notes:
-my first show of the new schedule. I think I'm gonna like the new time slot after your sax is my ax and before sink with cali.
-the new erase errata is so ridiculously good. definitely beter than other animals.
-the x-ecutions remix of charlie parker is amazing. they basically scratch along in rhythm to the various solos.
-komar & melamid are a pair of russian conceptual artists who made the most and least wanted paintings for various countries using statistical analysis a few years back. this did the same with music with the help of david soldier (the madman behind the thai elephant orchestra, amongst other things). the best parts were definitely the female operatic hiphop about how philosophy was meaningless and the recurring holiday jingles by children wanting you to shop at walmart ("yom kippur, yom kippur, do all your shopping...at walmart!"). and for a piece that they say will be liked by less than 200 people in the world, I sure got a lot of positive feedback.
-the mummies version of uncontrollable urge made me realize just how much that song sounds like a zeppelin song.

notes:
-max roach was recommended to me by thomas at the record exchange. definitely a good purchase
-I will stand by thelonious moog as a good, fun interperetation of monk. and as a response to a comment made on-air by greg a few weeks ago, I think that though lacy's versions may be artistically superior, they suffer from taking themselves too seriously. monks music isn't in any way serious. if you listen to the recordings he made for blue note, they all have a kind of bouncy lightheartedness that I see in the moog reinterperetations. or maybe I'm just really entertained by moogs doing other peoples' songs.

Brother JT - Mole in the Ground - Live on WPRB

notes:
-after 3 weeks in italy, I had to play some italian music to start the show. my family was all very excited to hear that I liked paolo conte. he sure beats the hell out of most music I heard while I was in italy, which mostly suffered from creed syndrome (the "I've had my asshole sewn shut for a year now" school of vocals). that and a lot of led zeppelin.
-linda perhacs is a wonderful folk/psych singer, a style which I have been enjoying a lot of lately.
-the mingus was played because I've been listening to it almost non-stop for a month and had to get it out of my system. definitely the best piece of large-ensemble jazz I've ever heard. the gershwin is in my opinion deeply connected, though the cincinnati pops version of it was not the best ever. unfortunately, that was all I had.
-I was recently informed that the correct name for black elf speaks is elvish presley
-props to jon solomon for having brother jt in. what a great live set.
