| PINCHBECK talk | Burning Man | 20 09 2003 |
| Daniel Pinchbeck
“Emit Time: 2012...A Change in How We Experience Time” In the weeks leading up to Burning Man, we already knew that Daniel Pinchbeck's Palenque Norte conversation was going to be a big hit. Each day brought more email requests asking us to verify the day and time Daniel would be speaking. And we made some new friends during the week as people came by to double check. Obviously, Daniel Pinchbeck has a lot of fans who are burners! As expected, Daniel's presentation was an intellectual tour de force. Even if you attended this talk in person, or heard it on Black Rock City's KPOD radio, you will want to hear this again. Without the distraction of the wind, heat, and dust, you will probably discover some pearls of wisdom you missed when you heard it the first time. As you will see, we have broken the MP3 files of this conversation into chunks to make it easier to download and listen to the parts that most interest you. Daniel and Palenque Norte welcome you to download and listen to Daniel's entire presentation, but we do ask that you observe the following copyright notice. ---------------- A great talk by one of the growing temporal masters.

| RIP: THE MAN IN BLACK | NASHVILLE | 12 09 2003 |
| :( :(
"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." CASH is one of the original and longest standing anti-establishment, one of the original punk rockers.... a huge inspiration to many, especially indirectly. He will be missed! RIP also JOHN RITTER 9/11 was an even sadder day this year. Country singing legend Johnny Cash dies of complications from diabetes By John Gerome ASSOCIATED PRESS 5:02 a.m. September 12, 2003 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Johnny Cash, "The Man in Black" who became a towering figure in American music with such hits as "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," and "A Boy Named Sue," died Friday. He was 71. "Johnny died due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure," Cash's manager, Lou Robin, said in a statement issued by Baptist Hospital in Nashville. He said Cash died at the hospital at 3 a.m. EDT. "I hope that friends and fans of Johnny will pray for the Cash family to find comfort during this very difficult time," Robin said. Cash had been released from the hospital Wednesday after a two-week stay for treatment of an unspecified stomach ailment. The illness caused him to miss last month's MTV Music awards, where he had been nominated in seven categories. He had battled a disease of the nervous system, autonomic neuropathy, and pneumonia in recent years. "Johnny Cash was not only a giant in our business, but he was one of those guys who had grown to become a cultural icon in American," Ed Benson, executive director of the Country Music Association, told WTVF-TV in Nashville. "People associated him with values that I think they held near and dear to their hearts." Dozens of hit records like "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," and "Sunday Morning Coming Down" defined Cash's persona: a haunted, dignified, resilient spokesman for the working man and downtrodden. Cash's deeply lined face fit well with his unsteady voice, which was limited in range but used to great effect to sing about prisoners, heartaches, and tales of everyday life. He wrote much of his own material, and was among the first to record the songs of Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson. "One Piece at a Time" was about an assembly line worker who built a car out of parts stolen from his factory. "A Boy Named Sue" was a comical story of a father who gives his son a girl's name to make him tough. "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" told of the drunken death of an American Indian soldier who helped raised the American flag at Iwo Jima during World War II, but returned to harsh racism in America. Cash said in his 1997 autobiography "Cash" that he tried to speak for "voices that were ignored or even suppressed in the entertainment media, not to mention the political and educational establishments." His career spanned generations, with each finding something of value in his simple records, many of which used his trademark rockabilly rhythm. "He just lit up a room and he's going to be missed," actor George Clooney said Friday during an appearance on NBC's "Today." Cash was a peer of Elvis Presley when rock 'n' roll was born in Memphis in the 1950s, and he scored hits like "Cry! Cry! Cry!" during that era. He had a longtime friendship and recorded with Dylan, who has cited Cash as a major influence. He won 11 Grammys – most recently in 2003, when "Give My Love To Rose" earned him honors as best male country vocal performance – and numerous Country Music Association awards. