I agree that the copyright issues are murky at best. At the same time, it was pretty stupid of Wilco not to approach Irdial while they were making YHF to ask about using the samples. They probably would have gotten the rights for a lot less money.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

True. It also sounds like they could have gotten them for nothing from the guy who gave Irdial the tapes.

Has there been any discussion here of One Ring Zero? I listened to them today on Fresh Air because the name sounded familiar. When they started talking about Brooklyn I realized that it sounded familiar because they play semi-regularly at a local club whose mailing list I am on. But I still wonder if they've popped up here, too.
Much of the interview dealt with the claviola, which is at the heart of their sound. It's also extremely rare; I think they said 14 were made. They know about it and have one because they were both Hohner technicians and grabbed it when it showed up at the warehouse.
NYCistas (or anyone who'll be in town), they're playing at Housing Works on Wednesday as part of the Paris Review event. Paula Fox, Nathaniel Bellows, and Melvin Jules Bukiet will be reading. I'm going to go support the cause so look for me if you go.

The claviola sounds pretty cool. I tried for a while to grab a Pianet T (made by the same guy) off of eBay, but was always outbid.
BTW, I had my first practice as a band keyboardist yesterday, and it went well, although I stayed up half the night working on my all-synth concept album and sewing a cape. Jon, why didn't you tell me that this was going to happen?

It would've helped had you already been playing with an improvisational multi-keyboard drone-rock band. Takes the edge off.

Dude, tell me you're not channeling Rick Wakeman. I do not want to have to go to Austin for an intervention.

Y'know, not enough hard rockin' people appreciate Rachmaninoff. I really should get to work on that rock opera based on his works.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I would COMM this if I had a clue what you two are on about.

The first album I ever owned, given to me by my brother, was "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
