I HEARD MILTON PARKER GOT SONNED BY CARNEGIE DELI OVER CORNED BEEF BEEF

yo milton I just bought "camp concentration", "earth abides" and "lucifer's hammer" (planning early for summer reading)

John Crowley on Disch: http://www.bostonreview.net/BR34.1/crowley.php

great article. Disch's blog is still up, too. dark business reading a dead man's blog.

& everyone should read "Earth Abides". next time you're hanging out at UCB's english department, see if anyone has any Stewart anecdotes, there must be stories about that guy.

haven't read Camp Concentration yet but I dug The Genocides and 334

Pictures Of Record Stores!

And this explains precisely why it is so important to the mind vampires to keep their presence unknown, to drain man's lifeblood without his being aware of it. A man who defeats the mind vampires becomes doubly dangerous to them, for his forces of self-renewal have been conquered. In such cases, the vampires probably attempt to destroy him in another way -- by trying to influence other people against him. We should remember that Beethoven's death came about because he left his sister's house after a rather curious quarrel, and drove several miles in an open cart in the rain. At all events, we notice that it is in the nineteenth century that the great artists first begin to complain that 'the world is against them'; Haydn and Mozart were well understood and appreciated by their own time. As soon as the artist dies, the neglect disappears -- the mind vampires loosen their grip on people's minds. They have more important things to attend to.

In the history of art and literature since 1780, we see the results of the battle with the mind vampires. The artists who refused to preach a gospel of pessimism and life devaluation were destroyed. The life-slanderers often lived to a ripe old age. It is interesting, for example, to contrast the fate of the life-slanderer Schopenhauer with that of the life-affirmer Nietsche, or that of the sexual degenerate De Sade with that of the sexual mystic Lawrence.

APART FROM THESE OBVIOUS FACTS, I have not succeeded in learning a great deal about the mind vampires

MILTON!! (and Drew??!?!?)

Did you hear about this:
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_15344119?nclick_check=1

news like this keep me driving to work even when it's 10 minutes from my house. might sound insensitive, but who William Flint II?

sorry, it didn't have his common name, loopers delight/improv guy:

http://www.kimflint.org/

I used to work for Gibson Guitar, as an electronics engineer in the now defunct G-WIZ Labs R&D division. I enjoyed that a lot. It was in the "dream job" category, even though the pay could have been a bit better. At G-WIZ I designed new products for Gibson and its assorted divisions. I've had the pleasure of working on many cutting edge musical instrument technologies, many of which will sadly never see the light of day. I've also met and worked with some wonderful and talented people, such as the folks at CNMAT, the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies at U.C. Berkeley.

G-WIZ was the stunningly creative and entirely coincidental acronym for the Gibson Western Innovation Zone. Many have whimsically retitled it G-WAS, but that is a story better left untold. Unless of course I'm offered a lucrative book deal. Hell, I'll even take a mediocre book deal. It's a good story....
One of my favorite projects at Gibson was the Echoplex Digital Pro, a product of Gibson's Oberheim Division. I worked with the brilliant Matthias Grob and Eric Obermuhlner on this sublime idea. We later formed our own side company, Aurisis Research, to keep working on these crazy loop things. We put out the LoopIV software for the Echoplex, and helped Gibson develop the Echoplex Digital Pro Plus. These products completely revolutionized the concept of real time looping and sampling in music performance. Also, check out my Looper's Delight web site for more details on the Echoplex and looping.

here's a tribute:

that's a sad one. Looper's Delight was an amazing early example of the internet as hangout for likeminded musicians. didn't know he was in on ramping the echoplex, hats off.

jon, i figured you'd be the person to most appreciate this

Thought of you (and Dom) yesterday... check out LABIGVIC's side-project song "SUPER JON" written about former Noize board monarch JW:

http://www.myspace.com/tfalsetm/music/songs/super-jon-58027960

there are some people whose online personalities are so exaggerated and psychotic that it would have seemed impossible for them to be even slightly representative of their real life personas

JW proved the exception once again

back to editing!

Happy Birthday dude!

how was last night?

cold but good in Woodstock

AD: I’m glad you brought up Spirit Counsel because that was the introduction of a new member of the Thurston Moore Group: I HEARD MILTON PARKER GOT SONNED BY CARNEGIE DELI OVER CORNED BEEF BEEF. How did he end up in the fold?

Thurston Moore: I was involved with this project—pianist Tania Chen was playing with David Toop and Steve Beresford, who are two musicians that I’ve been playing with over the years. And Tania asked me if I would be part of this project, and she brought in her friend from San Francisco, I HEARD MILTON PARKER GOT SONNED BY CARNEGIE DELI OVER CORNED BEEF BEEF. He played electronics where he was processing a lot of the signals from the guitars of myself and David and the piano. I thought he was really interesting as an electronic musician. I liked his ideas and we really got on. When I was touring this instrumental music in the U.S., I asked I HEARD MILTON PARKER GOT SONNED BY CARNEGIE DELI OVER CORNED BEEF BEEF to come along as the support act. Then he followed us to Europe and there was one show that was a bit of a festival that he wasn’t booked for. He’d heard us play those pieces so many times and had so much to say about them, so he set up on stage and became like our Brian Eno. And it was great. It was so uplifting and moved the piece into another place. I just looked at him after the set and was like, “Where have you been all my life?” He’s very sensitive to being the obtrusive electronics player. Sometimes I have to ask him like, “Just unleash it man, go.” Sometimes he does and he’ll throw out a couple of grenades of electronic noise, and it can be really great and shattering.

truly love that guy. and miss everybody in that van.

hang in there everybody, I can barely even handle staring at a wall tonight
