(laugh *again*, if you must!) i mean, that's probably just the newness-euphoria talkin'; but, still, this is fucking GOOD. the venus 3, *Propellor Time* ~ only one listen to-date. so far, i'll call it better than *Tarantula*, not in the same universe as *Oslo*. the lyrics to "Evolve" are among robyn's worst, i think. right down there with "I Wish I Liked You". *Mickey Mouse Disco* ~ okay, i was thumbing through my LPs, and spied this one. back when, my siblings and i were *all about* this shit. so, natch, i had to go download it and give it a spin. i'm thrilled to report that it has aged *remarkably* well! no, *really*. realise, ms. brand, that *Crane Wife* was my #2 album for the '00s. so, your back-handed insults will find no purchase hereabouts! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:09:25 +0200 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: Shitty Wok - --On 30.

Huh. I just listened to all three back to back and still like "Tarantula" best and probably the new one least ... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 09:11:10 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Shitty Wok On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 4:09 AM, Sebastian Hagedorn < Hagedorn@spinfo.uni-koeln.de> wrote: > --On 30.

The only thing I know about them is they were somehow affiliated with Brian Jonestown Massacre and they have a pretty good track on the Shawn White Snowboarding game for the Wii. Perhaps I should double-click down on them, as the kids say. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:07:16 -0400 (EDT) From: Christopher Gross Subject: Re: Shitty Wok >> I should probably give them a chance...but "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club" is >> the most desperately hip-seeking, look-at-me band name around, isn't it? > > The only thing I know about them is they were somehow affiliated with > Brian Jonestown Massacre and they have a pretty good track on the Shawn > White Snowboarding game for the Wii.

I guess that changes the name from "way trying too hard" to "origin of all those sort of names, of motorcycle clubs and bands alike, that are way trying too hard." - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:13:21 -0700 From: kevin studyvin Subject: Re: Shitty Wok > I like them well enough.

(1) Does anybody know of a Winamp app that will crossfade tracks in a playlist? and, (2) Having just discovered that some recent problems are due to the fact that the iMic doesn't work properly in Vista, can anybody suggest a Vista-compatible audio capture device? Thanx / KS. I may just be getting too old for this stuff... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 17:55:03 +0100 From: Dr John Halewood Subject: RE: Shitty Wok 2fs scribbled, somewhat exitedly: > > I should probably give them a chance...but "Black Rebel > Motorcycle Club" is > the most desperately hip-seeking, look-at-me band name > around, isn't it? Now as good as Gay Witch Abortion, which is currently heading my list.
