>Whats on the cover of Painkillers Rituals cd?
The front cover is a bondage scene with a woman standing over a man and
barfing into his mouth. The back cover is another bondage scene with a
woman crushing a man's genitals with her heel. I will try to get this
posted at the Axiom web site in the next week or two.
>Whats the differens between the censored and the uncensored version of
>the Guts Of A Virgin cover?
The cover I saw on US-approved Guts CDs had the picture blanked out. Maybe
there is now a cover with the picture on it. The front and back covers of
Guts and Buried Secrets, as they originally appeared, are at the Axiom web
site (URL below) on the Images page. Also, the Japanese version of
Execution Ground, which has a third live CD, had an interesting photo that
was not included in the US package. That photo can be accessed by going to
the URL

-Subject: Elliott Sharp
I saw Elliott Sharp last night on his in-store performance tour that was
supposed to be with Zeena Parkins, but for some reason, she couldn't make
it. Anyway, he fucked shit up! (That's good, by the way.) It was just
him with a combimation bass/guitar, and he also played an alto
sax/clarinet (pardon me for my musical ignorance, but as you can see, I'm
mostly doomed to being an element of the audience; :) ). He went nuts
for what seemed like forever recording finger-tapping on the fretboard
into his echo pedal and then playing that back (from the echo pedal)
while improvising on top of that, and then heading back to the
finger-tapping rythym he created, all without missing a beat. It was
fucking AWESOME, I tell you; almost mechanic, it was so precise. When
playing the sax, he'd mute it with the side of his calve, and use this
breathing technique I've never seen before to play continuously for a
really long time. He played for what seemed like a little over 45
minutes, with about 75% of that being working on the bass/guitar. He
also utilized a myriad of other pedals, a drum machine, and he had a Mac
Powerbook doing some work (I assume as a second drum machine).
Needless to say, I was taken aback by how good this was. In the realm of
avant-garde stuff, I'm only really familiar with Zorn (which is probably
obvious), but now I'm scared because I picked up a Carbon CD last night,
and if I really like it, I'm probably going to end up doing like I do
with Zorn: purchasing everything I can find by him. And having this
affliction with Zorn is expensive enough! ;) My only regret is that I
didn't videotape last night's performance.
I felt like a real buffoon last night, though, because I really wanted to
talk to Elliott Sharp and ask him a million questions, but I honestly
couldn't think of what to say or ask, so I ended up bothering him for
probably 5 minutes engaging in the most inane of small talk, trying to
strike up some sort of real conversation, but I failed miserably, and
probably made a fool out of myself. Heh. But that's life, I suppose.

john zorn & yamantaka eye: nani nani
I've listened to this one. Isn't his name Yamasuka Eye, or something like
that, or is that someone else I'm thinking of?
>3.First Recordings 1973
How old was Zorn in 1973? He was some sick child. From the inside jacket
of this CD, I would guess he was a teen. I wonder if he ever performed
this stuff during a high school recital. i can see all the kids' parents
running for their lives.
I thought this one is the most interesting of the 4 new Tzadik CD's.
someone wrote in Digest 88:

I have a complete opposite opinion on these new releases. I was totally
bored with Marc Ribot and still have yet to hear the whole CD in one
sitting and probably will never happen, while I really enjoyed nani nani.
It's those 1973 recordings that really freaked me out though. Just
beautiful.
