Subject:      I can hear the alarm clock now...


For those of you, sitting at the edge of your seats, worried
and wondering when I'll return to being employed and
miserable again, well, the wait is over. I'm now offically
employed by Woman & Infants' hospital in Providence, RI!
Actually, I'm pretty excited about it. I've met a lot of wonderful
people during the interview process, and there is a lot of room
for me to grow (to sound a little cliche'). And coming from my
previous environment at Data General, this place is paradise.
I can't believe it myself, but I actually can't wait to start working.
One downer though, from what I've been able to surmise, there is
no Internet access, but there is a network connection to BrownU,
so I'll have to follow up on that. But, more importantly, for those
of you familiar with the Providence area (Jenna?), where are the
best bars? :)

Now back to the music...

well, maybe. homeground (the more or less unofficial font of knowledge
for all things KaTe - it's a fanzine run out of somewhere near london)
says that the album will be out this year sometime. of course, KaTe
said in 1989 that the album would be ready at the end of 1990. i don't
believe anything she says about timing anymore until the release is in
my hands. i will concede that the rumors are flying far and wide all
of a sudden though.

I would also like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate
Tim Johnson for his clear, articulate defense of the English language in
the face of those (primarily in academia) who would submerge its meanings
in the sewers of relativism.

And I'd like to remind Scott that it's pointless to blame "capitalism" for
killing the good bookstore; people, fortunately or unfortunately, buy what
they want. If they want to be ignorant and buy junk, that's what they'll do.
No law can change that, and there SHOULDN'T be one attempting to try.

I tend to agree with woj... I seldom use noise reduction when I'm dubbing

Nah.... bob is just being cranky and bob just needs to get laid. ;*)  I say
reduce the noise about noise reduction and just be happy with what we get --
which is a nice 3-tape compilation of some really cool music to peruse.  If
noise reduction is a big issue with any one tune, then go out and buy the damn
CD and get optimum sound.  Us dubbers have neither the time nor the inclination
to argue about this.  This is really turning out to be more difficult than it
needs to be...

well, my stance at this point borders on uncaring now. i don't really care
what the label scum (tm) call "alternative" cos i listen to whatever i dang
well feel like. i've just gotten tired of screaming and yelling about this
is alternative and this is not, so i just sorta gave up on it. if someone
i know wants to broaden their musical horizons, i'm more than happy to help
out, but i no longer have the energy to do that forcibly (imagine, if you
will, a chair with straps surrounded by speakers...carol's new sex toy? no.
it's the musical indoctrination center in my basement!).

the semantics are only important if you are on a crusade to free the minds
of the 120 minuteheads. i just don't bother anymore. if they are comfortable
in their delusion that alternative rock is the end-all be-all of whatever
it is that alternative is, so be it. if they aren't, well, sooner or later,
they'll walk in to my apartment when i'm playing henry cow, ingrid karklins,
miladoiro or folk music from newfoundland.

your disgruntlement is noted and reasonable, but i can't bring myself to get

Marsha,
   Thanks for the support, but I do sing now.  In fact, I sing about half

singer if I hadn't been disuaded from singing for those 20 years.  It irks

15 years ago when I picked up the guitar, rather than 3 years ago purely

Is contrition good for the soul? Or is it confetti? In any case, my

favourite one of my own favourite pieces, namely Stravinsky's _Agon_.
I can't understand why this piece isn't better known. It's on a par
with Sacre & Petrushka, and one of the most amazing dance scores I know.
Not to, uh, open a can of worms, but do you have a favourite recording?
(Ole Leadears never recorded this one, to my knowledge.)

Short Fuse Blues is the title, He also plays slide "overhand" instead of

Favorite musician?  Well, I would have to say the Pet Shop Boys, although,
Depeche Mode does rank up there.  Of course, I love electronic music,
especailly music that sets an atmosphere.  The Pet Shop Boys lyrics just
pertain too much to my life, so it makes the band more enjoyable to me.

yes, in fact some people insist that the 50s Miles is his greatest.

of course, those are the people who live in the 50s jazz forever.
Jazz stopped somewhere in the middle of a Coltrane solo....

great stuff though, Workin, Steamin, Cookin' and Relaxin' have Coltrane
and Red Garland, Mr. PC, and Philly Joe Jones.  There's others too.
I am not sure if there were some sessions with Monk, there were some,
but I don't know if they are on Prestige.  I think there was one on
December 24, and there was an argument that broken out between Monk and
Miles.  They talk about it on the NRP radio project.  If so, Monk takes
a gem of a solo on a blues, not sure if it is Bag's Groove, but a medium
slow blues in F.

I don't know to what extent, but I think if it came down to blows, Monk
could have taken Miles.

I hear the best fighter in jazz is Elvin Jones.  Even though he is in
his 60, nobody should mess with him.

The only thing about waiting, don't wait too long, things have a way of
going out of print and disappearing in this world.  There ought to be a
Miles credit card, to be used only for buying Miles recordings.

I would say R & R is pumped up enhanced (good or bad your choice) Blues, which

Accordiung to me, there is no such thing as "Alternative" music anymore since
"alternative" music is pretty mainstream today.
        I listen to such bands as the Butthole Surfers, Nomeansno, Negativland,
Sucking
 Chest Wound, Psychic TV, etc... but I would hesitate calling them
"alternative" because by today's definition, they aren't.

For real alternative music, listen to something from the real "Alternative"
label, Alternative Tentacles.

Not knowing anything about Oh Calcutta, I will mention that Peter
Schickele does write serious music under his own name, as well as not-
so-serious stuff under the "PDQ Bach" pseudonym.  In fact, I've heard
a rumor that he's giving up doing PDQ Bach and concentrating on his
more serious stuff.

For what it's worth, I got PDQ Bach's "Oedipus Tex and other choral
calamities" over Christmas break.  Pretty fun...the title piece is
pretty fun, as is a choral cantata entitled "Knock Knock".
