i just picked up 4 lps (out of 7)of the extended edition of private parts (robert ashley) last month. very awesome stuff.

Fri. 1/9/09 12:13pm From: bryce

nice! (except for the missing 3 records part)

robert ashley marathon coming up at La Mama (new stuff), starting next thur: http://www.lamama.org

Fri. 1/9/09 12:18pm From: north guinea hills

oh site, i almost forgot about the ashley marathon. thanks for reminding me.

one side of the private parts set i got sounds like kompakt minimal techno, and it was recorded in 1979...

Fri. 1/9/09 12:18pm From: Chuck7

Dang it Bryce you are my fave dj of all time, and some of my best friends are djs. And the pic on your dj site is WEIRD and, and,...

Fri. 1/9/09 12:28pm From: bryce

huh, some of my most reviled archenemies are DJs.... holy crap, chuck7 i owe you $40,000. do you accept copper bullion?

ngh, dying to hear the whole 7 lp bizniz! spent the last 10 minutes licking the internet for a trace....

i found the private parts lps at eat recs in greenpoint. unfortunately, they didn't have the whole collection.

i already had the cd version, but it's just 1 lp worth of the whole collection.

i'll be playing parts of said private parts on free103point9.org on jan 27 (7pm-9pm) on radio ruido's show.

thanks again for playing automatic writing, it's been a near decade since i last listened to it.

Fri. 1/9/09 12:42pm From: matt

Do you have a particular favorite Ashley piece?

Fri. 1/9/09 12:43pm From: Cecile

I should have stoled that out of the rekkid library at the station I used to work at, but i'm glad I didn't or I would have been one of THOSE DJs.

Fri. 1/9/09 12:50pm From: annie

the worst i ever did as thief/dj was to take the cds that never got played. then i played them on my show but kept them with me. there was the free bucket... not alot to write home to mom about there..

Fri. 1/9/09 12:53pm From: Bad Ronald

I lifted "London Town" from a record store.

Ah, now I feel better...

Fri. 1/9/09 12:55pm From: north guinea hills

i, on the other hand, have probably had more then 125 records stolen from me while dj'ing.

i guess i was never too careful.

Fri. 1/9/09 12:59pm From: dc pat

I'm listening to this while Réveil des Oiseaux by Messiaen plays in the background. It sounds great.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:06pm From: annie

i feel your pain NGH

Fri. 1/9/09 1:08pm From: Cecile

and let's not talk about friends and family who LOSE records you loan them.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:08pm From: bryce

daaaah i'm blinded by golden light!

matt, he's done so much intense stuff, esp. if you can set aside the time to sink into a long piece. "automatic writing" can't be beat for otherworldliness....

Fri. 1/9/09 1:13pm From: ?

Fri. 1/9/09 1:22pm From: zedprophfer

droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone

Fri. 1/9/09 1:26pm From: Cecile

Fri. 1/9/09 1:26pm From: and the Mysterians

David Rosenboom:

How Much Better If Plymouth Rock Had Landed On The Pilgrims (1969, released 1978), for unspecified instruments

can we request some conlon nancarrow?

Fri. 1/9/09 1:27pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 1/9/09 1:28pm From: Hugo

Cecile, yes we can!

Fri. 1/9/09 1:28pm From: Melissa

This has been a FANTASTIC show so far. thanks so much. Great curating !!!

Fri. 1/9/09 1:32pm From: zedprophfer

it's sad that piano teachers never teach you how to play like this on a piano. :(

Fri. 1/9/09 1:33pm From: Cecile

I mean, Zed. I'd still be at it if they did.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:34pm From: Hugo

For this, you don't need a teacher ...

Fri. 1/9/09 1:34pm From: bryce

i'll teach you! but you must pay me in försterkäse.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:36pm From: bryce

let me tell you, melissa, it's hard work punching 2 buttons an hour, holy shit.

hugo, don't think we have that one! i'll check, tho.....

