I got mine many years ago. I was under the impression that all of the Killdozer stuff was still in print, maybe I'm wrong.

Beyond my recent discovery of their apparent availability on the T&G website, multiple sources have told me directly or indirectly (as was explained in detail in the erased portion of the post) that they are not.

If they can't be found in Madison or Minneapolis, I wonder if they would be available in Chicago...they were extremely popular in Madison, I don't know why the supergeeks wouldn't order those records if they were in print...they know their shit...and they have all kinds of weird bootleggery afoot...

Blaine L. Reininger - Night Air

http://www.divshare.com/download/1127162-26c

1984 solo album from former member of Tuxedomoon (an "experimental avant-garde post-punk New Wave group formed in San Francisco in the late '70s", according to wikipedia) - Reininger moved to Europe after the band split and discovered his inner krautrock. This is the part of Sprockets where we dance.

Judging by the album cover, I think his inner krautrock looked like this:

Klaus, give me fünf!

For anyone who liked the other Asian and Indian stuff, here's Ali Akbar Khan and Mahapurnish Misra, from the OOP 80-Minute Raga double LP:

Klaus Nomi: various...79-82


(note: After The Fall is a GREAT song with a very cool guitar solo!)

Way better than CocoRosie too!






One of the 1980s' most profoundly bizarre characters to emerge through rock music, the late Klaus Nomi specialized in unexpected mixes of vocal styles in anomalous settings. The Bavarian-born singer's awesome falsetto and dramatic tenor were equally applied to classical music and rock'n'roll, producing startling records that ramble wildly from high-pitched operatic vocals accompanied by a synthesized orchestra to ultra-stylized pop and warped interpretations of rock oldies. Nomi's records stretch from hauntingly beautiful (Purcell's stunning "Cold Song") to hysterically funny (a somber reading of "Can't Help Falling in Love," a languid dissection of "The Twist") to straightforward Sparks-like big band rock ("Simple Man"). His final album, a compilation that also includes a live performance, is the one to get, an utterly unique creation that defies you not to fall under its wonderful spell. Nomi died in 1983.

One of the first 7"s I ever bought was a Shadowy Men in a Shadowy Planet single. Within a few years I was assisting in the compilation of their various b-sides and other erratum for a "fan-CD". Anyone who was listening to instrumental/surf rock in the mid-nineties was likely a fan of this Canadian trio, and their final album was recorded by none other than super-fan Steve Albini.

I am pleased to have uploaded a collection of live material, some recorded from atop the CBC cafeteria in downtown Montreal, others from a radio Christmas special, and a few misc live songs recorded elsewhere. At the very end is a 12-minute interview with the band.

Later I will upload the aforementioned "fan-cd" compilation of b-sides and whatnot.
