Kid's sick. Listening from home. I emailed you, Tony, yesterday about a Boredcast featuring you. I think the track I was after was the Szemző Tractatus.

Cecile:

quick weird question - is the label Atavistic Worldwide out of business?
Avatar 12:41pm
Cecile:

no new releases in a while, and a lot of things are sold out at places like Revolver and Forced Exposure.
  12:42pm
Dean:

I think you're right, Cecile. The latest news (via Google) is from 2008. There's one incidental reference in 2015, but it doesn't reflect any recent activity. Bummer.
Avatar 12:42pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Cecile: Really not sure -- but as you say, there don't seem to be recent releases. Could be hibernating, I guess.
Avatar 12:44pm
Cecile:

that's too bad, I enjoyed a lot of their stuff.

I'd guess Atavistic returned to the early Anthropocene where they felt more comfortable, after all.

From the Chicago Sun-Times, Feb. 19, 2009, a story suggesting the distributor tanked, thanks, no doubt, to Goldman Sachs.
  12:47pm
Dean:

In a move certain to have a wide-ranging negative impact on the independent music scene, Chicago-based Touch and Go Records said Wednesday it will eliminate the part of its operation that provides manufacturing and distribution services to dozens of smaller record labels across the country.

"As much as we love all of these labels," co-founder and owner Corey Rusk said in a statement, "the current state of the economy has reached the point where we can no longer afford to continue this lesser-known yet important part of Touch and Go's operations."

Labels distributed by Touch and Go will need to find a new company to manufacture their CDs and assure their distribution to retailers, by far one of the most daunting challenges in the indie music world.

Rusk said Touch and Go currently distributes about 20 other record labels, though many of those have smaller sub-labels associated with them. The list includes some of the biggest most adventurous companies in the American rock underground, among them Jade Tree, Kill Rock Stars, All Natural, Atavistic, Drag City and Trance Syndicate.

"It's a sad day for music, independent music and punk rock in particular, and the music business as we know it in the real world," said Mac McCaughan of Merge Records, which used to be distributed by Touch & Go.

Rumors that the Chicago company would cease all operations were circulating this week, but Rusk said that the stories that "Touch and Go is gone are not true."

thanks, Dean, that's probably when it fizzled. The Wrekmeister Harmonies record they put out was probably the last thing they did.

from quebec:

that previous piece sounded like Ligeti. but 1928? so maybe that's where Ligeti got it?

Hey there, from quebec! Agreed -- very modern-sounding for 1928!

Greets, NGH!

Coffee is tricky. Too much of it makes me *more* tired.
  1:43pm
MrFab:

Hey gang! Funny you should mention Easy Teeth tony - the other half of that duo was late-period Magic Band member Robert Williams, whose solo post-Beefheart works I only recently discovered (thank you, 99cent vinyl bin!). Williams was the poor fool raked over the coals on national tv by Johnny Rotten and Judge Judy.

Was just telling my 9YO about this song yesterday, but Iggy's version. Had to specify that there was an Iggy Pop before there was an Iggy Azalea.

Tony Coulter:

Heya. MrFab! All hail the dollar bins of the world!

@ Dean: How exactly do you explain "I Wanna Be Your Dog" to a 9 year old?
  1:50pm
Dean:

Did I say "explain"? He mentioned he wants a dog, and I spontaneously started mumbling the tune, so I had to proceed with a "Back when I was a kid..." story about the Stooges.
  1:51pm
Dean:

Let's leave Freud out of this for now.
  1:52pm
Dean:

Does Bastien have a tune called "I moan, Naomi"?
Avatar 1:53pm
Tony Coulter:

No -- but he should! (Then again, he has a brand new album -- maybe it's on there.)

Schubert is desert island music. I could spend the rest of my days with the lieder exclusively.

But she really said "sherbet."

From the review of this disk at ClassicalNet: "Music, after all, is only data, and Schubert's data are a great deal better than those of some other composers." Truer words, etc.

ONLY one Christmas song per year? Glad I caught the rare chance.

Tony Coulter:

@ Mayuko: Well ... don't hold me to that! I may end up eating my words....
  2:17pm
Dean:

You should play at least one more. For instance, Boston Camerata's "Gedeonis Area": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLOVBZpzej0 Or "Orientis Partibus": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6SAUA0IN7Q The last one is sung to a "Sir Ass." Don't find that in too many xmas songs.

This brings to mind another xmas song: "No Xmas for John Quays."
