Like I wrote last week, this is my last show. I know I didn't keep up on the writing (mostly due to school, graduation stuff), but I'm now writing for a couple magazines if it should so interest anyone.
+ Tiny Mix Tapes put out a call specifically for free-jazz, avant-garde, and noise writers a month ago. Phillip (Space Is the Place) and I both were accepted. You can already find a couple reviews here and here.
+ Bandoppler will make its triumphant (3rd) return in February 2006. I'm already working on a Peter Brotzmann/Nasheet Waits piece for it. The magazine's approach is a bit more holistic conducting interviews, researching and responding to other critical work, and generally writing more "academic" articles. I'm looking forward to how it will challenge me as a writer.

Oh, and that Pharoah Sanders song I played tonight is just classic. Essential listening if you're into his Karma period.
