thanks very much for highlighting that. I seem to have completely forgotten about Jon3's existence since it's move to such a convenient time....never even look at the schedule, my loss. Off to 'listen again' soon

Ouch, never ever expected to see that on this board.....with you on the music (with a few exceptions, stand proud Working Week), and the film for that sake. London in the mid 80s where we all wanted to be in that film.....well for five minutes it seemd so but we were young back then and soon saw the error of our ways.

glad to hear a positive response to this release. Count me in for a copy the next time I visit Honest Jons - i'll remember to take a big bag to accomodate that cover!

For those of us enjoying this release or even trying to come to terms with it and for those who're wondering what its all about - an interesting interview providing WLS's thoughts on the music and the wider perspective that helped create it, is here http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=42276&pg=1

MAP (Mary Halvorsen, Reuben Radding, Tatsuya Nakatani) - Fever Dream great music, dubious coloured vinyl

could be interesting. I'd be a lot more excited if it were the Garbarek/Stenson quartet

Like that one a lot. listening to very tasty

something most disturbing and disconcerting has happened in London today, the sky's changed colour to this very unusual (but not unpleasant) shade of blue. Also, there's an uncomfortably bright light emanating from above which appears to bring warmth - help!

Yes, with you on Nash and John Piper too

saw that over the Bank holiday. i thoroughly enjoyed it and thought the curatorial premise worked well. Interesting to see the Brits reflected in the Picasso influence who was a fair few years ahead of most of them if truth be told. I thought Nicholson, Moore and Bacon all traversed the influence of PP in varyingly individual ways. I'd've loved to see the Miro but couldn't get it into the itinerary of recent trip to Hepworth Wakefied (knockout gallery and collection)

regretted missing the Kusama. Booked my ticket to see Twombly (and a couple of other half decent painters, I believe) at Liverpool. The Invisible art intrigues. Hayward on a bit of a run at the moment...Emin, Deller and now this. Top tip - if visiting the Hayward and it's a half decent day do visit the roof garden on top of queen ElizHall - lovely spot for coffee, wine or beer

Listening on NPR now, thanks. Liking what I'm hearing.

London's simply drenched. rained non-stop for 24 hours it seems with more promised tomorrow. that's enough for me, now. This is the summer, after all

glad to hear it's good as I've got my ticket for their London gig next month.When i heard about the collaboration it just seemed a good fit somehow so thought I'd take a punt on the concert.

What a dreadful shock. RIP

opening track is so joyous previously listening in response to the Brackeen thread and realising why the news of his possible current situation made such an impact

Only ever read Morality Play which i thought was a tremendously believable historical recreation, packed with atmosphere. sacred hunger has been on the 'to read' list for too long

that's very sad indeed. Sad when anyone find themselves in such a situation but seemingly more so here even though the only connection I have with him is greatly enjoying his music since first hearing the Silkhearts

another cartoonist's view http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/the-daily-cartoon-760940.html worth flicking back a couple of days too

an amusing antidote to a few days too many of "celebration", anything to prick the bubble.

I defer to all the resident Ra-experts but as someone who's dipped a toe into each decade of the discography (courtesy of Evidence, ESP, Delmark, Leo, Impulse) I've found afew of the Art Yards an intriguing listen, nicely produced. So whilst it may not be the place (is there ever really one ideal entry into such a vast musical world?) to start I'd say it was a tempting box for a flavour of an era. From thereon in it's all bets off though....

some people care because as gay people themselves they feel they share an identity and a history. This history is often incomplete because prejudice and discrimination meant gay people chose (and still choose) not to disclose their sexuality. In a non-prejudicial world it actually wouldn't matter if we did know everyone's sexuality. It's not necessarily about their music, and absorption thereof, at all, you're correct on that.

For what it's worth, they don't have a physical address in Graysville, or a local telephone directory listing (paper or online). Edit: There is a listing in Dayton, TN, nearby. Looks like they're on Facebook and Twitter. And in a local newspaper article http://rheaheraldnews.com/story/19731 BeBop, thanks ever so for that

Wondering whether anyone's purchased from http://recordrelics.ecrater.com/ before? I've found an LP listed but I'm unsure of their bona fides, any clues appreciated thanks in anticipation
