Happy Birthday, Duke!

I have many of the Evidence releases, but haven't gotten any of the Art Yard or Transparency releases. Does anyone have recommendations on them? I'm most interested in the 1960's and 70's era material.

A lot of high foreheads standing around.

Breaking News Alert The New York Times Mon, April 25, 2011 -- 6:11 PM ET ----- Judge Grants Injunction to End N.F.L. Lockout Pending Appeal A federal judge gave professional football players a significant victory Monday, granting an injunction to stop the N.F.L.'s six-week lockout Monday. Judge Susan Richard Nelson of United States District Court did not stay her decision, sending the N.F.L scrambling to seek a stay from the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to prevent the league from having to open for business immediately. If the stay is not granted, the N.F.L. will have to put rules in place allowing players to return to work and free agency to open within days, creating a flurry of activity similar to the normal operations of an off-season. Teams will be allowed to hold workouts with players, players will be permitted to meet with trainers to rehabilitate injuries and coaches to study game film.

I'm thinking about getting to this one on Wednesday. Anyone else going? Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - 8:00pm The New Mellow Edwards Chris Speed, saxophone + clarinet Curtis Hasselbring, trombone + guitar Mary Halvorson, guitar Trevor Dunn, bass Matt Moran, vibraphone Satoshi Takeishi, percussion Ches Smith, drums International House Philadelphia 3701 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA Price: $12 General Admission "A smart ensemble that harnesses the forward thrust of rock in the service of an almost chamber-like group cohesiveness.” - Nate Chinen, New York Times Ars Nova Workshop is pleased to present this special concert by a septet version of Curtis Hasselbring's The New Mellow Edwards for a performance of a new piece titled “Number Stations.” Curtis Hasselbring’s The New Mellow Edwards is his acclaimed quartet featuring Trevor Dunn, John Hollenbeck and Chris Speed that defies traditional jazz conventions and favors primal garage rock-derived grooves, textural explorations and classically-influenced structures. Their performances are, often simultaneously, humorous, dark, accessible and exciting. This evening's event centers around an extended version of the group featuring special guests Mary Halvorson, Matt Moran, Satoshi Takeishi, and Ches Smith will replace Hollenbeck on drums, resulting in a star-studded septet whose members have worked with everyone from Anthony Braxton to Mr. Bungle to the Claudia Quintet. The group will be performing Hasselbring's new piece titled "Number Stations" inspired by shortwave radio stations that broadcast random series of five-digit numbers. Employed since the early 20th century, this technology has been widely believed to transmit coded messages for agents abroad. For this unique conceptual piece, each musician will be given tasks relating to working with and decoding five-digit numbers.
