Dec 10 Class

BRIAN JOSEPH DAVIS
His page on UBUweb

YESTERDUH is there, and otherwise I highly recommend: 10 Banned Albums Burned Then Played (2005), Voiceover (which is very similar to the piece we listened to in class, Johnny - full text here) and Eula.

on the Free Music Archive here

I really enjoyed Yesterduh. I think its a really wise concept to pick a song that pretty much everyone knows and to see how well they REALLY know it. In fact, I'm not such a huge beatles fan myself so I actually enjoyed the Yesterduh version more than the original version of the song. Its pretty haunting and dark.

Voiceover is also a piece that really opened my mind to sound poetry. UNtil I heard this piece I really just thought sound poetry was just either edited noise music or DADA gibberish. This piece made me laugh and at the same time was incredibly clever and well executed.
