7/4

Brickbats Brickbats fly at my fireplace Upside down I see them in the fire They squeak and roast there Wings leap across the floor Fold up the wall shadows The window curtain ghost Throws my heart and dusts my throat My mind caught by the corner Gradually decides its safe Becomes a bat itself Flexes its little claws Curse its leather wings With loud, hollow pops Around the room Threatening to dash its brains Somehow at the last minute Retreats and becomes a natural glue And holds fast and slow In every other motion Making the night more interesting Becomes a cold, liquid breeze That freezes and thaws And pours the surroundings full As no breath can be taken It drowns and relieves To see the black turn into yellow And the yellow into black.

great box, I still listen to it quite a bit.

So you finally got it! Good! That run of it (plus the originals) that you noticed last week was a great wash of wonderful sound and, like I said, something that I thought you'd really enjoy. The booklets are real eye-openers. ® I finally got the first box this evening, I'll be digging into it in the morning. The second one will be here next week!

Olivier Messiaen: Transport de joie

listening.

folks can get my string quartet from Arkivmusic.com now!

sounds like they're flac files.

It's so essential to my job, banning cell phone use in my vehicle would be a big problem.

link Jazz Twats, a definition. What is a Jazz Twat? How do you know when you have a Jazz Twat in the studio?

good deal! it's his birthday on Sunday.

yikes! cool story...

I listened to bit of it while I was taking care of my driving duties. I heard great material from Jimmy Lyons & Marilyn Crispell, among others. Listening to Karen Borca on line right now.

Ted Greene, 1946.

nah...it's just a typical discussion around here.

?

congrats Chuck!

those are just a few crumbs! The Grammavision albums and the Black Album were up at the Avant Guard Project, but they're gone now. The Well Tuned Piano is $650 on EBay! Holy crap!

CDs. rarely MP3 files. I'm on the road 99% of the time now too...lots of time for tunes!

They sure are! What I was told: - La Monte never got the masters for the Well Tuned Piano back. - there was an album of blues projected for release that never happened.
