My interest in music has been renewed. When I was on my drinking binge in Michigan I kinda let my music drive shrivel up. But I'm back motherfuckers....I'm BACK!!!! It's all I think about. Except for one thing....I wanna take some classes at The Second City in Detroit. Maybe them quacks can put me through the meat grinder and I can come out of it a big fucking laugh sausage. Hopefully, it's not too expensive and the times are around my work schedule. Anyway back to reality.....

any Born Against

soundtrack of the day
The new Prefuse 73. This shit is off the map with sounds samples and colors. It's on WARP and feels like it at times. Worlds apart from his UPROCK NARRRATIVES album.

I feel kinda guilty saying I didn't get much out of the Kinks albums I used to own...but I did see them 3 times in the mid-80s. Second concert I ever went to, 5th row at Constitution Hall, Word of Mouth tour. Oof, that was a good show. biggrin The other two shows weren't bad, either. That was a fairly cool album. "Do It Again" was morphed by Green Day into "Walking Contradiction", "Sold Me Out" kicks ass, and "Living on a Thin Line" was even hailed by Xgau.
I've got scads of Aislers Set. I have a poor-sounding tape of a Dismemberment album. I didn't dig it...but I do feel kinda guilty, like I shoulda seen them live once anyway, as they were local phenoms and played at Fort Reno July 28th...well, it's all over now.
No lie, I felt so bad about Hines that I thought about puttin his pic in my Profile, but the Yahoo pics seemed kinda blah, so I used the Wild Things instead. The funny thing is, I haven't even closely followed his career. I've only seen portions of Wolfen and White Knights; I've never seen The Cotton Club or Running Scared. Yet I felt bad seeing that news today...I'll have to rent White Knights; Baryshnikov, Hines and Helen Mirren, the cold war...I'll likely dig it.
I haven't heard many of the above folks' stuff, actually. I bet some people on SG have, but I spent my Slint and XTC money on Neil Young albums, sorry. I bet TunnelSlats and Estrada have like every one of these...

I got the CDs, btw; this is the kinda thing I was prevented from logging on about this weekend with the dumb phone-line problem. I have listened to most of the AMT. I like how a crashing noise-jam will suddenly smash in on the 12th or 15th minute of a trance-out. It reminds me of my old copy of "Snowflakes Falling on the International Dateline".
