That's great Jon ! Glad it arrived --seems to have taken an age. Hope you like it.

Enjoy a bit of a break too, afforded at this hibernation time :)

best wishes
Laurence

Make something "terrible", jon! Make four or so long pages of your tape transfers...they are "terrible". Then add that they are from Alexander's visit to Dallas. Then go and make ONLY 12 copies(photocopies are fine) and send them to us. We are waitinggggg, and we wait because we know it will be "terrible". (Then don't sign up for Cheryl's new one: 26"...that menas 26 copies of a boekie.AACK). you can do it...before Christmas even! This weekend, go, go,go!

Hi Jon,
Yeah, I know what you mean about the Who. I haven't liked them for about 35 years (since about 1972). The early mod stuff in the 1960's by them was incredibly powerful - although on the records they were much more subdued. That first show I saw was this: Eric Burden and the Animals, Moody Blues, The Who and the Chocolate Watchband (who was later called the Strawberry Alarm Clock - remember "Incense and Peppermints"?) This was in a Department store in Oakland, CA. I loved the Who from those days. Guess You had to be there. I'll be making something for you to listen to soon. Thanks again for that great CD - Listening to it right now as I write this.

'Got a SNOW day here in Greece too! Schools are closed, though i am retired this year, so everyday is a snow-day, how nice it is! Yes, i really like the Rembrandt eye, and all the transfers are great...texture, transparencies and paper!

By the way, Jon, did you send off your "Alexander" in the mail yet? Me just waiting here for the others so I can  start to make the "book". Alexandros o Megas (as we call him here) just wants to know!

Hiya Jon,

Thanks for the friendship and that fabulous CD. The power was off yesterday when I received it, so I listened to it today. All of those songs were very cool. My favorite was the Can song, but I liked the Howlin' Wolf and the Muddy Waters ones (I have seen both of them - long ago). Also the "Young Man's Blues" by the awesome force known as the Who (they were so good in those days and even earlier when they were all Mods) - that song has all cylinders firing - the Moon and Entwistle machine being the perfect back drop for that loud sonic blasting Rickenbacker and Daltry. I had forgot how awesome they were. Saw them many times -even the first show I ever saw 1967 - they were all still  wearing brocaded 17th century outfits and looked like some bizarre royalty. Guess you had to be there. Anyway, liked it very much. Our tastes seem to be similar in capriciousness. I'll be sending you something similar soon. Thanks again!

Hi Jon, special THANK YOU for the tape transfer that arrived in the mail along with some other Haptics :-) 'Love the BLUE! ..and the ooone-eye Rembrandt. I titled it "Eye View", itis great! The haptic asemic card on top is from Sloan and the Alpha Man comes from Angie and SnookyDog. Great company!

Cheers Jon.

 

Yes, I love it and it made me look at  The Moroccans.

 

(Glad it came quickly as I'm finding stuff to the  USA and parts of Europe very slow at the moment. ) But from US does seem quicker !

Hey Jon, I really enjoy that whole Chicago scene too (Thrill Jockey) I saw Tortoise in San Francisco about 5 years ago - Fantastic! Yeah, my tastes are all over the place too. I saw someone mentioning Capt. Beefheart on your page. I have a huge Captain Beefheart poster in my bathroom (from the old days). Anyway, looking forward to hearing your disc. Can't wait, Test.

HI Jon,
First of all, thank you for the mail art I received last week or so. Second, yeah, I would like one of those mixed CD's. I noticed your eclectic tastes are similar to mine. Also, reading your blog was quite fun - great job on that. I know what you mean about your Can remarks. Loved 'em and hated 'em at the same time. I know Holger Czukay (or used to - it's been awhile), but always liked his solo stuff better than Can. I also know what you mean when you mentioned 'Neu' as well. I still get newsletters for them. I like the sixties soul stuff - old hippie stuff, particularly the San Francisco sound and now that I live up in the Northwest, I really am diggin' rockin' blue-grass and roots rocknroll and many other things. Currently, my favorite record is "Car Alarm" by 'The Sea and Cake". Can't get enough of the Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt guitars. Anyway, I ramble on.

Read about your failure to complete the Alexandrian deal. Ah well, I enjoyed your candor and honesty. And I will be sending something in the post to you very soon. So anyway, can I have one of the CD's?

I shall reciprocate accordingly. Cheers, Test

The soup cans would have been subtle if I was a native Pittsburgher. I am a Bostonian, so I wasn't raised with Warhol as a native son, and didn't get jaded.
