so y'all, i had a dream last night that there was a song on my playlist called "kill a bigger tree" by the acad. (period included). i woke up worrying about how to find it. i need your help. can you record "kill a bigger tree" by 6:45 and send it to me? thanks!
  3:14pm
Dean:

Seconded, VP.

Indeed, AM is one fun label. At one time it was associated with the marvelous Montreal record store L'Oblique. Not sure that remains the case, but L'Oblique is where I first heard Klaxon Gueule (and Amon Tobin).

Dean:

I'm even more picky about Glass. I think I only really like the violin concerto. It's possible, though, that there's so much Glass crammed into that concerto that I'm just sated when I hear it.

Nor am I eager to draw lines, and my rationales are not all well-formed, for sure. It's more a matter of my having "gotten" Drumming and the early recordings that toy with phase, where the more mature "compositions" and their programmatic accoutrements--think Different Trains, or the car horns here--just don't grab me. Not sure why (not).
Avatar 6:25pm
V Priceless:

or I should say cat-made island, my bad
Avatar 6:25pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

i will never, ever not kinda slightly like kiss, nor never will i like glass over reich (though i think he's supposed to be much more personable in person).
Avatar 6:26pm
northguineahills:

For me, I used to be turned off by the later Glass and Reich works b/c they seemed more 'polished' and set for people who believe they have bourgeois tastes. That said, I've always loved Glass's trilogy for some reason, and that just doesn't make sense to me based on my aforementioned criteria.

Glass makes me nuts. Never ever got him, and totally unashamed to say so. Like Reich and James Tenney though. Also Carl Stone.
Avatar 6:29pm
northguineahills:

I seen both as well, and Reich was more approachable. However, in '98, I saw Glass in Gainesville, FL, and 50 year-old guy ran up on stage during the performance, and yelled "you call this music!", threw his coat and ran off. It got a smile from Philip and made my night. (the guy's pearl-clutching wife was mortified).

Dean:

Then there's Adams. I *really* don't like Adams, nuh-uh, not even a little. HOWEVER, I did once attend a concert featuring Short Ride in a Fast Machine staged, IIRC, by Peter Sellars (don't get me started). It was a pleasure to hear live.

I didn't get a chance to record it, but I have written for you the song "Kill a Bigger Tree":
-----

Kill a bigger tree for Christmas
Kill a bigger tree this year
Our holidays are usually listless
But this year the children will be near

Kill a bigger tree for Johnny!
Kill the tree for Becky dear
Buy sachets of frangipani
For this one last time we’ll all be here

Sure, without your diagnosis
Grown-up kids would never come back here
So it takes a bad prognosis...
Still the tree will be so fine this year!

Here are the lyrics:


To Kill A Bigger Tree

I signed my brother into the draft
He died in Vietnam
I buried him in Patterson
I still owe for the grave marker

Chorus:
Bake
a pan of undercooked lasagna
Throw
a driftnet into the sea
Paint
A sign that says POST NO BILLS
Break
the glass of the fire alarm

I decommissioned my nuke plant
I withdrew the cooling rods
I opened up the valves and vents
I let the reactor vessel cool down
Before removing the asbestos.

Chorus:
Pull
the hangnail from your pinky
Blend
the whisky and the ice
Twist
the doorknob 'till it opens
Claim
your patch of infertile soil


The weather's bad in Pennsylvania,
I took the wrong turn out near York
I couldn't turn around until Hershey
Now I'm out of gas and out of work.

Chorus:
Get
a free delivery if you click now
Throw
the only dart you have
Grease
the palm of your next door neighbor
Carve
your lover's name into a tree

It was, it is, and it will be
I had, I have, I'll have eternally
I saw, I see, and I will see
I saw and saw and saw
To kill a bigger tree.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:44pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Only a cad would kill a bigger tree
- & bugger all the shameless bigotry.
Tell yer dreamt of Daughter
she can keep them just the same.
I'm the Artist w/ the Pop&Soul
The Prince, the Slave w/out a name
..We may dream a song
on the longest night of the year
what sun will rise on what new fear
what noise will mark your Holiday
what nightmare nation walked in all my days...
