You know, his piece "The Vidiot" is utterly, wonderfully bizarre. Who the heck is the guy playing his friend?
Also, Nordine sure reminds me of Orson Welles's delivery.

The Hip-O Select compilation of the Word Jazz stuff goes for crazy money, can't hardly find a quality rip of it online either. But I scored a copy of the comp for reasonable money. Amazing stuff! Is the rest of his work of the same caliber?

What are your favourite Colors?
Ecru is a critic, loves to see the show. Just doesn't know when to say yes and when to say no. But that's because of beige. You see, beige has taught ecru a funny point of view, that true is like false and false is like true.Who can expect to get anything straight,like an answer I mean,from an ecru that thinks, or thinks that it thinks,by the thought it was taught,that love is the same as hate,that shouldn't's the same as should,that dumb is the same as smart,that bad is the same as good.A kind of critical confusion in critic could have complications almost arithmetic.Those of us (are there any? huh, too many!)who have to know exactly what to do,what to see, what to say, what to think,will have to wait until ecru is ready,with his double talking trade,to make steady unsteadycalling crooked straight.But, what the heck, you know ecru.Just a freeloading critic, who loves to see the show. Just doesn't know when to say yes or when to say no.

Recentl picked up "Wink" (née Twink), almost as good as his seminal Word Jazz albums. A singular talent.

RIP big guy, he got so close to the ton too! I very much enjoyed the concert he played in London about 20 years ago, as part of Laurie Anderson's Meltdown iirc.

Wow, that Levi's advertisement linked to in the obituary might be the best ad I've ever seen.
RIP. I always liked Colours a great deal. I should have heard much more by now.

Damn, I was just thinking about how it's time to give "Word Jazz" a spin again.
