FLUXLIST: No long posts filled HTML and geek code, please
Is there some reason why posts are filled with long blocks of HTML and geek code ? Can't we just get plain vanilla text messages in ascii ? Pleaaase ... be careful with drfault settings and with forwards from the web. This stuff is a pain in the eye, and it clutters up the list. Ken --

FLUXLIST: Show about ... (fwd)
Just to show you my context, slightly edited, no d-words etc: -- Forwarded message -- I just received a telephone call from somebody and Time-Warner, on the Warner side. Seems the want to do a show about a web site that promotes ... , which turns out to be ...org. The plan to have some feminists and the web page owne, and suggested that I might do as a representative of the First Amendment. I explained that I am not photogenic and that I think the site is an example of sophmoric humour (I now think that it is more like satire, but at the time I had never actually seen the site.), and that I was uncomfortable about the strong feelings that the site arouses so that I would explain that the first amendment problems would be the same if the site were ``shoplifting.org.'' At that point there was no longer any interest in me. I thought, however, that I should alert you all to the fact that this show is on the way apparently, and that its slant will obviously be that org is seriously advocating ... . I have to go to class now, but if any of you more photogenic types want to see if can get a slot on the show to represent the fista amendment, send me e-mail, and I can give you the phonenumber of the producer, or whatever his title is, in a couple of hours. In haste,
Re: FLUXLIST: Sensitive Issues
The nature of e-mail is one of high ambiguity and that is worth remembering Media in general. But I suspect easter bunnies are less sensitiv. Or what ? Has Fluxus ever been so harmless ? No.

Re: FLUXLIST: Beefheart
The Graham Bond Organisation and Julie Driscoll were both well known in Britain in the seventies (or possibly late sixties - my memory is hazy there) I wouldn't have thought they had much to do with fluxicity or the art scene Graham Bond was a strange person. Clean art for clean museums. How was Hanson ?

FLUXLIST: Re: circular breathing
Anyone ever heard of Rhashan Roland Kirk? I always liked his music a Didnt he invent this: (circular breathing), turning in a circle on one leg. (Without the leg.) H. The aborigines have done circular breathing since forever, that's how a didgeridoo is played.
Re: FLUXLIST: query
"Safe As Milk" was Beefheart's first album. Produced by Ry Cooder. In my opinion, his style is not as fully developed as on later albums like Trout Mask or Doc at the Radar Station.

Heiko Recktenwald wrote: Yes, I know of John McLaughlin if you mean the guitarist who studied Eastern music and did jazz fusion. Same guy? Yep ! From England. He did some nice music in 69 with Tony Williams Lifetime. "Emergency" was one of my favourite music some years ago. Yeah, have heard of Tony Williams too, the drummer. I never really spent much time listening to fusion. It has sort of a bad reputation among more purist jazz musicians. More of a post-bop man myself: Monk, Ornette Coleman etc. then all the New York improvisational stuff (80's). Then Fred Frith and his sort of idiosyncratic activities and projects. But that was a couple of years ago and I've lost track of it all at this point. RA

That's pretty much in line with the things I've read about it in the past. I think there is a review of the CD in an old Rolling Stone somewhere in my collection from when it first came out. Myke

Re: FLUXLIST: query/ Graham Bond Organisation/Julie Driscoll
Yeah, have heard of Tony Williams too, the drummer. I never Fred Frith etc, music with shaver. Its difficult to say that Lifetime is fusion. He was the drummer of...and its a trio, John Mc, and Organ. What later became "fusion" wasnt yet developed. The other tape I heard those day was the soundtrack of Blow Up, definitely fluxus, isnt it ;-)

Ken, I think your post may confuse people who don't see the long blocks of HTML and geek code that you do. I believe you're referring to Heiko Recktenwald's post titled "Doors of Perception. Court Rules (fwd)" Which contains an attachment. I see the attachment, but I don't see the code you refer to. I don't know what mail reader you're using, but most email progs will interpret this code as an attachment. I have no opinion on the ethics of attachments on this lists. nick --this has been a fluxus performance titled "geek code prt. 2 act. 23"-- -Original Message- From: Ken Friedman [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 30 March 2000 17:55 To: Fluxlist Subject: FLUXLIST: No long posts filled HTML and geek code, please Is there some reason why posts are filled with long blocks of HTML and geek code ?

Re: FLUXLIST: Sensitive Issues
I think most people here find the posting of such material witout some contextualising statement somewhat offensive to say the least. This is a point of view I dont accept. Contextualisation... Is it possible not to have a context? I don't see how it could be. "Contextualization" would only be making the context explicit. In this case, analyzing and stating motives. cheers, George

Harumph. Hari, hare, hear truth. Take a right at the next star, then straight on 'til moonshine. I'll do a tape trade of "I"/"thou"/-"U" for anything I've probably never heard, even in the distant past. Birthday yesterday: I told my cousin who should know better that I was ten years younger than I was, just for the hell of it. Funny, she about believed me. I went on to tell other people and no one seemed to object. I think they're offended to think I'm really ten years older than they'd like to think I am; but there, that's it, that's the way it is.
