I always thought of Aerosmith as Stones wanna-bes. The lips on the singer? Two guitars? The drug habits? What is it?

I wish you a happy birthday Alexander.

That's the one I used to hear on New Sounds, years ago...I should get a copy.

Gotta run it frequently.

Anthony Braxton in "Forces in Motion": Harry Partch has profoundly affected me, but I've not been able to demonstrate what I've learned from this man. For instance, I've always wanted to put out my own records, like Mr. Partch did, but I've never had the money. His book would also be very inspirational, and my move to build instruments would come from Mr. Partch's example. I think he's a great composer too; he's so underrated in this period it's a damned shame. It's an indictment of America that there's no understanding of, or respect for, this man's music. The fact that he would look back to the ancients to understand better what music is, and then build a system based on the fundamentals -- this is what connects me to Harry Partch because that's exactly what I've been doing. And if I'm allowed to do my work in the future that's exactly what I'll continue to do: go to the ancients and to the scientists to understand better the route of a given information line and the transformational potential of music. Harry Partch short-circuited the whole post-Webern continuum and established a whole other area for investigation. The dynamic implications of his music, as well as its actual beauty, affected me and helped me develop the mind-set to begin looking at my own evolution.

Man...I step out to the office supply and p/u food and all hell breaks loose.

Shit Clem, see a dentist or an orthodontist or somethin'...

That's what I thought of first.

Blues-wise.......yes. I wouldn't make that distinction. That track has a lot of competition.

Uh...Lemon Song???

I had it on a boot for years before that! I love that tune...

Sheds a bit of light on that Ron Paul comment.

In My Time Of Dying is my fave Zep cut.

German avant-garde musician Hans Otte dies at 81 BERLIN - German avant-garde composer and pianist Hans Otte has died, his former employer said Wednesday. He was 81. Otte died on Tuesday after a long illness, Radio Bremen, whose music department he led from 1959 to 1984, said in a brief statement on its website. It did not specify the cause of death. Otte, born Dec. 3, 1926 in the eastern German town of Plauen, started playing the piano at age 5. He was trained in Germany, in Italy and at Yale University in the United States where, during a one-year scholarship in 1950, he studied composition under Paul Hindemith. He also was a student of pianist Walter Gieseking and organist Fernando Germani. Radio Bremen, which described Otte as an "outstanding innovative spirit," said he brought avant-garde composers John Cage and David Tudor to Germany in the 1970s. Otte initiated and organized the Pro Musica Nova festival in the northern city of Bremen starting in 1961, making a name for himself as a promoter of modern music. Otte's own output ranged from musical theatre to video productions, and included his minimalist piano work "Buch der Klaenge," or "Book of Sounds," first performed in 1982. Details of survivors and funeral arrangements were not immediately available. Copyright © 2007 The Canadian Press. All rights reserved.

It's about time!

There's also a good chance he played cuts from Switched on Bach 2000 by Wendy (aka Walter) Carlos.

I missed Microtonal Bach this year, but I've heard it many times before. discussion of JSB's use of the Werkmeister III tuning. description of what exactly is the Werkmeister III tuning. guest Johnny Reinhard plays authentic recordings in historic tunings by his group, The American Festival of Microtonal Music. I have a tape of at least one of the old shows, he's been doing this for years, but I have no idea of what the condition is. I hope that helps.

Wow. Either someone knows you very well or they have a list and they're checking it twice.

That wasn't quizzical, that was a clueless look.
