My thoughts exactly, except I was thinking Gods of Chaos.

I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock'n ska band
To haulin' boss crude in the big rigs
Now I've come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my Aunt Faye's couch
When I see my little cousin Janine walk in
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch"

That is excellent. The ending is good, too; the song isn't a "Don't stand so close to me" as one might expect from the first verse.

The most insane album I've ever heard is The Pop Group's Y. Mark Stewart in "We Are Time" at 6:09 is _the_ rock'n'roll scream of all time. A critic I like said the Pop Group's albums sound "like assortments of mental disorders." Manipulating volume, phasing instruments in and out of the mix, and contrasting pleasant sounds with repulsive ones also help suggest dementia, but more than anything, Mark Stewart just sounds like there's something wrong with him.

"No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no
No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no
That's what I am
Please understand
I wanna be your holy man"

"Fez" is also how you pronounce my name, more or less. If that song could be played whenever I walk into a room, I would be oh so happy.

BadComrade, is there a way for you to put that in-studio session into the gmail account? I would love to hear it.


thx.

Assuming the new power supply I bought today fixes the "computer no turn on!" problem I encountered this morning when I tried to start it back up after an apparent over night power failure / brown-out, that is.

awesome.


thank you!

Good call.

Have you heard Smile from the Streets You Hold? If Niandra Lades... is "going" insane record, Smile... is "long gone"...

yeah, his next two records ("smile from the streets you hold," "to record water for 10 days") are practically unlistenable, definitely long gone.

I own a ton of their albums and never listen to them. They are fucking insane.

Thankfully, I'm NEVER in the right frame of mind.
