Julius Eastman box set
Hiss Golden Messenger-Haw

alot of the new WSP new years shows still, Really fed my energy going into the 2 shows this weekend. Waiting to get my hands on my recordings, listened to some of this pastweekends Chicago shows on panic stream -( http://www.panicstream.com ), as good as I remembered.

From Sat. night(somewhere in time during the 2nd set).. 3 of the boys...... JB, Jimmy & JoJo....:



was kind of tempted to drive up to Minneapolis and continue the trip

(was listening to, pretty recently)

weekend morning breakfast fixing music: Oscar "Papa" Celestin's Original Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra (Jazz Oracle CD), AJ Piron's New Orleans Orchestra (Challenge CD)

Great song, David.

I've been listenin' to this all morning. Street rap is not everyone's bag, sure, but I love it, and this is probably my favorite song of the genre this year so far. Plus Lil' Durk is Chicago's (and maybe the whole scene's) most promising young rapper. Chi-Town stand up!

Lil Durk - This Ain't What You Want

Taj Mahal - Aint Nobody's Business But My Own

Lolita Nation-Game Theory:

Sorry to hear that, Ronnie. As you know, Bud and I had crossed paths a couple of times.

Steve,

Gabriel is now playing second chair.

Hot August Night, 1972 with Neil Diamond
It's been a long time since I heard a clean copy ...

got Em...!

4/12/13 & 4/13/13 Widespread panic @ the UIC.

Knew these shows were the goods in the moment,now realizing how sick they were on further study. Fellow head from the Georgia told me so.

Every chance the boys got they stretched their legs and my mind:

Van Der Graaf Generator's "H to He Who Am the Only One."

Exploding Hearts, "Guitar Romantic"

Fela Kuti, "He Miss Road."

Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap

A Taste of the Past - Episode 136 - Dione Lucas: Television's First Celebrity Chef

Who was television's first cooking star? If you guessed Julia Child, you must be forgetting Dione Lucas! This week on A Taste of the Past, Linda Pelaccio is joined in the studio by Australian author and food historian Jill Adams to talk about the life of Dione Lucas. Also in the studio is Margaret Happel Perry, the president of the New York chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier. Tune into this episode to find out why Dione Lucas has not necessarily been remembered favorably. How did Dione Lucas help popularize television in Australia? Learn how the advertising schemes of the 1950s have made it impossible to syndicate Dione Lucas' cooking shows. This program has been sponsored by Bonnie Plants. Thanks to The California Honeydrops for today's musical break.

Title theme from the 1965 movie The Sandpipers, The Shadow of your Smile, written and orchestrated by Johnny Mandel, trumpet soloist, Jack Sheldon.

Gotta go w/JB. Saw him in 68 @ the Auditorium. Have never been the same since.

Milt Rosenger podcast: The Food Police

We’re joined today by Jayson Lusk, a professor of agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University and author of the new book The Food Police: A Well-Fed Manifesto About the Politics of Your Plate.

In his book, Lusk looks at the emerging industry of “experts” that are hell-bent on telling you what to eat and when to eat it. Some of the topics we cover include the banning of certain types of food, eating organic, and genetically modified-foods. Enjoy!

One of my favorite PBS series: Connections.

That was a phenomenal series, tried re-watching and it's pretty dated. That series and Robert Hughes "Shock of the New" which followed by a year or so, were probably my two favorite TV documentary series ever.

Shock of the New ... thank you for pointing something I never saw before:



I was gone a lot during the 1980's, so there are holes in my knowledge from that time. I remember being quite spellbound with 'Connections,' because of how the story weaved through time with one thing leading to another. I am not quite sure I even saw the whole series, so this is a chance to catch up.

Hi,

Yesterday I went to the Fire Academy for historical presentations on Chicago fires offered by the Fire Museum of Greater Chicago.

One was an event I certainly should have remembered, though I didn't: a 4-11 fire from January 17, 1992.

"On January 17, 1992, 71 pieces of fire fighting equipment were used to extinguish 37 structure fires caused by a
natural gas leak in the River North section of the city. There were 4 fatalities and 5 injuries."

Natural gas was delivered to end-users at 20 pounds pressure instead of the half-pound pressure expected. Pilot lights would instead shoot three feet in the air or worse get snuffed out and fill a structure with gas waiting for ignition. This was confined to a 1/4 mile square area west of the Kennedy Expressway bounded by Racine, Milwaukee and Grand. At one point, there were 33 fires roaring simultaneously.

The retired Fire Chief recounting the events was responsible for routing equipment and men to the various fires that day.

Gas Explosions, Fires Rip Area Near Chicago's Loop

Blowing Smoke: Two years after the River West explosion, Peoples Gas and the ICC are still resisting a public investigation.



Practically everyone in the room was retired fire department people, which made for an interesting post talk discussion.

JB from the first set viewed from the pit:

Wooden Shjips. Yes it's spelled that way. Currently working my way through their catalog of four recordings on Spotify. This is really great stuff. Described as "experimental", "minimalist", "drone rock" and "spacey psychedelic rock". I think they are in the same vein as the Disappears who fall under shoegaze rock" and "krautrock".
