    Interesting - thanks for posting.

    Well, his writing obviously didn't save that first marriage! I find Kagel entertaining - used to play LPs of Exotica and Der Schall to death - though can't say the music isn't "of its time."

    $150 isn't that bad - I'd just keep it.

    Yes, it's a favorite of mine as well. The plaintive guitar strumming and soft vocals by Joanne Gale at the beginning of "The Rain" really give you no idea what's in store. I'm not as big a fan of Black Rhythm Happening, but it's solid. Ghetto Music's a mind-melter, though.

    Well, hold yer horses of facetiousness, everybody - I couldn't get the edit to take. Not that it'd have helped my coveted "one star" rating...

    I'd say Happy Sad and Blue Afternoon are my favorites. Funny, the CD's of the Straight albums probably go for considerably more than the vinyl these days!

    Yeah, a friend of mine was researching their digitization center for a class last year. UC Santa Barbara's not hurting for dough, I'll tell you that - glad to see it's not all going into political think tanks and football teams.

    Best sounding copy, indeed. I rarely keep spares for very long, unless they've got some weird artwork variation (ESPs, for example).

    I can't figure out how to add a personal statement... Looking forward to the upcoming releases, Chuck. Hopefully I'll soon have some $$ to spend on records that I can "do the right thing."

    Three albums' worth with Derek Bailey...

    I really can't wait to receive this.
  12. clifford_thornton
    Allen, could you clean out your inbox so I can pm you? Got a few questions and I know you read this thread!

    ...and if you like or already have that, then get Ghetto Music and proceed accordingly.

    My last St. Patty's of memory was in 2004, in Minneapolis. I had umpteen pints of stout (Murphy's? Certainly not Guiness - the Bud Light of stout) and several bong hits and that pretty much made me very ill. The rest of the night was spent bent over a plastic tub.

    Antithesis - s/t - (Arise) Swiss private jazz LP with Urs Voerkel, Denis Baggi, Herbert Hartmann, etc.

    Good question. When I saw him about five or seven years ago, a couple of times, he was very frail but the ideas surely came through. Excellent percussionist and a seemingly kind, gentle soul.

    This was my third one and I was unimpressed, even with the things I thought I'd enjoy more. See SXSW bands, sure, but see them when they play in your town or are on tour in some other setting. It's far better.

    JR Monterose - In Action - (Studio 4, Japan pressing) w/ the Joe Abodeely Trio.
  19. clifford_thornton
    Meh.

    Don't bring me into this - I don't know shit about Chicago, just went to school there is all.

    Musidisc/America, from the late '60s and early '70s, sound pretty good - at least the ones I have. Come to think of it, those are mostly Debut/Fantasy titles. The Carrere Prestige vinyls I was unimpressed by and replaced with OJCs or CDs.
  22. clifford_thornton
    Nice to see you posting again, HB. Keep it up.

    Les Diaboliques - Irene Schweizer, Maggie Nicols, Joelle Leandre. Irene also had a duo with the Swiss saxophonist Co Streiff that I haven't heard (tho duo may not qualify as a "band").
  24. clifford_thornton
    That sounds about right for locale and time period, when he first came upon the scene. Like I said, I believe he recorded something for ESP in the early '70s that went unreleased.

    Shows you what I know! Saw Sticks & Stones once years ago and was very impressed.
