On Music
MF: Recently Sonic Youth's "Dirty" (a masterpiece) was released in a deluxe version. Can you tell us something?
LR: Expanded edition. Better sound. More words and pictures.
MF: Can you tell us something about The Monsoon's project?
LR. It’s on Atavistic records. Roger Miller (Mission of Burma), William Hooker and me. Improvisation. Very good recording. Also out now is “New Life After Fire (for Tom Thomson)”, duo set with Dave Dyment on electronics---dedicated to Canadian turn of century (1910) landscape painter…
MF: We've read around that "Nyc ghosts and flowers" and "Murray street" belong to a trilogy "about the cultural history of lower Manhattan"...
LR: There is no trilogy---it was a joke---although all our recs are informed by nyc as some of us still live here and all of us are greatly enamoured and tied to this place. Lee Ranaldo