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. His second wife, June Carter Cash, and daughter Roseanne Cash also were successful singers. June Carter Cash, who co-wrote Cash's hit "Ring of Fire" and partnered with her husband in hits such as "Jackson," died in May. The late 1960s and '70s were Cash's peak commercial years, and he was host of his own ABC variety show from 1969-71. In later years, he was part of the Highwayman supergroup with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kristofferson. In the 1990s, he found a new artistic life recording with rap and hard rock producer Rick Rubin on the label American Recordings. And he was back on the charts in with the 2002 album "American IV: the Man Comes Around." Most recently, Cash was recognized for his cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt" with seven nominations at last month's MTV Video Music Awards. He had hoped to attend the event but couldn't because of his hospital stay. The video won for best cinematography. He also wrote books including two autobiographies, and acted in films and television shows. In his 1971 hit "Man in Black," Cash said his black clothing symbolized the downtrodden people in the world. Cash had been "The Man in Black" since he joined the Grand Ole Opry at age 25. "Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkle clothes and cowboy boots," he said in 1986. "I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I've worn black clothes ever since." John R. Cash was born Feb. 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Ark., one of seven children. When he was 12, his 14-year-old brother and hero, Jack, died after an accident while sawing oak trees into fence posts. The tragedy had a lasting impact on Cash, and he later pointed to it as a possible reason his music was frequently melancholy. He worked as a custodian and enlisted in the Air Force, learning guitar while stationed in Germany, before launching his music career after his 1954 discharge. "All through the Air Force, I was so lonely for those three years," Cash told The Associated Press during a 1996 interview. "If I couldn't have sung all those old country songs, I don't think I could have made it." Cash launched his career in Memphis, performing on radio station KWEM. He auditioned with Sun Records, ultimately recording the single "Hey Porter," which became a hit. Sun Records also launched the careers of Presley, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and others. "Folsom Prison Blues," went to No. 4 on the country charts in 1956, and featured Cash's most famous couplet: "I shot a man in Reno/ just to watch him die." Cash recorded theme albums celebrating the railroads and the Old West, and decrying the mistreatment of American Indians. Two of his most popular albums were recorded live at prisons. Along the way he notched 14 No. 1 country music hits. Because of Cash's frequent performances in prisons and his rowdy lifestyle early in his career, many people wrongly thought he had served prison time. He never did, though he battled addictions to pills on and off throughout his life. He blamed fame for his vulnerability to drug addiction. "When I was a kid, I always knew I'd sing on the radio someday. I never thought about fame until it started happening to me," he said in 1988. "Then it was hard to handle. That's why I turned to pills." He credited June Carter Cash, whom he married in 1968, with helping him stay off drugs, though he had several relapses over the years and was treated at the Betty Ford Center in California in 1984. June Carter Cash was the daughter of country music great Mother Maybelle Carter, and the mother of singer Carlene Carter, whose father was country singer Carl Smith. Together, June Carter and Cash had one child, John Carter Cash. He is a musician and producer. Singer Rosanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter from his first marriage, to Vivian Liberto. Their other three children were Kathleen, Cindy and Tara. They divorced in 1966. In March 1998, Cash made headlines when his California-based record company, American Recordings, took out an advertisement in the music trade magazine Billboard. The full-page ad celebrated Cash's 1998 Grammy award for best country album for "Unchained." The ad showed an enraged-looking Cash in his younger years making an obscene gesture to sarcastically illustrate his thanks to country radio stations and "the country music establishment in Nashville," which he felt had unfairly cast him aside. Jennings, a close friend, once said of Cash: "He's been like a brother to me. He's one of the greatest people in the world." Cash once credited his mother, Carrie Rivers Cash, with encouraging him to pursue a singing career. "My mother told me to keep on singing, and that kept me working through the cotton fields. She said God has his hand on you. You'll be singing for the world someday." Cash lived in Hendersonville, Tenn., just outside of Nashville. He also had a home in Jamaica.

