Glenn Branca - Indeterminate Activity of Resultant Masses (Atavistic, 2007)

Glenn Branca - Indeterminate Activity of Resultant Masses
Avant-garde album, man! I entertain scenesters in city lofts.



Notes
  1. Alternative anagram: Cage avers I'm a nasty fascist brute in intent. Relent, old man! 
  2. As Dan Ruccia explains in his review of this album, "In the middle of July 1982, Glenn Branca had a piece, 'Indeterminate Activity of Resultant Masses,' performed at the New Music America Festival in Chicago. John Cage was at the performance. The following day Cage had a taped conversation with Wim Mertons [sic] of the Belgian label Les Disques du Crepuscule on Chicago’s Navy Pier, where he basically called Branca a fascist, a quip that gets mentioned to this day any time anything is written about Branca."
  3. Another alternative: I give drab NYC scenesters tinnitus at art mall. No mean feat!
  4. This title was suggested by Ruth Zeg.
