rarely do i flame publicly, but here we go:
<< speaking of ralf and florian -- one word kids: Neu. >>
thanks for the tip, Mom. some of us are actually familiar with them already.
thanks for the tip, Jon, but some people on the list (such as myself) are just discovering certain musics and maybe would have appreciated the tip. so next time you want to insult me, do it privately, or better yet, do it via IM where i can retort to you realtime without you sounding like a total cock on the list.
you'd do well to do a bit more reading here and a bit less posting, in my
rarely humble opinion.
last time i checked, listservs are for whomever to post whatever whenever, senza censorship. if you have such a problem with my posts, then delete them prior to reading them.
<<n.r. - Experimental Music, by Michael Nyman (new edition by Brian Eno :)>>
it's not a new edition. there's a three page forward by Eno, and zero
updating of Nyman's text, automatically making it seem as if experimental
music came to a crashing halt in 1974. I can't say I've ever found this book
of more than mildly historical interest, but maybe it was more important at
the time.
if you had bothered to ask in lieu of automatically assuming my status of moron, i would have readily said that nyman chose to not update any of the information in the book. i said the new edition. i didn't say updated. pay attention! i think the book is still very important, minus its total lack of experimental computer music (not applicable at the time) and female composer content (something you probably wouldn't know anything about, being a male chauvinist pig).
i posted this publicly because i do not appreciate being insulted publicly, and will readily return the favour if someone deems it necessary to do so.
my Kraftwerk suggestion is Organization-Tone Float, Ralf and Florian's first
appearance on record, a more rockish record with a quintet from 1970, just
before the three Kurt mentioned, all of which are also quite good. the first
Tangerine Dream record, Electronic Meditation, is also recommended,
surprisingly wild.
thanks for the information, Dad. some of us know about this record too.
don't be an asshole,
kate.

borders is still listing the 1/22 release date for cobra... so i might be wrong (duck) but they said i would have it by the end of the week... i guess we'll see and i'll let anyone who cares know.
love,

I believe KFW isn't about impressive schedules: they have always had bad
albums in their catalogues, giving people chances to grow. Even nowadays,
great KFW albums appear, I don't feel much has changed.
Cuong Vu, Frank London stuff, the Rashied Ali re-issues, Brad Shepik: all
wonderful and surprising albums from last KFW year.

You are absolutely right in trying to forget the names of the wannabees, but
it was exactly that hit and miss policy in the sixties, that produced some
wonderful albums on huge labels like Columbia and Decca. Forget the new
shite, it doesn't get remembered anyway. KFW is trying, and is not releasing
'readymade' finished product, like others do. they flunk once in a while,
mhm, yeah. I do too.

I'd say that the cock is in the eye of the beholder in this case.

indeed they are, which is one reason most of them tend to degenerate into
gibberish and spam. here on the zorn list, when people burst onto the list
with a flurry of inane postings on tangelos etc., some of us oldtimers try to
help those people to exercise a bit of restraint before posting every aside
that comes into their tiny little head.
<<female composer content (something you probably wouldn't know anything

and this comment stems from what exactly?

Subject: why doesn't Tzadik hook up college/independent radio?
As some of you may or may not know, I'm the music director of a pretty
decent college radio station (www.wuvt.vt.edu ).
Since taking over the position, I was told by the previous guy to not even
bother supplicating Tzadik for records...apparently, they could care less
about hooking up radio stations, or even offering a discounted purchase
price for their records.
Does anyone know why? I just don't get it. Not even NPR stations play Tzadik
records...college/independent radio is THE format that pushes their stuff.
Considering the volume of records that Tzadik puts out, they're obviously
not hurting too bad in the financial department - why don't they hook us up
with records, or at the very least offer a discount purchasing program?
It just seems a bit selfish- when guys that are running tiny labels out of
their bedrooms, not even breaking even in the $$ department are willing to
