Did I miss something somewhere, or was there supposed to be a particularly
compelling reason for buying the Japanese CD when Sony/Epic put the thing
out on vinyl for somewhere in the neighbourhood of $16US? Not being much of
a fan of the vocal side of the 'Clan, I'm actually pretty happy with the
sound of this one.
In terms of other stuff that has been spinning lately, it's summertime,
so my standards have largely gone right down the toilet:
- Pop Will Eat Itself: Cure for Sanity (somebody PLEASE remaster this
album!);
- Merlin: Merlin's Arcade (where did he disappear to, I wonder?);
- Sonic Youth: 100% single (haven't actually played it, but "Genetic" has
been stuck in my head for days);
- v/a: Operation Beatbox (hooray for industrial-dance bands doing hip-hop
covers!);
- Sensational: Heavyweighter (by far the best production job he's managed
so far);
- Swans: Various Failures (melodramatic in the extreme, but awfully pretty);
- Tetreault/Drumm: Particles and Smears (snap-crackly-poppy goodness... my
favourite Erstwhile disc other than the Haunted House one...);
- Thunderinas: Blower! (I've learned my lesson... no more crappy no-fi
punk schlock from Homewrecker for me...);
- Mick Harris: Hed Nod Sessions 2 and 3 (why MCs aren't lined up around
the block to work with this guy is beyond me);
- Einsturzende Neubauten: Silence is Sexy (not only frilly and romantic,
but also playful at times);
- John Zorn: Songs from the Hermetic Theater (accompanies late-afternoon
filing chores quite nicely);
- Cubanate: Barbarossa (better-than-average British club fodder);
- Vandermark 5 and Chicks on Speed: assorted quasi-recent concert
recordings (and an entertaining idea for a collaborative recording venture)
Oh, and also the sweet, sweet purring of the quiet new power supply in my
no-longer-constantly-shorting-out computer, which is why I'm posting to
this thread almost a week after it got started.
Many thanks, by the way, for the bass clarinet suggestions... I think I'm
going to head out in search of some Marty Erlich and Eric Dolphy recordings
tomorrow afternoon, even though I'll probably just end up buying a copy of
the Moulin Rouge soundtrack album.

Woo!
Here's one I've been saving up for a while: The Oxford American is a
literary magazine (near death, sadly) based in my old stomping grounds of
Oxford, Mississippi. Anyway, the most recent issue is the annual music
issue (complete with CD of southern music, as every year). There's a brief
interview with Bill Clinton, asking about his musical likes, dislikes,
etc. One question was, "What would people be surprised to find out you
listen to?" Clinton: "Brotzmann, the German saxophonist. One of the
greatest ever."
Took me a while to pick myself up off the ground after that one.
Inevitably, uncharitably, I thought about Clinton's intern situation and
the Brotz/Laswell track "My Balls/Your Chin." Could Bill have been humming
that one during?
