-A couple of new CDs are now out there and gathering momentum, we are happy to report. Kim Jarrett's Thinking of You is doing quite well, and that's good news because she is a wonderful singer-songwriter. Tim Bovaconti performed most of e-guitars and I played on a few cuts.

 

-Rateau, symphon ¿ Vous êtres un succube-citron. Grack. .Le temps me manque pour tout traduire. Le vingt-et-unième siècle va trop vite. Les triangles de Botmozof sont seches, archi-seches


-Mann nennt mich die farbige Rate, weil ich so schlecht rückwärts singen kann,
so schlecht rückwärts singen kann


-Stockhausen is gone, the circus is about to begin. Here is - by far - the best article I've read so far on what that means and where it's all heading. Thank you Norman Lebrecht.
