The Sliding Floor First time I met Angel Up on the bridge of an ocean-going liner She was virtue, vice and (......) Can't give her up now for all the tea in China Here comes a knock on my door Angel face with teeth like a tiger's claw Morning comes she'll soon be back begging for more Angel knows that truth has a sliding floor No use asking me why Some people stink like a downtown Bowery wino If experts, preachers, mystics can't find the answer Then how the hell should I know? Lost in a world breaking apart Angel shines her mystery light into the dark She's not wasting blame on the rich or the poor Angel knows that truth has a sliding floor Lost in a world breaking apart Angel shines her mystery light into the dark She's not wasting blame on the rich or the poor Angel knows that truth has a sliding floor

a review. "The one recent work is that by David Beardsley. Sonic Bloom (1998) is a halo of soft attacks and microtonal chords. It is inspired by La Monte Young, but its form relies less on drones, more on a continually changing palette of harmonies swaying like slow, decaying windchimes." not much of a review, more like a description. sorry, no wind chimes there.

Now that's just silly. He played in Circle and the Braxton group of that time with Braxton and Altschul. Plus a bunch of albums with Rivers. This is the kind of music he was playing at the time. Certainly his writing at the time of Conference Of The Birds is a bit different than what he was composing later.

Happy Birthday Joe!

She plays at the 55 Bar frequently. She writes books for Mel Bay! http://www.sherylbailey.com/

Bruce from DMG was just telling me yesterday, he was at that show too.

I've managed to get over Beefheart the fucked up sick person by not reading those stories over and over.

oh yes...this is true.

I still have that too. I should get it out an prop it up on a shelf. Yeah, I remember the non-glossy paper!

Benn listening to MO this week, there's been a flood of recordings on Dime recently. The BOF cover artwork still blows my mind!

this was breaking news elsewhere a few days ago...still a very hip story!

A defining moment of his career and influential too. From his playing in that extremely popular band came all those heavy metal and hard rock double bass drummers (with due credit to Ginger Baker) later. Jeff Beck has been playing a tune off Spectrum at recent performances. Stratus.

I've been spinning this a lot in the car in the last few weeks. Ralph Towner - Open Letter. I really love it too. The combination of classical guitar & Prophet synth is real nice.

uh, dood...sure about that? Guess I wasn't so sure after all. Yez....the first Rainbow album used Dio's previous group Elf.

uh, dood...sure about that?

the body looks kinda like one of those old Hofner teles.
