8 September 08 - Yoko Ono's music as torture?... Over the weekend, I was watching C-SPAN 2 / Book tv. I saw an interview (done recently) of Jane Mayer about her book, The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals. She mentioned that Yoko Ono's music was used in Guantanamo.
If true, that's seems pretty ironic, given her performance art and art projects promoting peace. You, also gotta wonder what other music might've been used.

Nov 8 - Pinko Communoids at the Red Rm., Baltimore... They were kinda subdued compared to other improv groups I've seen. More often than not, performances at the Red Room, will be loud and intense. (Did not have to break out the ear plugs, in this case.)
The PCs are from Charlottesville, Virginia. They've formed a music collective with like-minded folks from Richmond, Va.

At first I thought the program notes were so much BS, but the music was well-conceived and the performers were excellent.
