["Mr. Tough" <electricfriends@hotmail.com>]

Well, I like John Zorn, but in smaller doses. I only have 1 Naked City CD. 
I've owned some of his composition CD's (like Elegy) and his novelty use 
of 
sound FX started to get old after only a few listens.

Don't get my wrong though, I continue to be impressed with John Zorn the 
producer and John Zorn the record label guy (Tzadik). He continues to find 
(or re-introduce) many amazing composer/musicians like Jim O'Rourke, David 
Shea (he's in Mr. Bungle, right?), and tons of people I never heard of. 
Another nice thing that he does is provide a nice description of the 
musician's style on Tzadik CD's.

I recently saw a performance in SF with Mike Patton on vocals, Otomo 
Yoshihidae on turntables, and Bob Ostertag on samples. It was quite an 
amazing show!.
