    Scritti Politti

    I have all the Scritti records, and have to say that Provision is the one I've listened to the most, and the one I'd least give up without a fight...(a slap fight, mind)...which I guess makes me some kind of freak, but what the heart wants...

    I just figured his cryptic verbal posts were the lyrics to some post-punk song that I didn't (but should) know...they do seem very Mark E Smith...

    if you're ever back in Ann Arbor, be sure to check out School Kids Records "In Exile", so named because they moved from a prior location to the basement of a camping store!...(Bivouac is the name of the camping store)...getting back on topic: guys too...

    documentary films

    I get a kick out of contemporary religion documentaries, it's sorta like bearing witness to some kind of odd and exotic civilization, like those Pitcairn's Island folks...two of the better ones are: Hell House - a peek into a "haunted house" created by a hardcore Pentecostal church at Halloween...

    Ghost Box - recommendations?

    say, you don't see a lot about Trunk records 'round these parts, but seems to me that the two labels are after the same thing, albeit one is past, the other is present...

    Tom Cruise scientology video

    Scientologists were also allowed (maybe still are) to set up those "stress test" booths at will in NYC subways, and in fact city-sanctioned ads for the subway system promoted them, until public outcry forced the city to remove them...

    Great soul LPs

    if you like the lush sounds of Philly soul, you'd probably also dig the stuff Charles Stepney did for the Chess/Cadet labels in the early 70's: The Dells - Sing The Hits Of Dionne Warwicke (sic) Minnie Riperton - Come To My Garden Terry Callier - Occasional Rain and of course The Rotary...

    When genre names morph

    of course, garage initially referred to rock, Nuggets-era bands like the Sonics and such... glam morphed (at least stateside) into another term for hair-metal... seems like house has splintered into so many sub-genres that the term on it's own is meaningless...

    Wedding request

    Euro weddings must be much more fun than American ones...(no way in hell you'll hear Baby D or Betty Boo at a reception in the States)...

    Wedding request

    "Sweet Little Mystery" by John Martyn, I've always wanted to hear that at a wedding...it sounds like such a wedding song until you listen closer to the lyrics, which detail a bitter break-up...but it's so smooth that most people are unlikely to notice...
