There is all sorts of music on television. Here's a place to remind ourselves
of interesting sounds to watch on T.V.

Austin City Limits, which is broadcast on many local PBS affiliates has
started its 27th season with a stirring performance by Ibrahim Ferrer
Orchestra. I apologise for not sharing the information with anyone else; the
season opener snuck up on me, as well. Here are the next few episodes, from
the website at < http://www.pbs.org/klru/austin/tvschedule/index.html > :
October 20th - Richard Thompson/ Eliza Gilkyson
October 27th - Patty Loveless / Del McCoury Band
November 3rd - Mary Chapin Carpenter / Nanci Griffith
Nov 10th - String Cheese Incident
Nov 17th - Shemekia Copeland / Jimmie Vaughan
There will be more, but I'll refrain from posting them too far in advance.
Check Your Local Listings, and enjoy the music!

Thanks to you both! I hope some of you were able to see this episode. I know
that the producers of ACL have been trying to have Richard Thompson on the
show for at least a decade, and Eliza Gilkyson is a wonderful
singer-songwriter from Austin. I haven't seen the show yet; it's on tape.

A note on the ecto mailing list tipped me off to the HBO concert series
REVERB. This week's artists are BJORK and SIGUR ROS. There is still time to
catch this weeks's show in a repeat, though the new episode is broadcast on
Wednesday. I am a long-time Bjork fan, since her Sugarcubes days, so it was
a don't-miss for me, and I wasn't disappointed. I found her 30 minute set awe
inspiring in places, and consistently entertaining. It was filmed in a church
in New York City (the name of which escapes me a the moment), and she had a
small women's choir backing her up (the name and nationality of which I hope
to be able to discover).
The schedule for REVERB can be found here:

I've been meaning to mention the Patty Loveless/Del McCoury Band episode of
Austin City Limits that aired last week. I was very pleasantly surprised with
Ms. Loveless' new material, from her traditional album MOUNTAIN SOUL. I'm
still kicking myself for not recording this episode, as the Del McCoury band
were also terrific performers and red-hot musicians. My jaw nearly dropped
to the floor when I heard their version of "1952 Vincent Black Lightning."

Well, I'll have to regret not taping that one too, then.
(I missed Del McCoury at the Ark last month too.)

wow I missed Bjork.
I am struggling to find a decent way to seach the various
guides for satellite TV music shows. I keep missing
good stuff.
Just barely caught an amazing show on Trio,
with Elvis Costello and . . . Bert Bacharach!
Awesome.

Sevara Nazarhan, is what I think I saw in the
credits, the main singer's name I guess.
Can't find any reference to this name.
man what a crossroads Central Asia is.
You can hear the influence of Indian music,
the costumes seem like something from Thailand,
there is something vaguely Arabic and
Oriental in the music also. But different from all the
above, really unique.

Wow! I'm sorry I missed this, but thanks for posting, jor. I found a web page
about Nazarhan, including some mp3s.
http://www.geocities.com/umidnasyrov/Sevatra_Nazarkhan.html
(click on the Umamusic button at the top for a page full of Uzbeki mp3s.)
This goes right along with a present that I'm expecting soon, The Secret
Museum of Mankind: Music of Central Asia, 1925-1948.

Dig it, rockin' out at Tashkent State.
Sevara, Sevatra, Savara . . this is just the home page.
That's OK, you can pick the language, for example
O'zbekcha or Pyccknn.
Uzbek or Persian?
In Pynchon's 'Gravity's Rainbow' a couple of the
Russian characters had traveled to Kyrgyzstan
to develop a writing system for the language.
Suddenly we have a new thing in Central Asia,
"the first 'Kill The Police Commissioner' signs
(and somebody does! say this new alphabet is really
something!)."
