""God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them" plus...

[pynchonoid]

This guy has to have at least one Pynchon-L fan:

“The rubber-knife spankings and threats of cannibalism
from two babysitters (the latter a 100-year-old
witch), gave his sound a dark edge,” writes Danny
Cohen in a third-person promo blurb for his upcoming
performance at the Schindler House, the kickoff of
this summer’s “sound.” series. “He found a guru over a
buffet and heard the ‘Music of the Spheres.’ He was
supposed to die, but there was a psychotic blond
nympho which spoiled everything. He returned to L.A.
to record his travails, as The Museum of Dannys.”

Cohen’s slight crackpot accent may stand out from the
academic manners of most avant-garde musicians, but
it’s typical shtick for practitioners of Outsider
Music (O.M.), a loosely defined but burgeoning genre
of music encompassing recordings that have fallen
between the cracks of mainstream culture — lyrically,
musically, or because of the sociological
eccentricities of their creators. Longtime itinerant
acid casualty, favorite singer-songwriter of the ’70s
experimental Los Angeles Free Music Society crowd, and
major influence on Tom Waits, Cohen has only recently
been garnering anything like the kudos he
deserves.[...]

Sounds Different
Music way outside the box 
by Doug Harvey 


Here's another guy listening to some far-off music:

[...] Abbas said that at Aqaba, Bush promised to speak
with Sharon about the siege on Arafat. He said
nobody can speak to or pressure Sharon except
the Americans. 

According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush
said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I
struck them, and then he instructed me to
strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am
determined to solve the problem in the Middle
East. If you help me I will act, and if not,
the elections will come and I will have to
focus on them."
