However, I get the sense they are sincere in their appreciation of other artists, musical, literary, or otherwise, and ask for you to support your accusation that they are parasites.<BR/><BR/>I've seen Thurston Moore speak locally (here in NYC) about No Wave, promoting a book he co-wrote/compiled with Byron Coley. He's a couple of years younger than me, and I got from him the vibe of a true fan, a music geek who was as excited about the musical developments of New York (and elsewhere) in the 70s as I had been, (I lived in Florida at the time). <BR/><BR/>Additionally, a friend of mine was in a band years ago that shared a rehearsal space with Sonic Youth, and my friend told me then about Thurston being a fan of PKDick, and he told me Thurston was apparently a member of the Philip K.Dick Society, (as I was from the beginning to the end of its life). <BR/><BR/>In short, I think you're being unfair to the extent you do not or cannot demonstrate that Sonic Youth are, in truth, "parasites."<BR/><BR/>(My friend, by the way, was in a NYC band called Reverb Motherfuckers, and he wrote and they performed two songs that were inspired by Dick: "Dr. Bloodmoney" on their first album and "Nowhere Nothing Fuckup" on their second album.)Robert Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951286299515983901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-6850791538631295692008-12-14T16:14:00.000-08:002008-12-14T16:14:00.000-08:00Sonic Youth associated themselves with PKD when th...Sonic Youth associated themselves with PKD when they decided the trend in reading of teens and young adults were buying his writings.

Dick, f...David, very nice presentation on Philip K. Dick, for both novices and "dick-heads."<BR/><BR/>I suspected, when word of a third LoA edition of Dick was rumored about, that it would (logicallY) be a presentation of the so-called Valis Trilogy. It makes sense, as it brings us to the end of Dick's career; it brings together three books which are thematically linked, if not in any way a real trilogy; and these three novels are among Dick's strongest. What a way to end a career! <BR/><BR/>However, it's little known, I guess, that the Book of the Month Club published an omnibus of the "Valis trilogy" in 1990, in a rather handsome volume, actually, with an afterward by Kim Stanley Robinson. I had heard nothing of it in the PKDick fan community at the time, but I discovered it entirely by accident in the Strand Bookstore here in NYC back around the time of its publication, or at most a year or so after.<BR/><BR/>It has a nice dustjacket, but the three volumes are printed in different fonts; I suspect the interior pages were simply photographed from other editions of the books, each typeset in different fonts<BR/><BR/>It will be nice to see this slight aesthetic disharmony corrected in a possible LoA edition; one thing I would like to see in such an edition is the inclusion of the precursor book to VALIS, namely, RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH. Not only is it a strong book in its own right, but it gives the reader a different take on the same material by the same writer.<BR/><BR/>As for Todd Machover's VALIS, you mentioned that it was available on iTunes, yet I don't find it there, or anything by Todd Machover. I actually have the work somewhere around here. I think it was only available on cassette, as this is the form in which I bought it, and I <I>never</I> bought commercial music cassettes...only lps or cds. I never listened to the whole thing, as I recall, as this sort of art music is not my thing, (although I like some out there stuff, including Pere Ubu, Beefheart, free jazz, Stooges, punk and no wave and other discordant music...I just never got this sort of "high art" art music. Steve Lacy did some stuff of this kind, and although I like Lacy, I'm not interested in his recordings of art songs).<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should find the tape and digitize it and listen to it; I must admit the excerpts you presented were, if not still quite my dose of Chew-Z, intriguing enough to arouse my interest in hearing more of it.Robert Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951286299515983901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-75288934946133157182008-12-13T16:10:00.000-08:002008-12-13T16:10:00.000-08:00Great job, David.
