Maybe some early electronic music and musique concrete, for example Vareses "Poeme Electronique" or "Etudes aux chemin de fer" by Pierre Schaeffer. They use "non-musical" sounds but are quite obviously composed.

In general that's true. But Fantagraphics have recently published three Jaques Tardi albums in English for very reasonable prices, all very good. In the last Previews they announced that they'll publish his "Adele Blanc-Sec" albums too, one of my favourite comic series of all times.

swears, you're not embarrassing yourself at all. I was recently diagnosed with depression and will start therapy soon. Just being open about that has a positive effect on me, nearly everybody I've talked to about it could tell me a story about depression, sometimes about someone close to them...

I think it's important to find some good sources you can trust and don't think much about the rest, not only for music but for any kind of information. No need to check the new arrivals of 10 online shops and a long list of mp3 blogs that only give you a copy of the promo text and a rapidshare...

Just switch off the computer for a bit and listen to some records on a proper stereo.

Yes! I love them. I reread the books not too long ago and they are still great. If anybody has recommendations for books in a similar direction, I'd like to hear them.

I've spent some time recording birds over the last few months. Nothing fancy or serious, basically just getting up really early and going for a walk with a recorder, it's fun. By doing this I noticed how very noisy our surroundings are. I live in a small town and when I go out in the fields or...

Someone should put out a new nicely edited collection of this stuff. I have a nice german edition of Le Garage Hermétique that I revisited recently, hilarious and so beautiful.

That was probably Arzach. Classic stuff, but avoid it if you want a concise and coherent science fiction plot, it's more like psychedelic dream sequences.

ipod? :cool:

I'm currently trying to translate Capricorne by Andreas from french for myself. It's about 15 years since I read more than two french sentences in a row, it's fucking slow. But also fun.

very good

Last week I was at the Oval+Zeitrkratzer concert I mentioned above. First Popp played solo, then he played together with Zeitkratzer tracks from the upcoming album and then there was a part with Zeitkratzer playing 4 compositions of their own. The Oval bits consisted mostly of sampled acoustic...

I don't think so. Moore's target audience are mostly adults (not kids) with enough knowledge about comics that they can recognize the reference to Winsor McCay. But he is usually just celebrated as one of the great pioneers of comics, and as far as I know there is not much critical discussion of...

Tell them they have to play in Germany again soon, I'll get them some weed (and I don't even smoke myself). Surely among my favourite concert experiences of the last 10 years. I remember dragging a friend to a Todd show who is really oblivious to this kind of thing, and after witnessing their...

I still love some of that stuff, Cows, Unsane, Tar, Hammerhead, early Helmet ... undestroyable.

here's the label blurb: http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/index.html?id=104798

I know they played MMM (not sure if it's a string quartet, I haven't heard it). According to this it's a cooperation, so I think they're actually playing together.

In about two weeks Oval is playing with the Zeitkratzer ensemble in Cologne and I plan to go. Don't know really what to expect, but this could be good :D
