Now for the first time, after almost 30 years, having done re-arrangements and deconstructions of Raymond Scott, Billy Strayhorn, Thelonious Monk, Steve Lacy, Herbie Nichols, and others, with my groups The Microscopic Septet & Big Trouble, I've gotten together with my friend Gary Lucas, to do something with the music of Captain Beefheart." The ensemble's repertoire (which is still growing) is drawn from the entire range of Beefheartiana, from 'Safe As Milk' through 'Ice Cream For Crow', (and concentrating heavily on 'Troutmaskreplica'.) Fast 'n' Bulbous is about to release an album, and to celebrate it, they're playing a live set on WFMU at 4 PM/ the set was outstanding! (well, i thought so anyway.) it's streaming in glorious 96kbps mp3 for the next two weeks at http://wfmu.org/listen.m3u?show=13454&archive=17217&starttime=1:06:36 or eternally in basic realaudio at http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=13454&archive=17216&starttime=1:06:36 nooyawkers, they're playing at the bowery poetry club (right across the street from cbgb's) this friday at 10pm. check it out. (if things run late at the mercury lounge as per usual, i should be able to catch this before 50' wave at 11pm -- woo!) woj - -- END LEFT LANE PROHIBITION ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 13:27:33 -0600 From: Aaron Lowe Subject: Re: Jew vs. Judiast At 12:24 PM 12/14/2004, Jason R.

Thanks for this distinction. I was not aware of it. I was using the term "ethnicity" to try to *exclude* religion from consideration. I guess what I really meant, after all, was "race."

Aha! This ethnic group used to be called "idiots" but it became a slur, then they changed the name to "mentally retarded". Then when "retarded" became a slur they changed it to "mentally challenged". When kids started accusing each other of being "challenged" as a slur they threw up their hands and just started calling it Attention Deficit Disorder and prescribing Ritalin for it. And so it goes.... I have no offensive statements on tits or asses, being equally in favour of both.

Never mind the nonsensical translation, but note in the first line of the character descriptions it lists their BLOOD TYPES. This series, Genshiken, is about otaku, and the girl listed next to last is a kogal. The blonde girl, a non-member but interested in the blonde guy in the background, is being menaced with a pair of neko mimi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kogal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neko_mimi More fun and educational than playing Spot the Jew. - - Steve __________ Dedicated students of obstetrics will observe that Elizabeth Cheney's birth date falls precisely nine months and two days after the Selective Service publicly revoked its policy of not drafting childless husbands. This would seem to indicate that the Cheneys, though doubtless planning to have children sometime, were seized with an untamable passion the moment Dick Cheney became vulnerable to the Vietnam draft. And acted on it. Carpe diem!

Our news now turns to a darkened theatre stage, as Johnny Marr recently confirmed through his official website that both he and Morrissey have given their thumbs-up to the long-rumored musical based around seminal british pop band The Smiths. Written by fans Andrew Wale and Perrin Manzer Allen, the musical is set to feature 20 Smiths songs performed by a string quartet, with vocal and acting duties handled by a cast of six. The show is tentatively going under the title "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others", and associate producer Michael Brazier offered the following preview of what to expect. "It is not a linear story. There will be action going on stage-- whether its dance or movement or acting without words depends on the scene. Sometimes the song-- and what the singer is saying in the song-- will be the main line of action. But other times when you are concentrating on the singer, out of the corner of your eye you will be seeing impressionistic goings-on elsewhere on the stage. The significance of that [action] will become clear later. The meaning of these clues will gradually reveal themselves." We have no fucking idea what any of that is supposed to mean. snipped from: ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
