Ditto the entire recorded works of the late, lamented Shooby Taylor. At least one other person on this list will know what I mean by the tight-a$-$hit three-voice "hocketing" as performed by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum in, dang, is it "Sleep is (W)Rong" or "Sleepytime (Spirit is a Bone)"? That shit is just scary live. Also, I just picked up (on the strength of the inexorable infectiousness and hypnotic quaity of a video for one song that I found on an animation anthology DVD), a disc by The Real Tuesday Weld, "I, Lucifer." The song in question being "Bathtime in Clerkenwell," and, geez, this whole track is just one sustained, high-test tickle to the ribs. The only vocals are (apparently sampled/tweaked) sorta bubbly, syncopated, multi-layered scat-babbling. I can't do any better than that describing it - but I'd bet youtube could supplement,... da9ve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 08:33:09 -0500 From: Steve Schiavo Subject: For your listening pleasure Regale your coworkers -- - - Steve ______________________ Zermatism dictates that government can never be populated with anything other than filthy boil-stricken thieves, toothless whores bursting with gonorrhea, closet grave robbers, and drooling Satanists that laugh as they pull wings off flies. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 08:36:55 -0500 From: Steve Schiavo Subject: Bruce - - Steve __________ I can't resist an anime that includes a small, cute, violence prone girl with a scythe. - John ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:43:20 -0400 From: "m swedene" Subject: Re: Bruce After all Bruce is the boss.

That shit is just scary live. I doubt I'm the other person you're thinking of, but I have the album that's from, and yeah that's a pretty impressive, intense moment, among many. Too many moments too close to metal on there for me to unreservedly like it...but the progginess doesn't bother me. For some reason they're a local favorite of sorts: our indie radio station WMSE (www.wmse.org if you want to listen online) must have brought them to town like once or twice a year for the last few years. > > > -- > > ...Jeff Norman > > The Architectural Dance Society > http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:24:18 -0400 From: "m swedene" Subject: Photos from 4/9/08 show I finally uploaded them to my site. http://gallery.mac.com/mswedene#100019 have fun!

How do you know it wasn't in the near past? "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write.

Well see that's the problem: once a time machine's been invented, it always will have been been invented, so I guess it will have had been the past but it isn't now. Or wasn't.

(there was a time when i could sit pretty much motionless, listening to "liquid diamonds." that song was actually the first thing of hers i thought of re: this thread - and that's one of ones that turns out to actually be words sort of hidden beneath layers of sound, well, hidden in plain sight in some strange way that i can't really describe, but, god, i love that moment at which those otherworldly sounds turn into "a lilac mess in your prom dress.") also, i love when i can hear her breathe during gaps in "hey jupiter." as ever, lauren - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:53:59 EDT From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: Re: REAP very sad - saw the last boston show very moving performance In a message dated 4/18/2008 12:25:03 A.M.
