Blackland Farmer

NOT to be confused with the Scottish blues rocker of the same name, this Frankie Miller is a superb Texas honky tonker.


He's also one of those unlucky souls to have his brilliant music languish in the formidable shadow of George Jones.


But as this exciting triple CD shows, Miller deserves a wider listenership than his cult artist status has so far allowed.


The 96 tunes, spanning 1956 to the late '60s, include all his cuts for the famous Starday label, demos, radio stuff and interviews - all the usual Bear Family bells and whistles.


Backed by Texas stalwarts and Nashville hot shots from the days when that city had soul, Miller covers a lot of terrain, from rocking juke box fodder and truck driving tunes to downhome homilies such as Family Man and the splendidly hateful Just for Spite.


Miller is riveting. His soulful wail is deep country of the sort likely to have country fans used to less astringent contemporary styles ducking for cover. And that's high praise.

One clarence Shepard Day Jr. in 1974, Manuel Göttsching, guitarist for the fabled Krautrock band Ash Ra Tempel, walked into a Berlin criminal record fund and heard some wildly cosmic guitar sounds blaring from the speakers. He was aghast to get word of honor that he was listening to a novel Krautrock supergroup, and that he in fact was the guitarist. The Cosmic Jokers were the superlative Krautrock supergroup that never was, a cosmic joke even on to the highest degree of the musicians world Health Organization played on the roger Huntington Sessions, unbeknown they were members of this newfangled "mathematical group." Over various months in early 1973, producer Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser unionized several wild acid parties at Dieter Dierks' good studio, where the musicians played in exchange for a modest fee and all the hallucinogens they could consume. These musicians included Göttsching and Klaus Schulze of Ash Ra Tempel, Jurgen Dollase and Harald Grosskopf of Wallenstein, and Dierks himself. They had all been part of the Cosmic Couriers, a loose group that had musically backed Kaiser-produced records by Swiss artist/poet Sergius Golowin, gipsy Tarot-reader Walter Wegmuller, and even acid guru Timothy Leary the family before.


From these 1973 roger Sessions, the Cosmic Jokers were innate, as Kaiser and Dierks emended and interracial the real and slapped it tabu on vinyl on Kaiser's Kosmiche Musik label without the other musicians knowledgeable anything about it until the records appeared in stores, regular as their pictures were posted prominently on the covers. The self-titled first base album followed in speedy succession by Astronomic Supermarket (which actually wasn't credited to the Cosmic Jokers when it originally came out) and Planeten Sit-In, all released in 1974. In that same class came out iI other records later credited to the Cosmic Jokers, the Kosmische Musik tag sampler Sci-Fi Party, and Gilles Zeitschiff (or "Jill's Timeship"). This last album featured Gille Lettmann, Kaiser's girlfriend at the sentence, besides known as Sternenmadchen, narrating over music pillaged from assorted earlier Kosmische Musik releases. By at present the unpaid musicians were quite resentful, and Zeitschiff, where they play second diddle to Kaiser's girlfriend, was the last stalk for Klaus Schulze, wHO soon took legal action against the increasingly megalomaniac Kaiser. By 1975, all the albums were indrawn until the musicians rights could be sorted out and Kaiser was run out of the nation by the authorities, his record empire destroyed. Though some people at the time disparaged these records as a bad gimmick and ane of the worst examples of blatant creative person heist, and Schulze noneffervescent reviles them, the fact can't be denied that these ar some of the topper records of dead tripped-out German cosmic outer space stone ever made.

Cough Affects Lives In Different Ways

�Cough is a symptom of many respiratory diseases; however, a new study shows that chronic cough may affect quality of life differently, based on a patient's disease.


Researchers from Ireland administered trio health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires to 147 outpatients (inveterate cough, n=83; COPD, n=18; asthma, n=20; and bronchiectasis, n=26).


Although the magnitude of cough-specific HRQoL deadening was like among all groups of respiratory disease, subdomain wads revealed that patients with chronic cough suffer from more psychosocial issues than patients with bronchiectatics, just they have less functional impairment than patients with COPD.


Furthermore, there was a substantial difference in generic health status across the quartet disease groups, with the poorest health status in patients with COPD. This study is published in the August issue of the journal CHEST.


This study is promulgated in the August issue of the journal CHEST.
