10 Things You Should Definitely Know About Professor Milford Graves

Professor Milford Graves moved onward & upward to whatever comes next on February 12, 2021, just in time for Lunar New Year. I heard about his illness sometime in summer 2020 & began writing this piece shortly thereafter. I seem to have finished it just as Graves’ corporeal phase has finished. Professor Graves, thank you for a lifetime of inspiration.

Thoughts On ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin: The Untold Story of the Wu Tang Clan’s Million-Dollar Secret Album, the Devaluation of Music, and America’s New Public Enemy No. 1’ by Cyrus Bozorgmehr

To my pleasant surprise, this book was: 1) written by an active participant in the project. 2) much more like reading a thriller of some sort than a drily dull non-fiction music-biz tome or myth-building celeb-bio potboiler. 3) chock full of manic philosophizing on music, art, industry, value, capitalism, anarchy, & so forth.

Holistic Method Musick Exercises (part 2)

Three more ways to fine-tune your magickal musicianship: "Transliterization"; "The Julian Cope 'Stone Circles N You' exercise ('channeling')"; and "Neo-Trux-ian Post-Waits-ian acoustical campfire composition."

About the Author

Imagine an unclaimed suitcase on Schrodinger’s luggage carousel, circling endlessly in the flickering fluorescent twilight of an airport that might exist in any of an infinite number of instances in any of an infinite number of dimensions in any of an infinite number of universes. If you could find said suitcase and look inside, you might perceive one possible interpretation of the being that is 5-Track. Or you might not. It all depends, doesn’t it?
