Thought I'd let the Ra fans on this list know that the above OOP (?) book by Rob Bowman is available from Nina's Discount Oldies for $14.95 . They have a *very* limited supply of this title on hand, so rather than sleeping late, call bright and early on Monday morning. Their phone number is 1-800-366-4627, order hours 8AM-5PM Monday-Friday.
Disclaimer: I don't work for Nina's, I just want the admiration of all of you out there. Hit me with the love.

Forgot to include the book code for the above, which is <BK 807>. You'll need it to order for the discount price. I should also add that they have it incorrectly posted on their computers at $18.95 . Make sure you mention the $14.95 price as posted in the catalog.

One more try- the author is John F. Szwed, not Rob Boman. It's the hardcover version too, not the currently in-print edition. Did I leave anything out?
Oh yeah- Nina's has also got Graham Lock's _Anthony Braxton- Forces in Motion: The Music and Thoughts of Anthony Braxton_ for $4.95, code <BK 697> .
The Times article was an enthusiastic endorsement of this music by a critic who was new to it, and a call to others looking for the real deal to go check it out. She was very complementary about the scene, and I thought said exactly the right things about the spirit with which one should approach it:
"Accessible? These tones were irresistible, though not easily absorbed. They challenged the habits of
listening, rerouting the path that sound travels from ear to mind. Perhaps so many find such music
irritating because, at its core, bewilderment is its gift. The questions it poses are bottomless."
I don't think that "sophisticated" criticism would have improved on that. Sometimes, as an old boss of mine once said, you just have to take yes for an answer.

Agreed. Powers showed up for every night at the Knit (something I couldn't do as much as I love VF), ran around to the shows in the differerent rooms and spent hours interviewing the people behind it. She is new to this stuff but, unlike many other writers I've seen, she has the guts and honesty to
admit it. Unlike our friend Mr. Burns, she doesn't then brush it off but makes all-out attempts to embrace it. For a paper like the Times where many of the readers are in a similar position as she is, this kind of thing can only help VF I believe.

Now I want a 3-disc box of Robert Quine bootlegs. Waaah! Maybe a CD of "Escape" would do....

<P>I think It is great that such a famous band as Radiohead is turning in the direction they are, It should do good for popular music. But I also think there are many other bands that have been doing what Radiohead is doing now for a while, and have done it better. I am reminded of Spacemen 3, Slowdive, Mogwai, and many other ambient etheral space music. </P>
<P>Also can anyone tell me where/when I can see John Zorn/Glenn Branca/others live?</P>
<BR><< i still don't see how people can deem them the best rock band in the
<BR>world. to me, o.k. computer comes across as low-rent king crimson. >>
<BR>
<BR>The mass appeal of Radiohead is Thom York's voice. I love Kc, but belew is
<BR>rarely as personal as York. That and every now and then Radiohead has the
<BR>ability to write some really amazing lyrics.

<BR></FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000a0" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SCRIPT" FACE="Comic Sans MS" LANG="0">I've heard all of Radiohead's work, and like then quite a lot in a Pink Floyd
<BR>sort of way - however, I think most of Radiohead's lyrics are extremely banal.
<P>Most commonly for Stereolab people would recommend Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I also like Dots & Loops. I think It takes alot of listens of steeolab to appricate it more. What a like about it is the mellow sound and the could noises they make, really good electronics, and good sining too. Its fairly standard sounding, but Its good listening.</P>
<P>My favorite Sonic youth is Daydream Nation, but That is the one I,ve listened to the closest. I also would recommend the goodbye 20th century just because there are many cool covers like Steve Reich,s pendelum music. and other experimental composers.</P>
>Speaking of Hogg, has anyone ever been able to locate
>a copy of it? I read a great excerpt from a Fiction
Yep, my local library has a copy. If all you wanted was to read it your library can borrow it through inter-library loan; if you want your own personal copy (and avoid the looks of librarians who may have thumbed through it) there's always out of print searches (best place is bookfinder.com).
> LINDBERG, THE JOHN ENSEMBLE A Tree Frog Tonality
Very good. Interesting compositions, great playing from all -- Ochs reminds me of Braxton a bit too much in places, but Wadada Leo Smith is in fine form. Lindgerg is his usual virtuosic self, can't remember who's on drums.

<P>I'm in Japan now near Kobe and Osaka until July 2nd, and I'm trying to find some noise rock show. Like Boredoms, Eye, or Merzbow. Does anybody know of any web sites or venues I could check out.</P>

I'm a huge Frisell fan, so naturally I bought the soundtrack... Let me just say that it has moments and it has fluff... The U2 song is typical, Some of the more atmostpheric pieces are delightful... Would I buy it again? Only if it were used...
