Hi all This first bit may mainly be of UK-only interest, so apologies, but Radio 3's Mixing It (tonight, 12-x-98 10.45pm) is supposed to include SquarePusher discussing his new CD. Well, that's what they announced last week, but the web site says to expect a session from Tortoise, so either way it might be OK. Also fairly UK-centric. A new magazine about computers and music called (duh) Computer Music was launched a few weeks ago. Its cover CD features a list of useful URLs including Looper's Delight - world domination one step nearer then. It also contains a full copy of Cubasis Audio Lite, and a demo of Acid, and as I just got a (proper) new PC, its nice to finally see what all that discussion was about. For the same reason (new PC) I've been reading all the cover-disc mags (or more accurately trying out all the demos - most of the mags are content-free unless you're especially interested in a product review), so not much `real' reading. However, I bought a remaindered copy of Idoru, mostly cos Chapter One is entitled Death Cube K, which reminded me of a discussion a while ago about Death Cube K/Buckethead - so who anagramised whom, hmm? I'm also about to start Ian McEwan's Enduring Love. And just an hour ago bought the double CD - Rites - by Jan Garbarek which includes something close to block rockin' beats in places - sort of "I shook up the tunes" (oh suit yerself). And another version of "...gray voice". But I don't know what it sounds like yet - cos I've go two copies of the second CD, and non of the first! Jolly nuisance. Live as it happens etc. Anyone remember Del Bailey's version of the Lost Chord from the compilation album with Fred Frith et al? Well that's more than enough so - Cheers David <http://subnet-virtual-pc.com/~or387751>
