bruno- that's beautiful!

sidewalk killer is on "Don't Check Me With No Lightweight Stuff" (Blood & Fire) and on "Touting I Self" (Heartbeat)- i own both of these on CD, not sure about LP

Mick Karn (Japan)

Sabres of Paradise "Haunted Dancehall" is fantastic- one of my all-time favorites Two Lone Swordsmen "The Fifth Mission" is pretty great too.

i have a vinyl copy of "Con 3" - which also has his son on vocals. very nice LP- pop and noisy moments but with some almost "pastoral" moments (to my ears anyway) but from the description it sounds like "Conrad & Sohn" is much stranger. i also have the Berlin Express 12" ("The Russians are...

bruno- yes "ballet statique" is the title of the cd reisssue- with extra (later?) tracks - and the same artwork http://pretentious.net/The-Edge/schnitzler/ballet.htm

beginning with "Inventions for Electric Guitar" (1975) i think all of Gottsching's records have that chugging echo + sequencer that makes the music have that proto-techno feel- so "New Age of Earth", "Blackouts", "Correlations" (as mentioned by owen) and "Belle Alliance" are all worth checking...

in this thread i mention my favorite music reference book The Rough Guide to Reggae and i still wish there was something like that for every genre

it seems like it to me- but i sold my vinyl copy many years ago so i can't do a test

something blissblogger wrote reminded me of the recent reissue of King Crimson's "Lark Tongues in Aspic" i bought a few months ago- but the dynamics on this seem to have been exaggerated- the quiet parts are almost inaudible, and the louder parts are totally blasting. i can't say this really...

his early-ish short stories are a good place to start, at least they are my favorites of all his writings- i have this one- which came out in 1978- and is a really great selection, from "normal" sci fi to "why i want to fuck ronald reagan"

i'm in the middle of Madison Smartt Bell's triology about the slave revolt in Haiti- i'm almost done with the second volume (Master of The Crossroads) after reading the first (All Souls Rising) in about a week. I have the final book (The Stone That the Builder Refused) on the way to me. i had...

wow- those are beautiful.

i have that around here somewhere- i remember that the setting is close to the shaper/mechanist future- but also can't remember much beyond that

i've only read about half of sterling's books (the first half up to "the difference engine") and none of what i've read is as good as "Schismatrix"- though definitely worth reading. "islands in the net" is good- though it didn't stick with me like schismatrix did he also wrote some short...

i already own all the heldon stuff but now i need to track some Besombes down also enjoyed the defense of english prog!

i like "play" but having owned the "mississipi" album, i was a bit taken aback by the slick video, with banner wearing a suit surrounded by bright colors and hot sweaty girls exercising. it is quite a video... btw- the lyrics are changed to "let me see your body sweat" for airplay and it was a...

burt lancaster, burt reynolds, chuck connors, paul newman, steve mcqueen have all played indian (or half breed) heroes- lancaster and connors (as geronimo!) looking particularly odd as blue-eyed apaches...

i've always had a soft spot for "A Fistful of Dynamite"- even though Rod Steiger might just be the worst fake mexican in a western movie- which makes him the best in a way... i haven't seen it in a long time- i always remember liking it though... Man In The Wilderness is another good Richard...

have you heard Oscar Peterson? the "Night Train" Lp by his trio. straight and swinging but very subtle too
