David, good to see you picked the locks on the Dungeon of Lurkers. Two questions on the gig -- 1) Boredoms: Instrumental only, or did Eye do some hollerin'? 2) Cale: Solo or with a band? Quack, William NP -- currently having my mind blown by disc 2 of the Burt Bacharach box. Arthur Gadney asked about Boredoms gigs in Europe. (snip) My first time seeing Eye and cohorts. Got the idea it was going to be a variation on a PSF psych-fest and was blown away with the 3 drummers in a circle with our man bouncing around freaking out on a sampler(?).

Boredoms
by David John Howarth 15 Jul '02

Hi Arthur Gadney asked about Boredoms gigs in Europe. I'm hardly the best person to answer, but... My first time seeing Eye and cohorts. Got the idea it was going to be a variation on a PSF psych-fest and was blown away with the 3 drummers in a circle with our man bouncing around freaking out on a sampler(?). There was nothing amazing by way of extended technique or the like, just going for a groove and being incredibly tight and much interaction as sections broke down and rebuilt amongst the players (sorry no names). I must admit that I probably had a teensy bit too much to drink and I couldn't get my head around the anti-climax that was John Cale's first 4 songs in the second half of the concert. Nothing against the man, but he was added to the show late (no mention on my ticket, but he was there in the ads in the last Wire). I think it would have been better for him to open the evening, unless some idiot thought that Boredoms were a novelty act and we needed a real musician of gravitas afterwards? Random thoughts and I left well before the end of his set, y'see I had Kiss Alive II on the minidisc and an appointment with the devil... Hoping this gets through for a change, yr lurking pal David Howarth

New Publisher?
by Michael Norris 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

(Apologies if this is a FAQ) I was told a month or so ago that John Zorn was going to stop using Carl Fischer LLC as his main publisher of scores/parts. I was told this was going to happen about July. Can anyone confirm that this has happened, and, if so, tell me who his new publisher is? Many thanks Michael Norris Artistic Director, Stroma c/o Music Dept University of Otago PO Box 56 Dunedin NEW ZEALAND http://stroma.wellington.net.nz

I was lucky enough to get this fantastic LP many years ago on a flee market. Highly recommended. Get Back has recently issued another Cherry 2LP set: Blue Lake (BYG 1971). It has Dyani and Temiz (not Tamiz) too and IÂ´ll order it soon...

RE: The Believer

Hello. > ....yr points on Zorn , for me at least, are right on target. For a >large percentage of the time, he seems more interested in letting his >music/projects do the talking. Certainly cool. Well, yes and no. The man seems to have an unlimited energy in promoting Radical Jewish Culture and has been doing so for around a decade, but as far as I know, he has not a single time explained what he actually mean by that expression. Still seems somewhat odd too me, since it means he can be absolutely sure that at least a large amount of people will misunderstand him or at least not get the point.

The Believer
by Arthur Gadney 14 Jul '02

14 Jul '02

Hi, Talking about Radical Jewish Culture and jewish identity, did anybody watch "The Believer"? I saw it recently, and found it excellent. Very intellegent and thought provocation. However, also extremely complex and difficult, and several points I didn't quite get, to be honest. I wonder what Zorn would think about that film. It's sad that there is so few places where we can find out more about Zorn's idead on the whole "RJC" thing. And strange, in a way, I always concidered Zorn to be somewhat of an intellectual but he doesn't seem to like talking and hearing his own voice so much, which is quite unlike most intellectuals I know of. Cheers. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

[OT] Sonic Youth with Dutch improvisors
by Arthur Gadney 14 Jul '02

14 Jul '02

Hi! Does anybody know what happened to the "In The Fishtank" with Sonic Youth and a number of Dutch musicians, like Ab Baars, Han Bennink and more? I think it is supposed to have been organised by a couple of members of The Ex, and I read about it in The Wire several months ago. It also appeared on a few "upcomming releases" lists, but now it seems to have dissapeared.... Anybody know? Anything? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
