and since Keiji Haino is a Japanese avant-garde alternative
musician, I'm wondering if you're familiar with Ryuichi Sakamoto.
(Though you might regard Sakamoto as more mainstream since he won an
Oscar for the score of "The Last Emperor".) I think Sakamoto is a
genius but I haven't heard most of his vast musical output, and
guidance would be appreciated.
I'm not familiar, although I did see the film.
But then I haven't heard Jandek either,
It's something you either really dig, or are really repulsed by.

will give you enough info to start with, I'd think. There are 40
albums and a DVD to choose from. The DVD's worth at least a rental,
but maybe only if you're already hooked. I learned some stuff,
including that a friend of one of the friends I saw it with was
indirectly responsible for the whole Jandek phenomenon, having given
him an early positive review that encouraged him to keep on producing
music.
nor any Verlaine or Television bootlegs. Russ mentioned the Slims
boot and reading Keith's description
(www.marquee.demon.co.uk/slims.htm) has made me fiercely curious.
(Dare I wade into the ocean of boots?)
By all means, yes! There are some real treasures in this realm!
And Maurice makes time to play music as well!
I try to! I need to finish up some recording projects, but work and
gigs seem to be picking up. After tomorrow evening's set, I have to
start doing prep for rehearsals and gigs with some belly dancers...
