I think I attended the same Palestine gig as Woebot - CP managed to snap a cpl of strings on the piano during the course of his performance, at first I thought some of the toys had fallen in the piano! at times you cld swear that CP was using backing tapes to generate his clouds of sound, but it...

In one of the late issues of RAW magazine there's a ...seminal... comic strip by McGuire called 'Here' that was a big influence on geezers like Seth and Chris Ware Ware recently edited the comic strip issue of MCSWEENEY'S that contains another, almost as gd comic strip by mcguire - this time in...

Re: "3-part Harmony Avant Bossa Folk" Yes! See also Airto/Hermato Pascoal/Mtume (all Miles Davis collaborators)/Carla Bley and most esp. Kip Hanrahan
