Lydia Lunch & Philippe Petit
In Comfort
Lydia doing vocals telling stories speaking dreams over Philippe Petit: synths + electronics, with Perceval Bellone: tibetan bowls-sanza, Joseph Budenholzer: piano (original composition), Bela Emerson: cello, James Johnston: harmonica, Fred Lonberg-Holm: cello, and Manuel Zurria: Flutes. Ms. Lunch’s voice is getting Burroughs-like in its tragicomic gravitas. From Comfortzone Records on picture disc. Yum.
Laura was preparing a bag of clothes to drop off at Value Village, and encouraged me to look for contributions of my own. Things I no longer wore, that might be serviceable to someone else. Make a little space for myself.

I’m still loving this for its otherness.
Tantra Song
Selected & With Writings by Franck André Jamme
(112 pages, over 50 color illustrations)
$39.95
French poet Franck André Jamme traveled to India in search of these beautiful and minimal paintings and he eventually found them (after suffering but you have to read all about it in that linked page). I have an older, smaller book from the 1994 Paris Agnes b exhibit of Jamme’s Tantra paintings where they were first shown and I find them beautiful, simple, calming, soothing, meditative+sexy and oh so modern (even though they’re not).
My eyes were clearly bigger than my budget. Yes, I drove down to PREX the night I received the email and came away with a number of lovely LPs. O da joy!
From the top/left:
Even though PREX had a copy of Gunther Schuller’s Seven Studies On Themes Of Paul Klee with a reproduction of Klee’s Twittering Machine on the cover, I did not buy it at $39 instead opting for quantity. More to follow.
