let's see, that's $1.23 per minute
Ornette Coleman Birthday Special, 24 hrs. This morning, I checked into "Focus On Sanity," and many more from The Shape of Jazz To Come. Had to go out, came back to a big dipper of Science Ficton, and now--back to "Focus On Sanity," and more from The Shape of Jazz To Come to come. Oh well, I'll stick with it for a while. Tomorrow, The Bix Beiderbecke Birthday Special (is there enough of that for 24 hours?), and this Tuesday's Afternoon New Music showcase is Carl Stone---stream it all here: http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/

Yeah, you can see that from the beach. In the winter people walk out on a long pier, where there is a hot tub/sauna deal inside, and you sit in it and sweat and then go outside and jump in the freezing water. I was too chicken to do it, but it sounds like it would be amazing.
Also, you can buy a train ticket for $20 that takes you over the water straight to Copenhagen in under 30 minutes.

this is the probably a terribly stupid thing to say, but after the malasian airline disaster, i'm not inclined to go -- or support my family going -- anywhere via plane for a while. so don't feel bad about chickening-out of the hot-tub/freezing water combination.

Listening to that xpost Bix Beiderbecke Birthday: right now, he sounds like the Fred Astaire of cornet on "Singin' The Blues," Frankie Trambauer's Orchestra, with Eddie Lang on guitar. Now they're adding Joe Venuti on violin. Somebody on bass sax?

Back to WKCR listening--started in the middle of "Darul Kabap," which the host said had started in "kind of a free jazz vein," what I heard was voices/languages and instruments maybe from different Asian countries, or different parts of the same Asian country, bobbing in the harbor around noon, thoughtful and salty, then rude bursts of bass you learn to wait for, then glitch-pop scythes and cycles---basically speeded up r&b, and/or j-pop? glitch-pop fevah, but off-handed too. This guy:

Now one with Japanese female singer, unaccompanied, perfectly at home, unselfconscious; he (eventually)slips in some grainy mirror images, like Tuvan throat singing, then simplifies, just letting his touch linger on some syllables occasionally, then little swoops toward the end of lines, underscoring, kind of like Laurie Anderson's "Oh Superman," but with different effect (maybe because I don't know Japanese), morphing into really sweet, deft strokes of harmony---now arpeggiated notes (somewhat like Robert Wyatt's ladytron) squelch into Japanese-accented "Oops I Did It Again," but underwater cool, darting---hookiness avoiding the shaken pole of the impatient fisherman, but not leaving; in fact, grooving with and through the keys, and (it was two pieces: the first was actually a Vietnamese singer--not catching the titles, but both from Al-Noor) Now a couple things he calls acid bop pieces, though he doesn't like acid jazz. Starts good.

The keyboard's making the best, ugliest sounds, though the guitar's helping. The more freeform they get the better; otherwise (voice x all instruments) does get--yep--predictable (rammaramaaOhrammmaIDontCareramamamram)

)The keyboard player, Shaun described how he samples the band, then plays it back through tape delay, screwing with the pitch, also tours on his own as The Pretengineer, or something like that. Bloody good. Interviews lasted longer than the set, while Eagulls set up, but worth the wait: a much fuller, deeper, more robust ensemble sound than Perfect Pussy, though just as, ah, vintage--damn, that bass! Get Shaun in there and it would be outrageous.

Missed Kelis (hope some of these will be posted, as has happened for prev SXSW and other festival sets on NPR), but back as St. Vincent begins with the one about taking off her clothes and walking around in the desert at night, then running from a snake (true story). Twisting her guitar quite a bit.

Yowee. St Vincent w Toko Yasuda, keyboards, vocals, bass; also a drummer and another keyboard player way back there, at least when Yasuda stepped out with her bass, especially for some prog-metal toward the end. Rocking art rock, at times close to warp-toned Zep (with some early King Crimson,also late, no middle). Concise, though. New songs, supposedly more straight-forward, fit with old, as lyrics came off like marginalia, flying notes to self, bits of her self-cited "Joan Didion-esque" persona's elliptical clarity; ditto Marilyn Monroe's writing ("Surgeon" inspired by the latter). Stage show hyper-focused,floaty(rockin').Albarn can't follow; don't think I'll stay awake for that (maybe they'll post his and hers).Set List for St. Vincent:

Think the persona she described is or was meant to be "Joan Didion-esque middle-aged woman on the verge," but on this occasion she also seemed to enjoy being young, eerie (buzzword of our age, after all), hot and dead(pan).

Also, as Houston Press blogger Chris Grey described her show better and earlier this week:the mechanistic robo-funk of the rhythm section versus the overwhelming omnichords of the synthesizers or the shards of post-punk guitar versus that delicate little dance she yeah, yeah.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Haus der Luege
this was one of the first albums that i bought after i got my first record player circa 2004 or so. i bought it on a whim (possibly inspired by the horse ejaculating with eyes wide openo n the cover) and wasn't really into it at the time. finally gave it an honest listen today, and the second side is pretty astonishing! especially the 3-part "Fiat Lux", which is amazing and ambient, totally not what I was expecting from Neubauten.
