Legends from across the Atlantic

I have a sympathy for old whiskered Europeans with horns. Enjoy. Peter Brotzman: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVsm3uZJ4cg&feature=related Evan Parker: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwnzVjq3_Jk&feature=related And more Brotzman with his Die Like a Dog Quartet: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLEyKsK770I&NR=1 I am a fan of a small margin at the margins of the already marginal avant-garde jazz called “European Free Improvisation.” Â It…

The AT

I’m planning this year’s Appalachian Trail sojourn. Anyone who wants to come along should leave me a comment below so I can arrange a date that’s amenable to all. I’ll probably take two separate trips — one in late spring (May?) and another about mid-summer (July?). Each trip will probably…

Eggs and stuff

What must they really think of us? The deviled eggs, someone said. She can never pass up deviled eggs. At 1 a.m. I was still stuffing dollar bills into eggs. Candy used to be good enough. Folding chairs in the church. Cars stretched in a line like ants down that…

Focus

Keys. Keys to what? Hover over them. Wait. Not yet. Not yet. Plugged in. Filter out. Metafilter. Meta-metafilter. We sit. We sit. We sit. Hover and tap. Churn. Hover, tap tap. The room is dark and cold. I cough and the room echoes. Somewhere else, far away, I dance casino…

New Project

The radio station that I listen to on my way into work is running a contest right now that is very Lichtenbergian. In honor of people who put off their taxes to the last minute, they are asking that people send in stories of procrastination. This can be a story…

Do we Lichtenbergians wish to help with this? No pressure — just asking. If we decide to do it, we should prepare special Lichtenbergian Society baskets. Whatever that means. Eggs with aphorisms? What would be appropriate? Whatever we do, if we do anything, let’s make sure people know who it’s…

March 11, 2008 New York Times North Hollywood, California. Camera bulbs flashed aplenty yesterday evening outside of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, but this was no star-studded gala or blockbuster movie premiere. No, the press turned out in droves to see a press conference held by an unknown comedian and comedy…

Really Terrible

Posted on March 9, 2008February 9, 2015 By dale

I was thinking that these guys might be Lichtenbergian, but two things give me pause: 1) we, for all our frivolity, never set out to be inadequate; we do care about the quality of our work.Â And 2) these guys have actually put together a world-renowned (of sorts) orchestra.Â I…
