Keith Rowe, Erstlive 007

I like this recording a lot, but I can't remember for the life of me which classical piece Rowe uses in it. I remember reading about it here somewhere, but I've forgotten and can't find that conversation, now. The section at ~8:30 just started... love the effect he gets by combining the interference/static and the oddly phased radio. And now more classical. Beautiful!

I was introduced to Adriaansz's 'Waves' pieces a little while ago and adored them. Are these in a similar spectra?

some recent lissnin

Il Baletto di Bronzo Ys
totally 'kin intense Italian prog record which I've been hearing bits of intermittently for way too long on my walkman. Thought I better bung it on the 3 changer for once and immediately asked myself why I'd been neglecting it.
It don't half kick out the jams in its own keyboard heavy way. not sure what other pre-punk stuff hits with similar intensity outside of Detroit which it doesn't really resemble. But pretty essential record which I'd try to hear ifyou haven't already.

Irma Thomas Time is On My side
Kent label compi of New Orleans soulstress. The rolling Stones covered the title track early on though she apparently hated their version. Think it's on their 2nd lp. & I do think I prefer hers.
really like quite a bit of this compi. Not sure if this is the best way to get her stuff or the 2cd thing that came out last year in that series of New Orleans r'n'b/soul compis that included Allen Toussaint's Evrything I do Gonh Be Fonky. This is great anyway.
Did Traci Ullman have an '80s hit with her song Break-a-way? I know I've heard it done by someone else.

Royal Trux s/t
this is their 1st lp. not quite as out there as Twin Infinitives but sounding stoned and damaged veering between some great 60s/70s rock revisitation and them sounding too stoned to be coherent so getting overly repetitive. Not bad for €3 though.

God is my Co-pilot The Peel sessions
another €3 purchase, bought cos i'd been intrigued by comparisons to the band with another group called JOnestown who i got a live set by recently but could find out next to nothing about. Don't think the comparison is quite as clearcut on hearing this.
This is very erratic, veering into the avant and away from the English language quite a bit. Might be something I might explore a bit further though. I don't know.

Amanaz Africa
Zam rock, with weird production presumably because of limited budget. Fuzz guitar often sounds ghostly instead of thick and creamy. I'd heard some comparisons to stoner rock antecedents which I guess is there but the production gives it other elements.
There are a few places here that sound like the Velvets from s/t & Loaded. I assume that is totally a coincidence. Not sure if that band could have even been heard of by these Zambians.

Go Go Get down various artists disc 1
not heard the 2nd disc yet. But this does rerelease one of my alltime favourite tracks War On the Bullshit by Osiris. Some of this does sound a bit glossy which might have to do with it coming form the 80s.
Think what I really need is the grittiness of the live gig sound. This is pretty good though. Glad to see people are remembering the downtown DC sound.
Recent compi compiled by Joey Negro

Velvet Underground Caught Between The Twisted stars
Some long droning early live stuff from '66 and some more rhythmic later stuff. I've been very slowly reading Richie Unterberger's day by day guide recently which is interesting.

various other bits and pieces which will probably come back to me later.
The usual array of surprises from my walkman.

Reading
Umberto Eco the Prague Cemetery
tales of intrigue and anti-semitism from 19th century Europe

Judge Dredd epics
catching up on several stories I hadn't read at the time & revisiting ones I have. Currently reading Tale of the Deadman which I've noticed was preceded by an announcement at the end of the previous Dredd story which I didn't think it was supposed to be. Thought you were only supposed to work out who it was gradually. Not sure if there was an actual Dredd story running in the same comics at the same time.
Also read Cursed Earth & Oz and its preceding stories or at least the introduction of Chopper over several stories.

Watching
a bit of Nazi Robots at The Centre of the Earth
lovely grade z schlock on the Syfy channel. quite gorey. hadn't realised things like this were still being made but the tv guide had it listed as this year.
The nazis discovered Pelucidar or whatever it's called during teh 2nd world war. They need to get new scientists to help those who've survived continue to survive but several of the team who've been lead down there are not pure aryans. Syfy's been showing some really iffy material over the last few months.

The Amazing Spiderman in 3d
enjoyed this new version even with the lack of coloured characters ( except the baddy) and the gnarly machine.

jonestown isn't all that obscure. see their releases here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jonestown+%282%29 . i'm a little surprised to learn that tom greenwood of jackie-o motherfucker may have been a member.

i've only heard their split 7" with the dog faced hermans / honkies, and quite frankly i only listen to the dfh side. godco is a favorite, though, and the peel sessions also include marion from dfh. otherwise not really a top tier outing, but still good.
