well, that isn't totally accurate. i'm listening to a song by bob dylan with that title. its a great song.
today carl and i went to tower records to check out the latest stuff in the 'experimental section' we decided on an old recording from 1966 by AMM, an experimental ensemble that Cornelius Cardew was involved with. we were wholeheartdly disappointed. i knew it was coming but for some reason i didn't speak up when we were at the store. anyhow. it's fairly dreadful, the music. carl has gone from feeling very angry and cheated, to feeling very angry and violent to finding hope that he might be able to return it to coming to grips with the music itself by reading the notes on the inside sleeve. i think i like where he is now. i told him what cardew would say about the music. carl has the right to be angry. he should be angry. we should all be angry about this music. i think the next thing he would say is to make others aware of that fact.
i've been mulling over new subject matter for a magazine since i shutdown sexymonkey. i'm most interested in the art music world right now. simply because i am a musician. but most importantly, i am concerned with the new music scene. there is little coverage for it, there is not much of a community. the best there is are a scattering of web journals. i think that if i can put a magazine together that brings the music and the community together, on a very non-confrontational level, it could work. i am almost afraid to delve into details, as if i get many readers other than maybe catherine, since i think they are so good that someone would steal them.
well, i'm going to go through with it. it's not going to be an online magazine like sexymonkey. i'm ready to go to the next level. i'm ready to involve big bucks and an office space. i've got a lot of planning to do this summer.
