Subject: Best of Y2K (typically long-winded)
Well, despite the ridiculous length of this list, like last year, I'm
still mostly reminded of how little I've managed to hear this year. On
the pop side, I've still not heard the latest from Yo La Tengo,
Bragg/Wilco and Radiohead (though in the latter case I've mainly been
appalled by the high prices I've seen everywhere so far). On the metal
side it was a mighty lean year for me - the new Napalm Death didn't make
it over here yet and I've not found anything that really sets me off
otherwise (God knows I tried to hear why so many raved so much about
Deftones - to me it was okay, but pretty slight). Drum'n'bass was off
my radar altogether this year. And even my perennial triumvirate of
King Crimson, Derek Bailey and Cecil Taylor are represented by a single
new release apiece (though Crim also shows up a few times in the
"archival" category thanks to the Collectors Club).
Added to that, there are plenty of things I've got sitting around here
that I still haven't had the time to dig into, thanks to my momentary
stretch as a Jazziz editor, during which time I had to spend a lot of
time listening to stuff I probably would have ignored and much of which
I SHOULD have ignored. Several of these mighta been contenders for
inclusion on this list: Oscar Noriega's'Luciano's Dream,' Andy Laster's
'Soft Shell,' Grandaddy's 'The Sophtware Slump,' Kip Hanrahan's new second
Deep Rhumba release, much of the latest batch of "Unheard Music," and
on and on...
On the other hand, Jon Abbey has done me a GREAT service in introducing
me to the world of electro-improv on Erstwhile and elsewhere, Jon Morgan
(not on this list, sadly) has presented some of the year's best acoustic
improv on Meniscus, and I've had a nice time digging a bit into Latin
alterna-pop. And Zorn himself got no less than four nods from me this
year... first time that's happened in a little while.
Thus prefaced, here's the pretty damned long list of things that made me
go "uhh" this year:

Subject: this marinade invokes a trembling cartoon
Zorn-agains,
1) I can't imagine that there isn't a spontaneous appearance of reviews for
Dresser's Marinade or London's Invocations. I ordered already, but still
would like to know more. Anyone bought Gidon Kremer's Silencio?
2) It looks like there are known Masada tunes on the Trembling-disc. am I
right?
3) Is the Cartoon/SM of any interest since all the compositions are well
known and aptly performed in the past. How's the clarinet Kol Nidre?
Greetings,

Did anyone record this broadcast? I heard it was really amazing.

hey,
i'm very frusterated. i'm getting a PC laptop soon... no matter what.
(yeah, college student's mommy is buying it for him) i think i know
generally what i want except that i would like to start getting serious
about electronic music.
i've played with many different programs including PROtools and related
software, which a friend of mine says is the essential foundation for PC
music makers. i don't know if he's actually right about this or not.
i've looked around for info, i don't know where to go... so this is one
of my last resorts. could someone tell me what is my best bet in software
hardware blah blah blah... in order to keep my options open? i know this is
probably a hard question to answer. otherwise someone could tell me where
to go for information. respond in private unless it's relevant to zorn-list
needs. thanks.

<< eugene chadbourne recommendations >>
my eugene chadbourne recommendation is to catch him live,
which has been better each time than any of his 40 or more discs,
Lps, or cassettes i own. i love him, but im suffering from overload.
nonetheless a plug for a new hard to find pair of 10" where he covers pop=20
tunes.
but with brilliance and insight rather than irony.=20
i play it plenty much.
i got mine at downtown music gallery.
Eugene Chadbourne. Young And Innocent Days. (Swamp Room 301135 (NE),
2x10=94 clear vinyl with color splotches, untimed.) =20
when you catch eugene live, he'll have a stock of stuff to sell, his=20
cxommercial and
his own label cd-rs, and one of a kind packages of casettes with nifty=20
weirdness in em.
if the commercial discs, i like 'string' and 'songs, 2 sep discs on intakt.
they all blur together in my mind, tho, and usually enjoy his instrumental=20
work
more than his 'tribute' to other songwriters work. then, of course, his=20
covers of
country songs are brilliantly done and not ragged. if you can, go to eat ou=

with him
and talk, esp indian food. guaranteed intelligent and varied conversation.

Subject: Carla Bley Recommendations?
Hi there!
I recently purchased a couple of Carla Bley's CD's:
"Big Band Theory" and "Fleur Carnivore". Although I
found both excellent I was looking for something more
similar to her (in my opinion) masterpiece "Musique
Mecanique". I've read somewhere that "I hate to Sing"
has also that cabaret/Kurt Weill/Nino Rota spirit.
Can anybody recommend something in that vein?
Thank you and enjoy a healthy New Year!

no recordings have been released of this trio. although Zorn was front and
