(NZC) consulting the oracle on reggae...
by William W. Schonbein 28 Sep '02

28 Sep '02

hello great zornlist oracle! i've been enjoying soul jazz record's compilation discs 'Studio One Roots' and 'Studio One Soul' (as well as their Jackie Mittoo release). rumour has it that the Trojan Records compilations are also quite nice (released by Sancturary Records), but the array of choices is bewildering. For example, just what is the difference between 'club reggae' and 'mod reggae'? For that matter, what is the difference between 'ska' and 'rocksteady'?). If anyone has any reccomendations on which Trojan comp to pick up, they would be much appreciated! Respond off-list, since this is a far cry from anything zorn related... On a more zorn-related front, i have a couple of zorn shows (amongst other things) available for blanks & postage; the list is posted on my website, reachable from: http://artsci.wustl.edu/~wwschonb/trades.html thanks, whit np - Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures, vol 3. (All 3 volumes are highly recommended - absolutely wonderful). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Whit Schonbein Department of Philosophy Philosophy - Neuroscience - Psychology Program Washington University St. Louis, Missouri, USA wwschonb(a)artsci.wustl.edu http://artsci.wustl.edu/~wwschonb/ *** contact me for mailing address *** ----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jewels & Binoculars"
by Andrew Stiffler 26 Sep '02

26 Sep '02

I had the chance to catch Michael Moore last night supporting his album "Jewels and Binoculars" the music of Bob Dylan. With Michael Vatcher on drums and Lindsey Horner on bass. These guys play well together, all top notch players! I thought Vatcher was outstanding in person. I spoke to him about Spy vs. Spy, and he had better things to say than Tim Berne. M. Moore said the ICP Orchestra would be touring the States soon, but I suggest you catch this band if you get a chance. I think available Jelly and the Clusone 3 are still my favorites, but "Jewels" is well worth a listen. It has actually hit "mainstream" jazz radio here in Rochester.

Songlines magazine

Is Songlines magazine still distributed in the US? I haven't seen a copy in almost a year and thought it had stopped publishing but checked and there's a website which indicates it's still going strong. ----------------------------- "It's people like us who took a mass medium and made it what it is today--a subculture."

Re: John Cage Silence Plagiarism Case Settled
by Crowmeat Bob 25 Sep '02

>John Cage Silence Plagiarism Case Settled If anything calls into question the basic assumptions of 'intellectual property', this does. I doubt Cage would've been too vehement about ownership. It seems that part of his schtick at that point was deflecting culpability from the body of the composer. But I guess he didn't see that information was too valuable a component of matter for the profiteers not to want their cut, so once he informed recorded silence with a specific meaning (or at least parameters for interpretation) it became a commodity. With Zorn's game pieces there seems to be a movement away from compositional identity, yet Cobra, as the culmination of this approach, paradoxically retains a certain formal or structural cohesion that marks it, regardless of the personalities involved. It's like a gravitational coherence of characteristics, defined more through modes of differentiation than through specific enunciation. just thought I'd spill some ideas. bob >From: Brian Hickey <brianh(a)emagine-media.com> >To: <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: John Cage Silence Plagiarism Case Settled >Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 09:04:22 +0100 > >John Cage Silence Plagiarism Case Settled > >http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20020923/music_nm/music_ca >ge_dc > > >_______________________________________________ >zorn-list mailing list >zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com >To UNSUBSCRIBE or Change Your Subscription Options, go to the webpage below >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zorn-list _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Mike Batt is a tosser. Always was and always will be. And a Tory tosser at that. But he got what he wanted, and that's publicity for his new record. And in the process has reinforced the public's misunderstandings about Cage and "silence". Thanks, Mike.
