Highlight of the week was a day at the Minimal Festival yesterday, mostly themed around Phillip Glass. Bang On A Can performed some of the early 'hard core' works which I thought sounded great in contrast to all the 'typical PG soundtrack' stuff that he has put out in recent years. Other highlight was the Smith Quartet playing all five string quartets. Gave his violin concerto thing a miss in the evening as it was paired with The Four Seasons which I don't think I need to hear again. Instead headed for City Halls and a live broadcast of Scelsi, Cage, Skempton and Cardew. Highlight was a rare performance of Cardew's Paragraph 3 of The Great Learning. Quite something to experience.

Other spins:

Wild Flag - s/t
Magazine - No Thyself. Only one listen so far so too early to say but sounds promising. Easily worst cover of the year so far though.
Max Roach - Members Don't Git Weary
John Klemmer - Blowin Free (Pete Cosey plays on this).
Remember Remember - The Quickening
The Lappetites - Beyond the Libretto
Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets
Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
Sun City Girls - 330,003 Crossdressers from Beyond the Rig Veda

Have a great week all.
