Maybe you saw the previous post and thought, “Well, that’s all well and good, but why is such a stylish case being used to ventilate cat feces?” Antec has heard your cries and has created a computer case with all the lovely curves of a litter box and just as much airflow. The Skeleton case has an open frame design with a 250mm fan on top. You mount the motherboard to a sliding tray. The power supply and hard drives are mounted underneath. It’s an interesting idea and easily replicated, but if cooling had been the goal, it would be a lot more enclosed. You can see the case with components installed on TweakTown.

Here is the concluding music to my foray into Texas. Joey Carter starts it off with an infectious dialogue on the vibes which never quite repeats itself. This music is from a session I played with some fine musicians on tour in Ft. Worth. At Sardines, where they play live jazz 7 nights a week, I got together with Jhon Khasen (piano), Daniel Stone (bass), Chris White (bass/flute/trumpet), Leonard Belota (trumpet), and Joey Carter (vibes). I recorded this on a minidisk player next to the drumkit, so apologies for the heavy drums in the mix. Blogger Stashdauber Ken writes: johnny case, joshua manchester: most exciting music Ive heard so far this yr: an evening of free improv put together by pianist-composer-activist johnny case at sardines, of all places, featuring drummer joshua manchester. also on the set: leonard belota (trumpet), joey carter (vibes), daniel stone (bass), and mvp chris white (trumpet, flute, bass). johnny pulled it together on the quick when manchester called from his sweet home chicago to try and hustle a gig while accompanying his wife on a biz trip. tuesdays usually a dead night at the restaurant, and these cats dream about making music totally extempore, without the constraints of heads, chord changes, expectations, fans. the vibe was redolent of classic dates like dolphys out to lunch or cecil taylors unit structures. from moment to moment, a different man might be the leader, with the others listening and responding empathetically. when we got there, johnny was hammering out tone clusters a la cecil (i finally figured out who he reminds me of: jaki byard, a cat steeped in tradition who can also go out?). this led to a dialogue between belota on ruminative harmon mute and chris white playing smears and flurries of notes on open horn.

At first straining to hear the opening motives of this drumset monotribe, track four builds until an enthusiastic toddler in the crowd makes their own contribution with a scream, seemingly sparking response from the other musicians on stage.

In continuation, track three begins with low tessitura and a short idee fixe in the rhythm section which is used alternately as a drone, a call and response, and a forum for improvisation.
