I like this one a lot. It took a while, but it's grown on me. I've found that most of his solo records are that way. Banana Cabbage ... was the only one I liked right off the bat.

I also got Konono No. 1 in the mail a few days ago. I like it a lot but I don't think it lives up to the hype, which has been tremendous. The music is cool but not terribly different - amplification aside - from or better than a lot of recordings I've heard from west Africa.

I think the connections to the Ex and the fact that they're playing homemade electrified instruments are giving the music added cache in scenes where African thumb piano recordings might have once received scant attention.

Chapter Two wrote:Spacemen 3 – The Perfect Prescription (I was one of those poor misguided fools that was into Loop. Perhaps it was the long hair and black clothes. What an idiot.)

That's a pisser. I like the Loop LP Fade Out and the track "Collision Time" which I found on an old Mute compilation disc titled The Tyranny of the Beat.

A Frames - [i] Black Forest
Minimal post-punk industrial blah, blah, blah. I'm down.

The Flaming Lips - The Fearless Freaks bootleg compilation
Live recordings from the mid-eighties to now, man.

The Heroine Sheiks - Rape on the Installment Plan
Shannon (Cows) and John Fell Ryan (Excepter, No-Neck Blues Band) doing it up proper-like.

Paul Newman - Only Love Can Break Your Heart
I bought it on a whim. Trance Syndicate band working in that post-rock, dynamic, soft/insanely loud thing. Yeah. One of the bass palyers is named Paul A. Newman.

M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us
Pink Floyd...you betcha! Vangelis? Oh yeah! Swervedriver!

Des Ark - Loose Lips Sink Ships
High on Fire - Blessed Black Wings
Old Man Gloom - III
Bonnie + Sweeney - Superwolf
Scratch Acid - Greatest Gift

You do realize, Stewie, that that's like walking into a

Consider yourself flamed, I guess.
