CDs from library:
The Flying Luttenbachers - Revenge
pretty cool. i see where the No Doctors came from, with hard to pin down guitars and rocky beats. It could use some yelly mic-in-mouth vox though.
Philip Glass - Glassworks
eh...heard it all before...then it repeated itself. the "dance" pieces do a lot more for me than the ponderous opening tracks. i am so over this stuff. (except when Kronos plays it).
Jelly Roll Morton - 1923-24
ok pretty good but got annoying, all sounded same after a while, and a little too happy. it's him solo on the piano playing his jazz standards. i like the liner notes, talking about how rad New Orleans jazz is compared to the civilized Dixie stuff. it also emphasizes the importance of melody, which i'm working on in my stuff.
Some classical guitarist plays Vivaldi's Concerto in C and some other things with an orchestra -
The instrumentation alone turns me off on a lot of this. i'm sorry but it sounds so canned. at least the music is lively. Vivaldi is vivid, vivacious and voracious. i do a couple of his pieces on violin.
merzbow - dharma.
yeah, i vacuumed a couple months ago and though i didn't record that, or the sound of my microwave and static on the TV, i pretty much got my fill. this is an aural enema.
