adam sends this link to a podcast of favorite tunes by john dietrich of deerhoof, a band i've recently discovered (thru adam) and immediately like without having delved to far into the recordings.i have to admire mr. dietrich's taste which is far more ecclectic than even my own. of the 22 artists/titles listed i have knowledge of only the following 7:
- fiery furnaces - i thought blueberry boat was a strange and largely unappealing uptake on 70s rock-theater.
- bill dixon - clearly a modern trumpet master - why are there so many saxophone gods and so few trumpet gods?
- us maple - noisy, right? i think i would like & need to hear more
- bartok - dunno what "tale" is but his 6 string quartets are some of the best music of all time
- satie - is it possible his reputation is far greater than the music actually warrants?
- marc ribot - i still know only through his masterful work on the classic mid-1980s tom waits albums - what's his one leader date to hear?
- patty waters - vintage ESP era improv stuff, right? never actually heard tho.
