Just read your Rick Danko article, and wanted to say what a great piece of writing.
I'm just getting into him and been reading about the tragedy that was his life.
What a waste, like so many other talented people

Thank you so very much for the Anthony Moore article. Fab. Is there more? I am honored to have had Dagmar Krause sing on my last two records (Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates) and have also worked with Fred Frith. The Slapp Happy reunion shows a couple of years ago were beautiful - I saw them in London and Cologne.
Thank you once again for the wonderful magazine
ED NOTE: As the great Fats Waller once again, "one never knows..."

I'm writing to inquire about the article "Geinoh Yamashigorumi and the Music of Akira" it was really well written and informative! I wanted to reference your article in my final year university project and was just wondering if you knew where the information in the article came from?
Writer James Paton responds:Here are some of the sources that I used:
Tsutomu, O. Liner Notes. Akira: The Collector's Edition Manga. 2011. Bluray.
Yamashiro, S. The Making of the Symphonic Suite "Akira" Liner Notes. Symphonic Suite Akira. 1994. CD.
Ohinata, K. Track Commentary Liner Notes. Symphonic Suite Akira. 1994. CD
Le Blanc, M. & Odell, C. (2014) Akira Basingstoke: Palgrave MacMillan

Re: Milton Babbitt article- is ALL SET jazz?
Thanks for this.
Reminds me a bit of Zappa's Jazz from Hell.
ED NOTE: Indeed!

Looking for more info about my dad Warren Fischer and a couple of big all-day concerts he was the producer/promoter for in the summer of 1970. He was John Lee Hooker's manager from appx '67 or '68-'71, plus he was the MC5's manager while John Sinclair was in jail, so that would've been '68-'71 (My dad died 3/22/71). He was also the promoter/producer of an all-day benefit concert for the John Sinclair Freedom Fund, and for Mother Waddles Perpetual Mission at the Grande Ballroom that headlined John Lee, the MC5, the Amboy Dukes, (probably) the Bob Seger Experience, and pretty much everybody else who was anybody in Detroit music at the time. He also got John Lee and the MC5 booked for their appearances on the Detroit Tube Works TV show, and I FINALLY found a Youtube video of the full 30 min John Lee show, and also the MC5s TV appearance, which was filmed live at outdoor all-day concert in July '70 that was billed as Detroit's answer to Woodstock, and drew 15,000 people, and I think my dad was the promoter of that one as well. I was backstage at both of those shows, and I was 11 at the time, and I also remember watching that John Lee/Detroit Tube Works show live at home with my mom. Since he died in '71, and my mom is now 86, and she says there's a lot of stuff she doesn't recall, I'm trying to piece it together for my kids and grandkids. Thanks again.
