not going to hunt down all the links, but i just noticed new stuff from kevin drumm (untitled LP), parmegiani, david behrman, etc.

It's crazy the amount of stuff Ubu Web has up now. Do the artists themselves offer to make material available or is a request made to them? Just curious. Obviously some are no longer living, and others had issues with their material being hosted (Tony Conrad, for example).

Oh, to be a kid and discover all this stuff and have my mind blown.

Here's a film I'd hear mentioned in terms of Minimalism and was always curious about:
Michael Snow - Wavelength

i still have never seen wavelength. trying to hold out for full-screen film. maybe/hopefully at my work this fall?

i think the policy with ubu is to basically post anything they are submitted that is reasonably hard to find (i poked around in their FAQ's a while ago, when i sent them stuff), that won't very clearly hurt the artist, etc. they will take stuff down if asked but don't seem in a big rush to police things. i assumed with contemporary people, either they or a label submitted, but maybe they were solicited. i get the sense kenny g proselytizes wherever he goes, so he could just be telling people he meets to submit.

Thanks for the info on Ubu, Jesse.

I actually haven't seen it in full. For something like that, streaming video on a computer seems far from ideal. I just watched a tiny bit - enough to get a feel for it.

Anthology Film Archives in NYC seems to show it semifrequently, that was where I saw it a while back.
