Really? I'll be listening! :kiss:

I'll be listening too, even if I plan to buy it anyway.

It is a great album...Played it today and realised I hadnt put any on the show....Since the two Zappa specials, Ive kinda shyed away from playing FZ, for fear of overkill amongst the un-initiated listeners!
Havent played anything from Xmasage yet either, so plan on doing that too in the upcoming weeks....

Oh, and Offering has joined the current Myspace trend.....

Cool! Congratz!

DC Boogie! Sounds great! Thanks Goj!

I was in two minds what to play cos its all great!....

Hey Goj, so what's the situation now with your show ? You stay, you quit ? What's going on ?

Still doing it for now. Im signed till November. Im hoping to carry on into next year, to see if anything changes then. I really should promote the show more, but due to funds, etc, its hard....
Im hoping when they go FM itll boost the shows popularity, cos I know more people would dig it if they knew it was there...
The second Merzbow special is tonight! The third and final Merzpecial will be first Saturday in August.

Cool! I wonder what Merzbow sounds like! Hope I can stay awake 'till twelve (newspapers again).

Approach with due caution BB!!

Sounds scary...

Nice material!

Where can I buy Merzbow? Apart from Internet?

Thats a tough one. He has done stuff on sooo many labels, some bigger, and some tiny, that its REALLY difficult to get some titles, and Im afraid most stores dont stock much past his "hit" albums. Try specialist, independent places first, but the internet is the ultimate solution really...

Its a nightmare if youre a completist, because you are never going to get all the Merz releases! Hes at about 400 odd albums now, and two have just come out in close succesion of each other!

I kinda pick and choose which Merz albums to go for nowadays, instead of trying to get everything. Of his latest works, the most interesting, to me, is with Jamie Saft - MERZDUB. Merzbow and dub - reggae, you cant go wrong! From what Ive heard sounds great......

On what label is it Goj ? I'm interested.

Its on Caminate Records, a US label. They are relatively small, and have no website, apart from a myspace page! ( see what I mean? )
Their previous Merz release, Live Magnetism, was ( sort of ) widely available, especially over here, but it seems MDub is only available through Downtown Music Gallery...at the moment at least!
Now, DTMG are absolutely fantastic, when ordering via tzadik.com, but on DTMGs own sight, their method of credit card payments involves sending an ( encrypted ) e-mail of your CC number, a practice I am not entirely too keen on personally.
Still, if I cant find it elsewhere and / or over here I may as well go and get it there....As I say, ordering through Tzadik through them, they really are second to none.....New York to UK in, on average, a week!!

I stand corrected, its actually CaminaNte Recordings, with the N before the "te"....

Go to www.myspace.com/caminanterecordings to hear Merzdub samples!!!

( ps. sorry about not making it an active link, but my PC blew up the other day, and am now using an iMac, and do not know how to work the thing AT ALL, so if anyone else knows, or indeed is using one, please help me!!! )

I think I'm gonna buy that Merzdub cd.

Yeah, sounds pretty good doesnt it? Its definitely among the more interesting recent Merz releases.....I havent heard anything since Senmaida that really pushed the envelope for him, IMO, but that is an ongoing online debate between real Merz freaks, of which I am merely a dabbler.....
Yknow what? His early work ( Age Of 369, Chant, Batztoutai ) rank among his most interesting musics.....
