Subject: The Sunday Times on The Boredoms
My apologies for not posting this sooner, but other things have a habit of getting
in the way. Anyway, found this in The Sunday Times (UK) from July 23rd, 1995.
Inside New York by Tony Allen-Mills
Under a picture of Yamatsuka Eye captioned:
"Metaphysical statement: Yamatsuka Eye of The Boredoms"
comes the following:
Right out of tune
-----------------
As Michael Jackson's heavily hyped new album slid embarrassingly down
the charts last week, New York music-lovers were being encouraged to tune
into a sound that threatens to become the next big thing: The Boredoms
have arrived from Japan.
Accompanied by out-of-tune guitar and howling trumpet, Yamatsuka Eye
screeched his way through perhaps the least tuneful song ever performed
at a New York music festival. A baffled reviewer detected "humour,
rebelliousness, provocation and mockery" in the performance, but noted
that Eye, "with a hairdo like an exploding land mine, brutalised his
voice with growls, yells, shrieks and gibberish ... leaping around
the stage with karate-like kicks".
The Boredoms are, apparently, making a metaphysical statement about
the arbitrariness of sound and the contemptibility of bourgeois
musical tastes. Their style was described as "pentatonic quasi-Japanese
melody". It made a change from rap.
Well, I found it amusing, and at least they didn't screw up like Rolling
Stone and call him Eye Yamatsuka!
Ciao, Dem (demery@prl.philips.nl)

Subject: upcoming releases on Tzadik
Just got some information concerning upcoming releases from Tzadik
(Zorn's domestic label) that might interest some of you:
Out in September (a Zorn month!):
John Zorn (EARLY WORKS 1974)
John Zorn (REDBIRD, minimal compositions for strings & percussion)
John Zorn (BOOK OF HEADS, guitar compositions interpreted by
Marc Ribot, originally written for Chadbourne)
John Zorn + Yamatsuka Eye (different than Mystic Fugu Orchestra)
+ reissues (US only, Evva (Japan) taking care of the rest of the world):
John Zorn (ELEGY)
John Zorn (KRISTALLNACHT)
John Zorn (LOCUS SOLUS)
Later this year:
Jim O'Rourke (TERMINAL PHARMACY)
Fred Frith + Ikue Mori + Hideki Kato (DEATH AMBIENT)
The Masada(s) on Tzadik are planned next year, as well as the reissues of the
early Zorn on Parachute and Lumina.

Subject: Tzadik
Well last week I went to Tower records (here in S.F.) and they had all of
the new Tzadik stuff under Zorn but separated in its own sub-section.
Also, they had the Painkiller Execution Ground Japanese import (3 cds)!,
so I guess someone's been paying attention. Of the new Tzadik stuff I've
gotten:
NEW KLEZMER TRIO--Excellent out-Klezmer. Anyone who likes Masada likes this.
MYSTIC FUGU ORCHESTRA--Eye and Zorn seem to be playing a joke on anyone
who had any expectations on what their first duo CD would sound like.
Nevertheless, it is a very mysterious and kind of fun way to spend 23
minutes. (Plus it's only $10!)
GROUND ZERO--I haven't heard their other CDs, but I like this one a lot.
Sample-heavy noisy jazzy experimental--sometimes reminds me of Naked City.
DEREK AND THE RUINS--The Ruins are one of my favorites, so I was looking
very forward to this, and it is even better than I expected. 99%
improvised NOT like most Ruins music, but more like Derek Bailey and the
two Ruins musicians playing free. This is just one of the best
improvised CDs I have ever heard, being very balanced between the three
musicians.
Also, I just got a CD called JUNK GENIUS with Ben Goldberg, John Schott,
Trevor Dunn, and Kenny Wollenson that is on Knitting Factory Works. New
and creative reworkings of older jazz songs. I highly recommend this
to anyone who likes the jazzier side of creative music.
I love music!
