Not that anyone can really do it, but we try to keep up with the global meanderings of DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid, and though he has turned up left and right in collaborations with the likes of Killah Priest and Lee "Scratch" Perry, Paul seemed especially proud when he told us about his latest gambit with longtime idol Yoko Ono on her new release Yes, I'm a Witch on the Astralwerks label.
Spooky's track is called "Rising" and is based on Yoko's poem of the same name. The track also features Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth on guitar. It is available--of course--on his MySpace page. Other tracks on the album feature Cat Power, Hank Shocklee, and The Flaming Lips.
Aside from this latest release, we note that in March, Spooky's Rebirth of a Nation will be screened at Teatro Circo at the 8th Abycine Film Festival in Albacete, Spain, and that he has just been added to the bill for the Old Knit (Knitting Factory) 20th Anniversary celebration at Town Hall in New York City.
