An Austin TX zine, by Josh Ronson, called Monk Mink Pink Punk, has been around for 10ish years. The new issue is online only, and features several fine Gyorgy Ligeti interviews. Two of them are published for the first time in English. I did not know that the original names of Amando and Amanda (in Le Grand Macabre) were Spermando and Clitoria, but I'm glad I found out.
I get to teach Kafka this summer!
In international news, I received two boxes of cds from rasbliutto and urantia, and some stuff from jyrk. The Bird cassette is jaw-droppingly beautiful, the GOD cdr is a pleasant surprise, and the Super Unity 5-cdr box set is a woozy diversion with phenomenal packaging. The Don->Dan disc I'm up and down on, same goes for the Hundred Flowers Ensemble and the Joe Foster/John Krausbauer, but I'm happy to hear/see the Heart/Po$ter after lo these many. I almost had to pay huge import tax because Eubanks got silly on the valuation, but my coworker fluently talked them out of it and into settling for 50,000 won (about 42 buck$).
On the European front, I have some tomas korber discs to listen to - brackwater, mistakes, and twisted concubine.
And Pat Martinez won't not
