Dear Vergiftung,
Buddy Epsen is dead. Happened last week.
Yes,I am still in contact with the Belgian Waffles. I saw them a few weeks ago in Louisville. They did the Rocket form the Tombs standard NonAlignment Pact plus John Cale's Fear with a sort of Third Uncle(Eno version) vibe plus brand new songs you never heard of.
Embarrassingly,I unsuccessfully tried to establish civilized contact with Indoor Boy. I guess part of being hip is still saying prog is bad. If there is any justice in the world,Don's children will grow up to be rebellious teenagers with Yes and Genesis records blasting away on their stereos. I have noticed there are at least two new bands today that sound like Indoor Boy(of 1996-7): Interpol and Archvisceral Parlour. Interpol is famous. Archvisceral Parlour are not. I would go to a new Indoor Boy concert,but I don't want to get into a fist fight because I may accidentally mention Don sounds almost as good on guitar as Robert Fripp. Its not easy having my own individual musical taste these days.
What type of music are you doing these days?I have been doing some things with samples that you may find interesting. One of my projects will involve abusing technology to construct a Genesis song solely out of Belgian Waffles samples(yes,they hate prog too). Perhaps another will be a hip hop song made out of Indoor Boy bits.(I already consider Indoor Boy to be prog,so it would be pointless to reassemble them back into it). Do you know how I can contact Negativland?
Thank you,
John A Knight
