Subject: Re: Masada
John Bush (aka jbush51@Calvin.EDU) quotes CMJ:
>
>The music's connections to Klezmer are , at best, subatomic--most ears will
>miss if this music is based on Klezmer themes or not--but it's a bold
The West Coast version of Masada that played 6 shows
here in the Bay Area last year had Ben Goldberg on
clarinet instead of Douglas on Trumpet. And I must
say the clarinet gave it more of a Klezmer feel.
Their first gig together at the Great American
Music Hall was one of the finest shows I have
ever seen. Rip roaring, in your face, and wonderfully
emotional. If a live recording exists, it deserves
to see the light of day.
cheers,

Subject: General Nonsence
This is my first submission to this list...
I have various questions and needs for knowledge...
Has anyone heard Bootsy Collins' Zillatron album? This is a nice piece. I've
heard other stuff off the Black Arc label and they all pale in comparison. Is
there any other stuff like this? I really am intrested in this type of music.
Pain Killer, Torture Garden, Naked City, etc... What are some other bands with
this type of style. I have a hard time with really dissonant stuff, ie: some
Naked City movie scores and stuff like that. I need structure; it keeps me
whole. :)
Mr. Bungle is WHO? Aside from Mike Patton, and Trey (Scummy/Bucket Head), who
plays bass , drums and keys? I heard that Roddy Bottom from FNM plays key.s
Does John Zorn play sax on anything aside from the album?
Finally... Does anyone have boots of any of these bands? I saw Naked City at
the Knitting Factory a LONG time ago... I really don't have much aside from a
Bungle show and quite a bit of Phish to trade.
Sharin in the groove...

Subject: Re: "Radical Jewish Culture" Nights
I first heard Zorn on Knitting Factory's "Klezmer 1993" compilation
(Masada's "Ziphim", the best track on the record in my opinion). If
anyone is interested there is another disc on KFW by Frank London (the
soundtrack to the film "the Shvitz") which I think is excellent.
Personell include the Klezmatics (London's Band, I think), Marc Ribot &
Elliot Sharp. Music ranges from near-old world klezmer to thrash to a, oh
my, Yiddish rap piece.
Now my question is: Can anyone confirm the existence of a 3rd klezmer
disc on KFW, which bears the title "Avant Garde Jewish Sessions" or
something to that effect? I've been looking for it for a couple of
months now, and while I've found it in the occasional data base or
catalogue, no one seems to be able to order it and it is rumored that it
may never have been released. If you've seen it, do you know where I can
get it?
Thanks,
Xander

Subject: Re: Nato
This is all I've got on Nato:
The label had a subdivision (circa '88) called something like something
like: "chabada". Chabada released a series of 10" slabs of vinyl, mostly
with cartoonesque artwork. I have seen at least some of these as cd
reissues in the recent past. I had two of the 10"s but didn't keep
them. If I were buying them now I might feel differently. One that I
had was by Steve Beresford and was all tunes either inspired by or at
some time or other associated with Doris Day. I can't recall who the
other one was by, by it was full of perverse Hawaiian guitar bits, one of
which I taped and still delights me (I stuck it on a tape of Jacques Tati
soundtracks which should serve as a warning).
Chabada had quite a few titles by the Melody Four (Beresford, Lol Coxhill
and two others) doing things like music from Marx Brothers flicks.
On Nato proper I've got three lps (all vinyl):
1. Avril Brise (soundtrack) by Steve Beresford (w/Alan Hacker & Max
Eastley). I recommend this one. The film was Albanian and the
soundtrack has a very nice flavor (I'm not sure that it's musically
accurate) to it.
2. "Anne Marie Beretta-Dancing the Line" also by Beresford which I like
but would'n't go out of my way to recommend.
3. Pop Out Eyes by British Summer Time Ends. This one has yet to get a
2nd play on my turntable....
I know that there is also an LP (vinyl at least) by Jac Berrocal and a
compilation of recordings inspired by Hitchcock films.
I hope this helps.
By the way, I'm not quite sure that it's appropriate to post the Sub Rosa
discography. It's about eight items long (not including the question
marks). If you think it's ok, let me know via the list, if not, anyone
interested can email me directly and I will send it out.

Subject: New Mr. Bungle release?
Maybe this is a bit off the topic, but since JZ produced and even played on
the last Mr. Bungle cd, does anyone know when the new Mr. Bungle cd is due
to be released? I understand that it should have been recorded in January
or so. Any info?
Thanks,
Karl-Michael.

I have received no response in two days from these guys and given how hard
this is to get, I am wondering if anyone has any experience with delivery
from these guys.

Though I feel that I do not know enough about John Zorn to contribute
anything aside from the obvious, I would like to say that the information
provided is interesting and that I dutifully read all the Digest Articles.
Keep up the good work

Subject: Re: ZORN DIGEST #31
I can clear up all Buckethead rumors because I have met him in person.
I went to see a psuedo Praxis show at Williams College over the
x-mas break. It was Bernie Worrell and Friends, but really it was
Buckethead, Bernie, Cherokee (from P-Funk) and Jerome Brailey (also from
P-Funk) the entire concert was basically these guys playing the entire
transmutation album, Praxis' first. Buckethead was out of control. He played
an amazing show! But anyways, my friend organized and promoted the show, so
afterwards, we hung out with the band. I met Buckethead, without all
the costume, the mask, the bucket, etc. He is a normal guy, who actually
acts more like a little kid than some serious stuck-up adult. He says
he plays Mortal Combat (he said he's been asked to do some soundtrack work
for the Mortal Combat movie coming soon) and hangs out with kids. He also
goes to disneyland a lot and is currently transcribing the Pirates of
the caribbean theme into a guitar solo. He is awesome, a good guy to hang
out with and so on. Whether he eats meat and was raised in a chicken coop
I do not know, but he does have an extended collection of rubber chickens
and other toys.

The Tower Outlet in San Francisco (3rd and Brannan) has copies of Leng'Tche
