'Mr Black' must be in his 60s these days. I saw them last year and they were still fine when JJB was doing the vocals on old numbers like Tank/Death and Night etc, but it was a bit disappointing, overall.

That was a hoot. Rather short lived, but at least there's the xmas special to look forward to. Particularly enjoyed Will Self - "NO-ONE needs an off-road vehicle, unless they're OFF ROAD !!" Too right Will. More time should be given to spleen venting by men of a certain age (they should get Bruce on ! :) Speaking of Self, whatever happened to the new series of Shooting Stars ?

Actually, I just took a quick look at the archive and you included "My Way" it in your best of 2002 post... :) Tim from Dec 31 2002: "Akufen - My Way (Random FM Radio broadcasts sampled and spliced together to make better to make giddy, fractured pop music)" Well, it's good to know you felt the same way about the record then :) Present day Tim also wrote : "Villalobos - Alcachofa (Spidery Surround Sound microwaved housey IDM)" This record and Matthew Dear's "Leave Luck To Heaven" are getting a lot of ink in the microhouse press lately. Frankly, while I do enjoy both records, I am wondering why these 2 records are standing out to where even mainstream US magazines like Spin and Rolling Stone are raving about them. Perhaps they are a bit too glitchy sounding for me? I like my house heavy on the DUB! ~Michael ....Tuning in to the Basic Channel ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V6 #385 *******************************
