Just had the most 2025 internet moment possible. Clicked on a youtube video of Derek Bailey improvisation and found it change out from underneath to become "Video footage of Utah Shooter..."
Is it because I was using a proxy to read the Derek Bailey article? I don't care any more.
Here's the article at least. Stewart Lee on Derek Bailey is surprisingly touching:

Here is Derek Bailey's Guitar, Drum & Bass as mentioned in the article.
It's *wild* and doesn't give you any space to breathe before diving in (artefact of the upload or part of the recording?No idea)
I mind reading about this a few years after it came out and being intrigued, but not enough to hunt it out. Probably for the best, I think I would have bounced off of it quite hard at the time.
