7/4

Oddly enough, the Solovox was made by Hammond. It is indeed a crude, tube based synthesizer but considering it was made in the 40s... Wasn't the tone closer to a sine tone? I haven't heard one in years.......

Just about the time I scrolled down it changed. Ha!

Mach 3 Turbo since last Friday and I'm converted. There was always this spot on my right jaw that got torn up, no longer a problem! As fer foam: brush & shaving soap.

I noticed that too.

I missed the begining, but it's on now!!! http://wkcr.org/ SUN RADIO - Jazz Profiles, November 9th, 2-7pm est WKCR 89.9 FM NYC - www.WKCR.org now back to full power THE IMAGE REACH To The territory of the non-memory The realm of the non-moving potential of that which is not-- To The state beyond the image-reach The magic life of myth And fantasy I speak And say "Welcome." I welcome thy presence As a very Cosmic gift of sheer happiness. The happiness I have known Are no longer mine. I cast them to the world And say "Take these" As you have taken all else from me, For I have one foot upon The threshold of other realms And wings Have grown Upon my mind To take me Beyond the gravity And gravitation of the earth. - Sun Ra Join us Sunday, November 9th, between 2pm and 7pm for a celebration of Le Sun Ra's music of the spheres, with special focus on virtuoso reed player John Gilmore. Sun Ra is an outer-space myth whose earthly legacy is astounding and deeply rooted in all that 'Jazz' signifies. He played piano and arranged for Fletcher Henderson, was highly regarded by Coleman Hawkins and Thelonius Monk, pioneered electronic keyboards and forecast most of current popular music. Sun Ra's music spans big-band swing, doo-wop, post-bop, and so-called 'free' improvisation - although Ra did not like the notion of 'freedom', preferring instead the 'precision and discipline' it took to rehearse every day for 14 hours and keep an orchestra together for about as long as Basie's and Ellington's. John Gilmore held first chair on tenor and soprano saxes, flute and clarinet as well as percussion in Sun Ra's Arkestra for nearly four decades. He is well-known in musicians' circles for having taught John Coltrane some key lessons - eliciting 'Trane's excited response, "He's got the concept!" We will highlight some classic Gilmore moments from Sun Ra's huge recorded output, in addition to surveying Gilmore's career as a sideman in various ensembles such as Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Paul Bley, Dizzy Reece and McCoy Tyner. Space is the Place!

That is weird; I've never heard anyone who was really into music (as opposed to background noise) make the claim that better sales were proof of anything. I have, a few times over the years.

look here....

The dated synths sound cool!

It's from the period where he was analog and interesting!!!

I'm a big fan of his films, this is his masterpiece, quite beautiful. But my favorite is Wild At Heart, I wish it would come out on DVD. As well as that 2nd season of Twin Peaks. Google USENET for the David Lynch newsgroups.

Uncle Meat.

Dormant Creem Magazine to Publish Again By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: November 3, 2003 Filed at 2:21 p.m. ET HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) -- When Brian Bowe learned that Creem, a defunct rock magazine he'd read as a child, was making a comeback after 15 years, he sat down and wrote an e-mail to the publisher. As a music fanatic, the 31-year-old Laketown Township resident wanted to work for the magazine in some way. After writing back and forth with Robert Matheu for a while, Bowe sent a few reviews and essays. ``I started writing stuff, and he liked the stuff I was writing,'' Bowe told The Holland Sentinel for a recent story. ``He sent me some copy to edit, and he liked the way I was editing stuff.'' Less than a year later, Matheu asked Bowe, a spokesman for Grand Valley State University, to edit the new Creem. ``When he asked me, I was floored,'' Bowe said. ``I couldn't have been happier. To this day, it just, the very idea, blows my mind. I feel very honored, and I take it very seriously.'' Currently a Web-only publication, Creem is expected be on store shelves in a print edition next spring, Matheu said. Creem began in Detroit in March 1969 and ran monthly until November 1988, when the magazine folded. A revival was launched in the early 1990s, but the publication largely lay dormant until fall 2000, when Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical movie ``Almost Famous'' was released. Crowe wrote for Creem as a teenager under the editing of Lester Bangs, a wild-haired, prolific writer who became synonymous with the publication. Bangs died in 1982. The film renewed interest in Bangs and Creem, and Matheu decided to try to restore luster to the magazine's name. He contacted the owners of the publication rights and obtained permission to bring it back.

I found Infinity used for about $12, about 11 years ago and I like it. But I am a fan of Alice Coltrane and I like her string arrangements. Anybody familiar with the original mix of Illuminations? Alice with a decent sounding Santana, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and others. A real hot date.

Yikes! I don't know if I can handle this......

Probablly not, he's not playing.

But who really cares if the music is good? (Admittedly, that is a big if.) Guy I do.

Whatta hoot!

B.B. was in Dallas Monday night w/Bobby Bland. It was a really good show. I knew he must be on tour. The other guys are dust. Not that there's anything wrong about that.

Where's Albert, B.B. and Freddy???

But Manny's ass cleavage doesn't bother you? He can work at a store like that, brag about buying $300 Brian Eno rarities - but he can't be bothered to buy a belt to hold his fucking pants up. AND the owner doesn't seem to be bothered about it!

A kick ass album. A classic. Right on Brother! I love the way Pat and Ornette play the head to Mob Job together. Such a bluesy cry. And there are sections of Endangered Species that are totally thrilling, when you're in the right mindspace. I have a live show on cassete, I'll try to dig it out and see what it sounds like. I hope it's not wow and flutter hell. Remind me if I don't say anything in the next weeks. Did you ever check out the Pat Metheny Song Book? Kathelin Gray is in the book.

Man, I wore it out when it came out. And it's been a while since I spun it. I've been in a blues/free jazz mode recently and it fits right in.

A kick ass album. A classic.

What hurricane?
