Heh. Actually, you probably don't, since my REAL job is as a systems analyst, and I'm currently up to my eyeballs in 15-20 year old COBOL code that has to be made Y2K compliant. Argh. If it wasn't for my sideline "jobs" as DJ, radio guy and music writer, I'd probably fucking lose it. ALthough they can often be nearly as stressful, so... Anyway, Andrew already provided the track list. I'll just add that Mr. Porcini himself came down to my show last night and despite being very ill with a flu bug, he was a really nice fella. Did a short interview type thing and played some cuts from the record. I'll transcribe the interview for the website sometime soonish. Also got a really, really advance CD-R of some cuts from the Herbaliser album due out in the spring. Just gave it a quick listen on the way to work this morning, and it sounds pretty dope. Greg

well, you'd better watch out to then! hehehehe... I understand why you guys get them and fully deserve them. You guys probably talk more about their stuff than they do :) Thanks for the tracklisting, and again, to all, the two tracks exclusive are well worth it. teenage hardon is super laid back, funky ass hell pimp music. its badass. it'll make you feel like cheif in seconds. Endless, the 3rd and 2nd exclusive track is very nice too, more in the vein of purrfect. The ninja's got a feel to them and for me, funki porcini just always hits that mark. Totally fun, totally cheesy and sleazy and top notch.

According to the insanely detailed unofficial SNL site www.saturday-night-live.com, Sun Ra appeared on May 20, 1978 - the final show of the 77/78 season. The Comedy Network up here repeats old SNLs a couple of times a day, Jeff, so you may be able to catch it sometime. I don't know if they show them in order, but the last one I caught a couple of weeks ago was from the mid 80s (the Murphy/Piscopo/etc. years). Greg

is that "space is the place" by john szwed? i took his class on the history of jazz. his brain is in hypertext, i swear, there's more information in there than in ten people. it's not very idm, but i highly recommend the book to anyone with an interest in jazz. or good music writing. never heard of his SNL appearance though! wow...that's a trip. meandering uselessly without my coffee, rob

I'm taking a course from him now on "Sound and Phonography." It's quite bizarre, but really interesting. It deals with all sorts of sound philisophical issues stemming from the recorded nature of modern sound... We get to listen to the KLF and Scanner for credit, and he promises to get Thurston Moore to talk to us. Szwed is an odd man... he knows more random facts than anybody, but he can't always make anything logical out of them. That was the problem with huis Sun Ra book. All sorts of random anecdotes from ouyt of nowhere. The descriptions of the music itself were a bit lacking. But still a worthwhile read. Sam
