"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

We all know the basest version of what a Moth Cock is. But what if it's a male chicken, with moth wings instead of normal chicken wings? And fluffy antennae? Whose crow isn't the normal morning cock-a-doodle-doo, but is instead a keening whistle in the middle of the night, when it spots a porch light?

Heya JA and jazz enthusiasts. My NY resolution wish for FMU: more prog.

Handy, do what George W did: he was terrible at names, so he called everyone "chief." True story.

And I have to hassle Clarke whenever he shows up, because it will be 68 in New Orleans today, unlike the mid 40s and flooding here. Dammit.
