The recently launched poetics site Jacket2 has launched an online archive of Jerome Rothenberg and Dennis Tedlock’s Alcheringa ethnopoetics journal. Alcheringa ran for 13 issues from 1970 until 1980 and was published through Boston University.

The journal’s statement of intention says: “As the first magazine of the world's tribal poetries, Alcheringa will not be a scholarly ‘journal of ethnopoetics’ so much as a place where tribal poetry can appear in English translation and can act (in the oldest and newest of poetic traditions) to change men's minds and lives. While its sources will be different from other poetry magazines, it will be aiming at the startling and revelatory presentation that has been common to our avant gardes.”

Stones Throw is celebrating its 15th birthday with a series of performances at Capsule Labs studio and pressing plant in LA, where 15 minute sets from the label’s roster will be recorded straight to vinyl in real time. Recording engineers will mix and master the sets as they’re in progress, and 500 units will be pressed of each show.

The first Stones Throw Direct-To-Disc is lined up for 14 April, and is headlined by Mayer Hawthorne & The County, with support from jazz group Rick, and Peanut Butter Wolf DJ sets in between performances. Tickets aren’t going on sale to the public though, and only 100 invites will be sent out. Stones Throw is also going to give away a handful of tickets on its website, Facebook and Twitter. More info here.

EDIT: One of our writers pointed out that Stones Throw aren't quite going direct to vinyl as advertised - the tracks are being pressed straight to lacquer on the night, and then these are being sent away to be pressed to vinyl.

It will be performed in two places simultaneously: outside on the banks of the Hudson River near Dia:Beacon, and indoors at the Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University in New Jersey. While the performance is in full swing, each site will receive visual transmissions from the other.

Whitman has been working in video and theatre performance art since the 60s, and has exhibited in New York's Hansa, Reuben, and Martha Jackson galleries.