| Beyond Drop Black | Perseus | 09 09 2003 |
| Black hole sings the deepest B-flat
(Reuters) WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 — Big black holes sing bass. One particularly monstrous black hole has probably been humming B-flat for billions of years, but at a pitch no human could hear, let alone sing, astronomers said Tuesday. “THE INTENSITY of the sound is comparable to human speech,” said Andrew Fabian of the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge, England. But the pitch of the sound is about 57 octaves below the middle C at the middle of a standard piano keyboard. This is far, far deeper than humans can hear, the researchers said, and they believe it is the deepest note ever detected in the universe. The sound is emanating from the Perseus Cluster, a giant clump of galaxies 250 million light-years from Earth. A light-year is about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers), the distance light travels in a year. Fabian and his colleagues used NASA’s orbiting Chandra X-Ray Observatory to investigate X-rays coming from the cluster’s heart. Researchers presumed that a supermassive black hole, with perhaps 2.5 billion times the mass of our sun, lay there, and the activity around the center bolstered this assumption. Black holes are powerful matter-sucking drains in space, and astronomers believe most galaxies, including our own Milky Way, may contain black holes at their centers. Black holes have not been directly observed, because their gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. So researchers have concentrated on what happens around the edges of black holes, just before the matter is pulled in. When scientists trained the Chandra observatory on the center of Perseus last year, they saw concentric ripples in the cosmic gas that fills the space between the galaxies in the cluster. “We’re dealing with enormous scales here,” Fabian said in a telephone interview. “The size of these ripples is 30,000 light-years.” Fabian said the ripples were caused by the rhythmic squeezing and heating of the cosmic gas by the intense gravitational pressure of the jumble of galaxies packed together in the cluster. As the black hole pulls material in, he said, it also creates jets of material shooting out above and below it, and it is these powerful jets that create the pressure that creates the sound waves. Top scientists, he said, pressure ripples equate to sound waves. By calculating how far apart the ripples were, and how fast sound might travel there, the team of researchers determined the musical note of the sound. Fabian said the notion of singing black holes might well be extrapolated to other galaxies, but not necessarily to the Milky Way. Chandra has looked at X-ray emissions from the Milky Way’s center, and astronomers believe there is a black hole there, but because it is a young, rambunctious galaxy with lots of activity at its heart, this may interfere with any note our black hole might sing, Fabian said. ------------ Thanks to Mr. Babcock for the great news image: A chart of data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory shows subtle ripples in the hot gas surrounding a supermassive black hole. The white spot at the center of the image represents the blaze of matter falling into the unseen black hole. courtesy: NASA - CXC - Ioa - A. Fabian et al | ||

| JULIAN COPE PRESENTS HEAD HERITAGE:
JULIAN COPE'S: ROME WASN'T BURNED IN A DAY October 30th, October 31st, November 1st 2003CE @ Lyric Hammersmith, London This Lyric Night Special sees Julian Cope bring together an array of special guests to create three different evenings of music and associated events. Featuring Cope and his band performing their first electric shows since 1996CE, this will be a 3-day series of proto-metal, underground grooves, and rare rock'n'roll footage. Enjoy music of shamanistic powers in the comfort of the Lyric's intimate beauty and lush acoustics. All tickets £20 (£9 limited availability) Is it really 25 years to the month since Cope's debut 45 ("Sleeping Gas") was recorded? Yup, November 1978! From the mind-death proto-metal of "Reynard the Fox" to the Louie Louie of "World Shut Your Mouth", via such refusenik works as Autogeddon ,The Modern Antiquarian ,Fried ,Krautrocksampler and countless more, Droolian Cope has always been the voice of the post-ironic generation. And with such gems as Let Me Speak to the Driver ,The Megalithic European and Citizen Cain'd still to come, we gots to ask ourselves whether there's any stopping his sustaining mantra: "Education! Education! Education!" ------------------ DAY 1: OCTOBER 30TH JULIAN COPE BAND SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN Films to include: TAJ MAHAL TRAVELLERS (1971) VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR (1971) As the swamps of Massachusetts were always an in-breeding ground for dyslexic post-Shaggsian crab-skank, perhaps it's only to be expected that this 16-wheeler should have hauled ass from said location. Messrs. Moloney, Bohill, Cooper, Franklin, Orleans, Pontius, Thomas, Critter and Cousin Rich have led us to expect the world. However, only the truly deluded could have anticipated SUNBURNED's exceptional hybrid of Miles Davis' Dark Magus and Captain Beefheart's Mirror Man . TAJ MAHAL TRAVELLERS A 1971 ambient documentary of these Japanese Underground stars led by Takehisa Kosugi. VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR Introduced by the Seth Man, this is a live performance from French TV of their amazing 22 minute "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". ------------------ DAY 2: OCTOBER 31ST JULIAN COPE BAND VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA