I dig what you guys are doing at ResonanceFM -
I Emailed a friend:
One other thing I’m really pleased about,
I’ve sorted out that ResonanceFM/Realplayer
problem I had – just needed switching to
128 frequency (as you probably guessed)
now if I click on their low stream I get
continuous play. I really dig that station
- I like experimental music – as you’ve
probably guessed – yesterday I was listening
to what sounded like kids banging tin cans
on rocks in a township, for about 20 mins.
(that was strangely soothing)
followed by 10 minutes of uninterrupted
gunfire from Afghanistan (really terrifying),
followed by the names of people ‘disappeared’
in Mexico read out in Spanish for five minutes.
Not the kind of stuff you get on the Beeb.
And I didn’t expect anything so shocking
from any radio station, even independent.

Zappa? The blokes an asshole.

All he’s doing here is playing scales.
I know ‘cos I’m taking guitar lessons
and the teacher’s trying to teach me
scales. G major, A pentatonic – all that
shit. You practice and play it fast
enough and it sounds impressive.
There’s no heart in this music at all,
it’s just artifice.
I loved Zappa (or rather the Mothers
of Invention) back in the days of
“We’re only in it for the money” when
they were playing music which precursored
what the great group Why? are playing now.
But jazz Zappa? – he took the easy way out.
And to think this guy told the London
Symphony Orchestra they didn’t know how
to play.
