i am listening mostly to stuff that i swiped from noddy whilst visiting, back when he went and saw autechre.
comments:
#2- Haiku D'Etat - yeah, i picked this up just before my grand jaunt began, maybe in march? good stuff, reminds me of when rap was fun, and INTERESTING, lyrically. not that this is a "fun" record; it's some serious shit too. Aceyalone can bring it, and I;m anxious to pick up some of his solo stuff when I gets back in da money.
#5- TG - i didn't know this was out on disc... must have. must have. must have. really. must.
#7- Soma - i listened to this whilst down there in noddyville, and got a copy to whet the appetite. Also liked #8 very much. Another thing to pick up when the money tree refoliates...
my picks:
a) LPD - Crushed Velvet Apocalypse - I think Noddy said he wasn't as much a fan of this album as most others of theirs, but I like it... then again, I aint heard all of their shit like he has, so it could slide down the list with time. I may be mistaken, though, on which it was that he dissed. Anyways, I like it fine.
b) Gry - Public Recording - still pumping this big time to everyone I see here in Toronto; ther have been converts. Going to looksee about that other Gry release tomorrow at the imports only store, then the hidden temple of bootlegs store. So far, all over the country (US) it's just like back home; that album don't exist on these shores.
c) Smog - Dongs of Sevotion - I've said enough. I'm always listening to either this one or another, "Knock Knock".
d) Tool - Lateralus - preparing for the august show in PDX with King Crimson. I should be back by then. Tickets onsale 7/19 @ ticketbastard, people.
e) adverts - my host here is an account manager with a very large marketing group, that happens to handle Effem Foods, which is the Canadian version of M&M/Mars. I overhear brainstorming sessions. One, about a new program to launch soon for Skittles (they are searching for a slogan), wherein they hide odd colored and flavored Skittles in the packs, and they want you to goto the website and identify the new flavor. woo. So anyways, I'm listening to all of this, and I pipe in with what I think the slogan should be, and... they may use it. I have inadvertantly become a fucking part of the machine. I apologize in advance. But then again, it's kinda neat to think my words may end up being repeated all over the gawddamn continent. I can say, "Yeah, that's mine." Like, anyone would care. Including me, prolly. But still.
