Mail and Revolt


well, it appears the ol mail system is flowing again. all of our pre-Christmas shipments finally arrived today- Zach's Heelys, the last shipment i may ever receive from a book club ever again if Amy has any say, and some CDs (The Flying Luttenbachers and Weasel Walter Quartet) and 10" vinyl (Walter/Barr/Hillmer) from Weasel Walter himself.

I'm most excited about the quartet cd (partially because both record players are collecting dust on top of the basement fridge so i know i won't be listening to the vinyl anytime soon) because of the sample from Weasel's myspace page (see "revolt") and the following quote from the back of the cd:

"it is not enough to simply make "improvised music" - improvisation itself is only a means to an end. it is only powerful when strong ideas and concepts are behind it."

listening to: track 2 "revolt and revolt again" of the Weasel Walter Quartet's Revolt Music for the first time