HOLY McGRAIL Films to include: LES RALLIZES DENUDES (1970-76) AMON DÜÜL 2 (1971) Sampling a whole Stooges LP may have seemed like a bad career move back in the Winter of '02, especially as the powers-that-be insisted upon its immediate deletion. However, McGrail's Raw Power Suite is destined to become a 21st century download classic. Now a member of Julian Cope's L.A.M.F., McGrail finally unleashes tracks from his new album Collecting Earthquakes (Yerkrasharzhakagh) and makes Boris, Leviathan, Earth and Slomo seem like yesterday's news. Several all-nighters at the Leeds Dronadrome have featured this magnificent gloop troupe exclusively. Adam Davenport, Julian Bradley, Neil Campbell, Michael Flower and Bridget Hayden create a surging and propellent drone of ass-fixiating toxication. By now, you'll all know their albums ( Dabbling with Gravity & Who You Are ,Lino Hi ,Versatile Arab Chord Chart , etc) and agree when I say I'd rather have a full-frontal lobotomy than a full bottle in front of me. LES RALLIZES DENUDES 30 years on the same riff and Ethan Mousike (the guy who made this movie) couldn't even get Mizutani in focus until halfway through! ------------------ DAY 3: NOVEMBER 1ST JULIAN COPE BAND SUNN 0))) Performance & Lecture from: THE SONS OF TC-LETHBRIDGE Film: KISS performing in 1975 Includes "Deuce", "Parasite" & "Strutter"!!! Doom and Gloom from Seattle's grey lords Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley. These sacred twins of ambulent grudge-grunge death-trudge sludgecore will fuse your inner butt walls together and break on through to the other side, so bring your portable commode. Their albums ( OO Void ,White 1 ,Flight of the Behemoth ,Grimmrobe ) are Al-Things of underground legend. 'Scuse me while I kiss these guys! At 72, Colin Wilson ( The Outsider ,The Occult ,Mysteries , etc.) has still found the time to add spoken word to this project run by writer Welbourn Tekh and Brain Donor's legendary guitarist Doggen. This epic eulogy to the psychic researcher TC-Lethbridge is a bizarre stew of lecture, guitar pyrotechnics, rant and troublefunk. More Dr. John than Dr. Johnson. KISS All the good stuff, plus rare black and white performances of "Deuce", "Parasite" and "Strutter". You wanted the best but you got Kiss! ------------------ PLUS!

| UPDATE ON SUNN O))) 00VOID WAX | Kent, UK | 07 09 2003 |
| DOOM, GLOOM, MISERY AND FALLING OFF A MOUNTAIN....
31 AUGUST 2003 Dear All, Due to hospitalisation, and continuing personal incapacity, there will be a delay in the release of all Dirter label products, and all label activities are on hold for the next few weeks. This obviously means that the 00VOID vinyl will not be released when I had hoped. Unavoidable, I'm afraid, as I suffered a dislocated shoulder and broke my arm (lengthways) in two places while I was away. As soon as I am able to be in a position to receive delivery and process a few hundred heavy weight double LPs, I will do so. Anyhow, friends, keep the faith and as soon as I am able to deal with this, I will do so. ALL orders are valid, and you will all receive what you've asked me for. Please don't ask for an exact date; I have no way of knowing at this early stage how long it will take for all the pieces to become one again - the doctors can't say, so neither can I. I hope to be back up and running by the end of September, but I will keep everybody up to date as progress is made. Yours, Steve Pittis/Dirter Promotions -------------- Steve sent me that mail while we were away. We wish him a speedy recovery and best of luck! I'll update more information as I receive it. You can contact Steve/Dirter at this link. Thanks for reading and patience. | ||

| Edward’s Lament
In the basement of one of the country’s leading medical schools, Dr. Edward Jessup*, candidate for the Nobel Prize, floats naked in total darkness. He is conducting the most dangerous experiment in the history of science. And the subject of that experiment is himself. -Altered States, 1980 Edward’s Lament is the second full-length from House Of Low Culture —the laboratory concoction of Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom, Lotus Eaters). Within its vast bandwidth, Turner marries warm cinematic tones with sub-nautical sound effects to produce a sensatory encounter like no other. Guitar strings reverberate circuitously within the close confines of amplifier housings and unidentifiable noises percolate from the murky recesses of the hearing threshold. Cavernous atmospheres find their foil in digitized blips as the low hum of inevitability drones mercilessly in the background. The effect is both vaguely disorienting and starkly captivating. Just as Dr. Jessup’s own waterborne enterprise with obscure narcotics and dormant genes in our evolutionary path revealed forgotten primal instincts in the human mind, House Of Low Culture explores slumbering corners of the aural experience, revealing the full capabilities of the stereo field. Edward’s Lament, like its predecessors in HOLC’s modest but essential back-catalogue, is a thematically cohesive suite of instrumental excursions for barren landscapes and sunken shantytowns (think Bombay Beach, Quabbin Reservoir, Salton Sea). It is the swansong for all which was once thriving and is now desolate. *We’re not entirely sure if Dr. Jessup is in fact the “Edward” that Aaron Turner refers to in Edward’s Lament (in fact, it’s unlikely), but the united themes of isolation, psychotropic disturbance, and experimentation seem to hold true in both works. Plus, we figure it’s just one more annoying question for journalists to ask Turner when they interview him. -------- From Neurot Recordings website. A great album!!! | ||
