I find this odd. When this record came out it was a good year before a person
could walk around in most parts of New York w/o hearing it. It was probably
as well-played as Paul's Boutique. Love that record.

samples.

Well I find that odd. You must've lived in a pretty rad neighborhood.

The Church - Priest=Aura

Adorable - Fake

i'm willing to bet no-one cares about all of the tim kinsella projects i love, so i'm not going to bother talking about them again.

I love Tim Kinsella's work no matter how arty or pretentious people may think it is. My favorite is Joan of Arc's "Live in Chicago 1999." Such a damn fine record.

i was going to say the same thing and put Live in Chicago 1999 and The Gap in there. but i figured absolutely no one would care. looks like we were wrong.

Yello - Claro Que Si: If you take the Residents off the Ralph Records
roster, this is the single best Ralph record to date. Even with The Residents
on the roster, it's as good as any of the great Resident records. Was recorded
in the golden years of Ralph.

I own, and enjoy rhis record quite a bit.

I really like Circle X's Celestial. I don't know a lot of people who have even heard of Circle X, unless they were from Louisville or Brooklyn.

Celestial is a record I listen to about once a week, and I love it to pieces. I regret not having seen them more than a handful of times. I have given copies of this to many people, and I have convinced several complete strangers to purchase it when I have seen it in the used bin.

Circle X. Completely underrated band.

i've got several issues with the XpressWay compilations..

i've met one other person that gives a shit..
and he's the one that turned me on to them..

hmmm...

anything by Mort Sahl..
i own all of his records...i want bootlegs..

although i know there are people out there who care a lot..i've never met any of them..

i'm not sure it counts as an album..

but i know one person as crazy over Mel&Floyd as i..
and i turned him on to them..

Mel&Floyd Forever!

I thought everybody liked this record. I sure do, and I've been to more than one party where it was played.

This is album is twistedly goofy.

And it was the last thing they put out before Jan Berry's paralyzing car wreck.

That's the only Swirlies album I own. In Harmony New Found Freedom is my fav off that.

The first and second Mr Bungle albums I love. Nobody else seems to. For probably good reasons.
