Everything at once

Another track to get back into a New York state of mind. Last week, I was talking about musical snobbery and the freedom of jettisoning the 'chops quota' for enjoying music. On the other hand, it's instructive to go back to the groups that thrilled so much and set the bar unfairly high. Case in point, John Zorn's legendary Naked City band, which I spent several years going totally gaga for and then burnt out on pretty hardcore. Mighty refreshing to take it out of the cellar and pull a stiff shot of the stuff. I heart New York.
