notes:
-black orpheus is a wonderful brazilian movie from 1959, retelling the orpheus myth set in rio. the soundtrack is a bunch of great early bossa nova by luiz bonfa, antonio carlos jobim and joao gilberto. if you haven't seen this movie, you should. now
-betty davis is amazing, dirty, heavy funk from 1973. wow
-I'm really enjoying all the new stuff on flying bomb
-george antheil saved my show from spinning out of control. this piece is a 15 minute setting of a yeats poem by nj's addition to modernist music in the 1920s. not quite as amazing as ballet mechanique (which jannon played earlier that day), but still really great.
-yes, that is a piece by ezra pound. he actually composed a pair of really strange operas using texts from 15th century european poets. this one uses francois villon, a french poet. very odd stuff
-racebannon is my favorite record so far this year
-calls: 1. a guy who was very excited by the betty davis, wanting to know what it was. 2. the guy who requested kraftwerk yelling at me for playing the wrong track (this isn't the first time this guy has called when I haven't played the exact song that he wanted. what's his deal?) 3. jon solomon telling me about a george antheil festival in trenton a month ago. 4. jon smith making sure he had marked a track correctly.
