I make an appointment with a big ego'd french dude who charges way too much money and tell him to do whatever he wants. Usually works pretty well.

Early Laibach rocks. Though yeah. Probably off topic.

But Tietchens kind of bores me. Maybe I haven't heard the right disc of his. What would you recommend?

WKCR FM Live Constructions. I don't know what's playing but I think I hear a trumpet, some electronics, and possibly another horn....

NZ judge orders 'odd' name change

A judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so that she could change the name she hated - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

Judge Rob Murfitt said that the name embarrassed the nine-year-old and could expose her to teasing.

He attacked a trend of giving children bizarre names, citing several examples. Officials had blocked Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, he said, but Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay had been allowed.

One mother wanted to name her child O.crnia using text language, but was later persuaded to use Oceania, he said.

'Social handicap'

The ruling, in the city of New Plymouth on the North Island, was handed down in February but only made public now.

The name issue emerged during a custody hearing for the young girl - who had refused to tell her friends her name and went simply by "K".

"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," Judge Murfitt wrote.

"It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily."

Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii's name has now been changed and the custody case resolved, court officials said. New Zealand does not allow names that would cause offence or that are longer than 100 characters, Registrar-General Brian Clarke said.

Officials often tried to talk parents out of particularly unusual choices that could embarrass their offspring, the Associated Press news agency quoted him as saying.

one of my friends was a porno camera man...and then became a hardcore christian afterwards

word bolded for pun-tastic emphasis.

Well, I did work as a porn "model" once upon a time too.... Still talk to that director once in a while, though he's quit the business.

happy birthday, mike. I hope you're out getting trashed right now.

That photo's a Terry Richardson classic! I'd almost love to have a large print of it hanging in my home one day.

Hey!

Haven't seen the script yet.

We're still negotiating my fee but I hope this works out. Would definitely be fun to get into the porn business in this capacity.

dude. you would not believe the big budget dialog-heavy gay porn that gets made nowadays.

I might have just been hired to record sound on a porn shoot. That count?

Yeah, there isn't a "safe" way to do that stuff but "damage" is also a relative term.

Traditional Corean pansori training is all about working yourself until your vocal cords are all torn up and bleeding and then continuing to sing through all that pain until they re-heal stronger. But western medicine and musical tradition will both try to tell you that's insane.

Wraparound cover art for a 3" cd. No text on it yet since the guy who runs the label apparently has some special fonts he wants to use to match the rest of the 3" series of which it's a part. But there's not gonna be text on the front panel anyway. Just the white spine and the large blue section of the back.

23 and making about $20-25k. But that might be about to drop drastically in the hopes of then going up even higher about a year from now.....

they should make movies out of the invisibles & transmetropolitan.

The Invisibles maybe. But the best things about Transmet would never translate to film.

Yeah, he'd probably be better solo nowadays. Cecil pretty much played each "improvisation" from a sort of graphic score on the piano in front of him and Oxley just had to try to follow along. Wasn't a very interactive duo. Which struck me as pretty weird considering the two of them have been playing together quite a lot since at least the 80s. But so it goes.

Out of the listed choices, I had a hell of a time picking between Howard the Duck and The Maxx. But, relatively speaking, I think a new Howard film has much more potential.

Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti, The Beautiful One Has Come

Saw Cecil Taylor and Tony Oxley play 2 sets at the Village Vanguard. Last night of their week long residency.

Guess I'm glad I saw them both play before they're gone but it was actually really disappointing.

Totally didn't realize this show started already. Gotta go find a download of episode 1....

I love the way David Simon approaches sound and music in The Wire. Supposedly there's gonna be absolutely no score in Generation Kill. Only even music when the soldiers sing. Which is an idea I'm really into.

Well, duh. Of course they are. Like peanut butter's better than jelly.

I always go to Peppino and he does a great job. Lex btw 61st and 60th.
