Here is a clip of Keiji Haino making a cameo appearance in Koji Wakamatsus ENDLESS WALTZ which is a biopic of Kaoru Abe. If anyone has a bootleg copy of this film....hook me up purrrleeeaseee.

Hey Iain,thanks again for that Henry Flint album you upped a few weeks ago.I've been listening to it a lot.

i might translate this in the not too distant future.

Familiar w/ Maclise, i have several of the cds that have been released and a somewhat rare LP...

Do you know where and when this mp3 you speak of is from?

I know Tony... i've recorded some of his performances here in Buffalo...

I just ordered Keiji Haino & Yoshida Tatsuya- New Rap, The sample clips sounded awsome, I can't wait to get it!

That CD does sound awesome. I love the drums. That's next on my list of CDs to buy.

the archive label has a recording of a 7 hour long fushitsusha gig but for some reason they haven't or aren't going to put it out

I'll have to find it.It's a joy.

I'm pretty sure it comes from this album:
Brain Damage in Oklahoma City is the second installment in the Siltbreeze/Quakebasket series of music by Angus MacLise. Culled from the archives of Mr. Tony Conrad, this volume (covering the years 1967-'70) highlights MacLise's unique and intricate drumming style. Cembalum, bongos, hand drum, barrel congas -- all are majestically thumped'n'bumped for maximum orgasmic sensory satisfaction.

I think this thread should be continued, now that I'm more familiar with Fushitsusha. Been listening to them non-stop today, thanks to some recommendations by drrrtyboots. Does he tour here often?

he almost never goes on tour. sometimes he plays a few shows outside japan a year, but that's about it.

The last one i remember of was at the Garage a couple of years ago,am i right?

Haino is finally coming to Minneapolis in October to do some live soundtrack action!
I am extremely excited.

i like him. i'm not too far from minneapolis either.

I just found out about that gig.
I had heard rumblings, but nothing definite.
First time ever, and it's been a long time coming!

6 years ago, i think. i didn't go though. but i saw him play in tokyo last summer.

No i don't think it was that long a time.Four years perhaps?I meant to go but for whatever reason i didn't make it so i had to do with the not too kind review on the Wire.

Fuck you minneapolis :(

i just checked his website, the last time he played london was 2000
