Tony Scott - Tony Scott (Verve, 1968)
Just picked this up. Sounding great so far. Excellent classic jazz clarinet playing with some pretty wild arrangements. My man Richard Davis is all over this too.

some recent lissnin

Mark Fry Dreaming With Alice
HAzy slightly out of focus production on early 70s folk meets rock lp. Record
was recorded in Italy by fry, still a teenager with artistic ambitions and a
Scottish rock band. Not sure if they'd had much contact before the recording but
it does come out pretty well. HAs some nice long instrumental textures that
sound like sitar, also remind me of the Velvets in places. weight of the raga
rumble or something. Other tracks are a lot more ethereal, whoever's writing the
melodies is doing some very atmospheric, beautiful ones.
Fry has a new collaboration out now apparently.

Peter Hammill In Camera
Dark Solo lp by HAmmill joined by some of his VDGG fellows at times. I think the
solo stuff works pretty well, that is the couple of tracks where he is just
accommanied by his own acoustic guitar playing and the 3 Peel session tracks
with him alone at piano. Had wondered if I wanted to get the other nearly
completely solo lps & on this basis most probably.
Anyway the furrow that Hamill was working in the mid 70s does seem to have been
a very productive one whichever instrumental combination he was working in.
Do think I just prefer the fuller band stuff though.
So got Silent Corner on my wants list, also Chameleon, wondering about the later
stuff, already having Nadir & all the 70s VDG(G).

Ornette Coleman Complete Science Fiction sessions disc1
Great avanty jazz stuff from the early 70s by Ornette with various accompanists
including the reunited Atlantic era group. Gets quite psychedelic in places.
Think i'm particularly taken with Rock The Clock
because of the electric sounding bass, plus its the one where Ornette himself is
getting very out there with trumpet and violin.
This being the complete sessions the last 2 tracks on the cd are the first 2
from broken Shadows which wasn't released until a decade later but comes from
the same sessions.
Disc also starts with a pretty cosmic number with female vocals.
The only track i'd been familiar with prior to getting this was the title one
which turned up on a Kevin Martin complied 2cd in the mid 90s.
This seems to be a lot easier to get hold of from the States than this side of
the Atlantic.

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats Blood lust
Stoner rock concept lp about a Psycho. really enjoyable lp.
This was another thing I heard about through Optical Sound zine. I think their
own website is still selling copies of this on cd
http://www.svartrecords.com/shoppe/cds- ... le-acid-an\
d-the-deadbeats-blood-lust-cd.html
while Rise Above have sold out of a couple of vinyl pressings

feedtime live set from '86
Very good sound on this set, & band seems to be in fine form. 30 tracks
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=401779
australian heavy blues based dunt. yum yum.
seems to be a live set at an instore appearance.

Bebop Spoken Here Confirmation
one of the 4 discs from the Proper box, not sure which number but it has a green
cover. So is a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks from the height of the bebop
craze in the 40s. has bits of Dizzy Gillespie scatting which is always fun. Plus
Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Dodo Mamorosa, Anita O'Day etc etc
Really got into picking up Proper Box sets about 10 years ago. They put out some
really great stuff and are still doing so. 4 pretty full cds on an artist or
genre/sub-genre in reasonable sound where possible. The remastering has tended
to be pretty well done.

Jane's Addiction Ritual de lo Habitual
Their 3rd lp, upbeat offbeat rock from LA in the late 80s. I somehow didn't get
into their material until years after the fact despite having been at the ICA
show where their dry ice set off the fire alarms and the audience had to traipse
out into the winter cold of the Mall. Think the show itself was pretty
enjoyable.
Is there a deluxe remaster of this around? Might indulge if so.
Can't see a listing for a version of the cd post 1990 though, would think they
would have upgraded since then though.

Tully Sea of Joy
australian hippy folk band from turn of the 70s. I think this might be the
soundtrack for a film, it's interspersed with pretty atmospheric instrumentals.

as per usual, not remembering everything I've listened to over this week. Other
bits may come back to me later.

Plus hours of things cropping up at random through my walkman. SO loads of
Italian prog, zeuhl, jazz, country, rockabilly, blues, r'n'r, Gun Club, Cramps,
psychedelia, Sonic youth, folk etc etc.

Reading
Everybody Loves Our Town by Mark Yarm
oral history of Seattle and grunge. very interesting. Has made me want to check
out some stuff like U-Men, Cat Butt, SOundgarden and possibly Alice iN Chains &
relisten to Mudhoney, Screaming Trees and Tad.
Also wonder why there was so much space given to Candlebox and Courtney Love.

Retromania Simon reynolds
sort of enjoyiing this but have noticed a couple of places where I think he has
his facts wrong. Might make a marked effort to read a lot more of it today,
feeling a bit under the weather.

watching
bits and pieces of various things
Not Going Out
finding this pretty funny, not really been acquainted with it before. But one of
the cable channels is running a lot of it recently.

Man vs Food
again something I've not been acquainted with though I've heard the name. Kind
of fun.
Has me wondering about a few things like the timespace an episode is filmed
over. Continuity has it suggesting that things are happening on the same day per
episode but i can't see that Adam guy being able to undergo challenges without
at least a couple of days between, unless he has a rock iron gut, Even
undergoing a heat challenge on its own would tend to require a day of resting
your gut afterwards surely? On the couple I've seen he's doing a heat challenge
then later a size of portion to consume one.

Geronimo
Drag with this was a lack of subtitles for when they were speaking apache. Might
have something to do with it being shown on the Gaelic channel so they didn't
want to use english subtitles?
Seems an ok film otherwise.

Mallrats
was puzzled by the presence of Stan Lee in a film not based on a Marvel comic.
Otherwise,glad I've finally seen this & hoping I get to see Clerks next week.

Joe Panzner - Clearing, Polluted
Been listening to this as much as I can this week.
I loved Jesse's review of it and had to give it a go - glad I did - awesome experience.
How is this not sold out if only 150 copies were made?

Well, to be fair, I am down to the last 14 copies.

Which means that, finances permitting, there'll be a reprint of another 100. After all, I set the "if it sells out in less than a year, I clearly pressed too few" precedent with Anne Guthrie's solo; so I intend to stick to the policy here as well. But odds are there'll be some months gap in there that I can't fill orders.
