Amen, and be loose with it; "recent"
listening/viewing/reading is fine as wine. I love
getting hipped to new sounds, or shit I can't believe

Pardon my pedantry, but the Oswald piece is "Spectre," not "Spectrum." I only
mention it because it's one of my favorite recordings ever. The string quartet
version of Willie Dixon's "Spoonful" is pretty darn avant, too.

i recently viewed an entertaining compilation of clips taken from a NYC
public access show called THE SCOTT AND GARY SHOW.
obviously early eighties:
Shockabilly, post pubescent punk Beastie Boys,
and a lengthy performance/interview with the Butthole Surfers.
anyone on this list an afficianado of the show?
who else performed on the show?
are the clips i saw widely circulated?
oh, and by the way, the word around here (SF) is that the bible launcher was
withdrawn because zorn was receiving death threats......but you probably
knew that already........

What about TLs: Today's Listening. Broader, possibly more embarassing. In fact I could easily set up a separate mailing list to send such stuff without clogging up the Zornlist. Anybody interested?

Earlier SM are more into the experimental pop realm, for lack of a better
term. Absolutely phenomenal stuff, but not as jazzy as are _Third_ and
_Fourth_ .
Allow me to suggest Michael Mantler's _The Hapless Child_ . It features an
extraordinary grouping that includes the aforementioned Mantler and Wyatt in
its ranks, along with guitar god Terje Rypdal.

I'd like to attest to the remarkable consistency of
the Arditti recordings on the Auvidis-Montaigne
label's recordings, many of which are being reish'd
under the "Naive-Montaigne" imprint, in nice
monochromatic cardboard sleeve packaging. I've been
really happy with the Wolfgang Rihm, Iannis Xenakis,
Luigi Nono, and particularly the Helmut Lachenmann (a
string quartet and unbelievably otherworldly/groovin'
'German dance suite' for quartet and orchestra). I
need more Lachenmann...that stuff is phenomenal.
