*channeling Clay* Fabio! 25 years young! Do you have those old guy pains? I have those old guy pains. What do you take for them? | |

Love the Alice C. track! PS: Just watched the creepy Hungarian ventrilo-choir sing "yesterday" and I'm still shuddering... | |

*channeling Clay* Do you use Icy Hot? Liniment? Mustard Plasters? Remember mustard plasters, Fab? Back in the day? The smell. The smell takes me back. | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 3:48pm
Cecile:
*channeling Clay* You know, when we're fire up a bowl, slap on some mustard plasters and listen to Starcastle. Ever do that, Fab? | |

Very good, Cecile! I can hear the Pidge-voice while reading these. | |

I was hoping Don Cherry would sneak in here at some point. My hero. | |

Cecile:
I think Alice Coltrane is the Yoko Ono of jazz - in the best possible way. I love her and her music, but she is misunderstood by a whole lot of people. | |

That last set was out-bloody-rageous. | |

Bill F. - sure was. | |

This is how badly Greenwich Village's cultural star has fallen. When NYU opened the Skirball Performance Center years ago, it was billed as a rival to BAM. Got that? "It's a mistake to think that all the great theater is in Brooklyn -- we have a remarkably vital theater community right here in Greenwich Village." | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 4:36pm
A Clue...:
@Parg: Humanities profs are only interested in being politically correct. That's as lethal to cultural innovation as any other rigid religion. Disclaimer: I worked at NYU fulltime for 15+ years! | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 4:41pm
Cecile:
I wish I could disagree, but a lot of great pure teachers I know never got tenure, or ended up teaching at more remote schools with less interest in politics. | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 4:50pm
A Clue...:
Bingo. And like any other large business, NYU grows and grows. It's getting closer and closer to being the only game in town for a large swath of the erstwhile Village. University tenure is about getting people to think you agree with them on everything. That's the opposite of actual innovation. | |

The Failure of Academia... | |

steve:
i just got my masters at nyu at tisch, and i couldn't agree more with the sentiment about the cluelessness of academia and greenwich village becoming a cultural wasteland. fortunately i went to a small program without tenured profs and virutally no politics! virtually everyone i knew has moved to brooklyn, queens, or nj... we even had a school function at glasslands gallery in williamsburg two nights ago! | |

i like this track... | |

Cecile:
Now, what were you on, Fabio? You weren't huffing mustard plasters with Clay, were you? | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 5:21pm
Pantagruel:
Was that during one of your TM sessions, Fab? | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 5:25pm
Cecile:
Was that during Clay's annual airing of the Jonathan Livingston Seagull record? | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 5:31pm
Parq:
While I dig everything you guys are saying about tenure politics at NYU, my point was a little different. Try and imagine how people would react if you could go back to Greenwich Village ca. 1972 and tell folks there that a time would come when Greenwich Village would have to convince people pleadingly that it's as much a cultural mecca as Brooklyn. | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 5:33pm
Cecile:
Ah, yes, and that too. The Village used to be the cutting edge. | |
|

seang:
Maybe it's time to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats! | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 5:41pm
Cecile:
or crank the Black Flag and start sipping stouts. | |

Listener John:
Someone help me. I'm from the distant provinces & practically a hillbilly. I've been by NYU a lot, but I don't have a good sense of geography. Isn't NYU in the "East Village?" I thought "Greenwich Village" was on the west side of Manhattan, a good long walk from NYU & its environs. Or is the "East Village" a lot farther east? | |

I see no mention of my commentary :D | |

Thu. 12/16/10 6:02pm
Davice:
that's what I listen on 90.1 | |
|
Thu. 12/16/10 6:02pm
A Clue...:
@Listener John. 200 years ago, the original Greenwich Village was where you came to if you continued north along fashionable residential Greenwich Street and left the city for the countryside over a mile north of town. So the original GV was on the far west side. But in the intervening 200 years, the GW came to include lots of turf. There's an "East Village" as well as a "West Village". | |

Julie's show is awesome! | |

Ike:
John, I thought GV was everything from 14th to Houston St., river to river, with EV a subset, but Wikipedia claims the GV is only from the Hudson River to Bway (which incl. NYU) and EV is separate, formerly part of the Lower E. Side per a 1995 NY Times article. But the West V. *is* a subset, 6th or 7th Ave. westwards. (This stuff always fascinates me....) | |

What happened to the minute markers? I like those because they help identify the artist, etc. | |