Fri. 1/9/09 1:36pm From: annie

would it be overzealous to say"I LOVE THIS SHIT!" ??

Fri. 1/9/09 1:37pm From: Hugo

piano as percussive device ...

piano drummer

Fri. 1/9/09 1:40pm From: dc pat

let's not forget people that a piano IS in fact a percussion instrument..

Fri. 1/9/09 1:42pm From: Parq

Bryce, if anyone's up to the gruelling technical demands of airing a show like this, you are.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:46pm From: bryce

i'm actually standing across the street, pushing the buttons with a 230-foot rod made of taped-together string cheese snacks.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:46pm From: Hugo

Pushing two buttons per hour is much harder work than pushing one button per hour ...

Fri. 1/9/09 1:47pm From: bryce

that's right, especially in a flaming walrus suit.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:48pm From: Hugo

Indeed ...

Fri. 1/9/09 1:56pm From: Gregg Jarvis

Bryce- do you have Hans Bennink's drum solo on drum kit constructed of cheese wheels and close miked???

Fri. 1/9/09 1:57pm From: still b/p

Carpenters on radio at low volume here singing Top of the World while Monahan makes happen at slightly louder volume. Something so right.

Fri. 1/9/09 1:58pm From: dc pat

right on, still b/p.

Fri. 1/9/09 2:02pm From: annie

it's very surreal this whole live-talk comments list. the dj can see the comments, respond to them; yet has to remember that the whole city is listening as well. we, on the other hand are out here listening and commenting and taking phone calls and typing in other various chat-boxes... sometimes i get them mixed up and think i am talking with someone in the comments here..very surreal. so many levels ... i love it.

I know requests are annoying, but any harpsichord?

Fri. 1/9/09 2:14pm From: eric

what ligeti piece is this?!?! please...

Fri. 1/9/09 2:15pm From: Bad Ronald

Yes, I've got my Donald Duck costume on and am sitting in a vat of jello... Ooops wrong chat-box!

Fri. 1/9/09 2:19pm From: still b/p

I know that chat room...for Congressmen, it's called "House Boys". You a rep, BR?

A coworker just complained about Piano Media, which surprised me a bit.

Fri. 1/9/09 2:22pm From: bryce

toss in a grip and i'll order the prosecco

Fri. 1/9/09 2:24pm From: annie

the marx brothers were way ahead of their time..

Fri. 1/9/09 2:25pm From: paulthepostman

...a little risky milking to this one.

Fri. 1/9/09 2:28pm From: Ike

Milking what? Or whom?

Fri. 1/9/09 2:28pm From: still b/p

Bong Action Certainly Helps....si, Aldo?

Fri. 1/9/09 2:29pm From: paulthepostman

coworking! see JJZ.

Fri. 1/9/09 2:34pm From: bryce

AGREED

actually, that's a good point. which 20th century composers would be most at home, say, pullin a gravity?...

Fri. 1/9/09 2:42pm From: Matt

Thank you!

Fri. 1/9/09 2:44pm From: ?

Is the title of that Aldo Clementi album really "harpsichordling, Elisabeth Chojnacka"? I only ask because I have been trying to find anything about it online, and I'm getting nothing at all. Thank you.

Fri. 1/9/09 2:49pm From: bryce

oh shit, sorry! the album is actually by Elisabeth Chojnacka, called "Clavecin d'Aujourd'hui." came out on Erato in '77

if you can track it down, there's also a really intense Luc Ferrari piece on there for harpsi and tape, "Musique Socialiste ?".

Fri. 1/9/09 2:50pm From: ?

haha, excellent. thanks so much for the new info. great sounding show today, really!

Fri. 1/9/09 2:58pm From: bryce

to all people:

eat poorly for one week. Thank you.

Fri. 1/9/09 2:59pm From: fishmonkeystew

Thanks for another killer show, Bryce!

Fri. 1/9/09 3:00pm From: annie
