton/Vandermark -Chris Cutler solo -Spatula reunion -a basement show with these Raleigh guys Nick and Dante on screaming amplified bari sax and drums. and smashing TV set with hammer. ---mortecaw obb _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

London / Amsterdam

Seasons Greetings - I am traveling to London and Amsterdam for the Holidays 12/20 - 1/3 and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for record stores and live music venues or shows from this list. Thanks, Toby TAX - I will dub a copy of a rare and beautiful Pigpen (Horvitz, Krauss etc..) soundboard from Berlin in 1994 for the most helpful response.

Some of the archaic keyboards sound a little cheezy, but most of the time this doesn't draw untoward attention to itself. Nice rhythm section, too (Greg Cohen and Kenny Wollesen).
