realised as i was labouring away yesterday that i needed at least a sentence describing some exemplary harmolodics as per the brief i'd given myself, hunted down r.shannon jackson's (1984) DECODE YOURSELF -- tellingly NOT all over slsk -- and my what a grebt LP it is! So it is soundtracking today's "cutting"... (yes so far since day's work began i have added 300 words!)

Yes fair enough re LC: there's stuff on Time's Up which points out towards what they could have done, but I think he needs not to be the leader, basically. RSJ's shuddering brute simplisticism is a discipline that's good for Vernon, plus he doesn't get to choose his sidemen.

I recall Jackson getting booked fairly regularly (or at least noticeably more than once, since I saw him at least twice) in NY downtown nonjazz clubs that veered towards, e.g., B-52s, Raincoats, Lounge Lizards, Bush Tetras, Joe King Carrasco, and the like.

not sure if the thing after no wave had a name really (and you were there and i wasn't) but jackson was pretty solidly part of it: plus laswell's first material LP featured whitney!
