Hostel was highly enjoyable. Very well paced throw-back to a 70's survival / adventure horror movie.

Just off the top of my head, there's Akercocke, Anaal Nathrakh, reliable Cathedral, Esoteric (psychedelic doom), Jesu (great stuff, anybody who hasn't heard their most recent EP should get themselves to a record shop), Napalm Death (agreed about them improving, the last disc was just punishingly...

Nobody devoted themselves quite as singularly to food as Hasil Adkins, whether it be "Peanut Butter Rock N Roll" or "No More Hot Dogs", but those pale in comparison to his inspiring "Poultry In Motion" compilation: Chicken Hunch Chicken Hop Chicken Run Chicken Wobble Cookin'Chicken Chicken...

E-40 also appeared (alongside Big Boi) on the excellent "Ham Sandwiches And Coupe De Villes", which (although I thought it was a 40 track), apparently appeared on a Big Gipp disc. And, although it was mentioned on the massive Food song list, Zappa's "Call Any Vegetable Suite" deserves a special...

This doesn't convey the pure hilarity of Flea's missive, definitely worth checking out... Date: Tues, May 2 Subject: From: "Michael Balzary" To: members@redhotchilipeppers.com when i woke up this morning i was was confronted with the news that our record has been leaked to the internet...

Old thread, but just picked up that Lehmber Hussainpuri disc "Folk Attack" and it's excellent. Dr. Zeus handles production for the whole project, and it comes highly recommended.

Took a trip out to Vancouver, BC with the family around a year ago for a short while, and will be revisiting the area in a month or so with much more time to wander around. Already done a bit of geekery, wandering around to used bookstores, art galleries, various music stores (Beat Street...

Ah, there's no debating the sainthood of the mighty Keiji Haino. Listen to "Vertigo" off the Fushitsusha disc "Withdrawe, This Sable Disclosure Ere Devot'd" and tell me that the man responsible shouldn't be feted for eternity. Admittedly he does have a bit of a product glut issue at times, but...

The classic American Death Metal grunt. There was actually an album from a Polish (?) metal group called Rotting Christ a while back with a lead singer that sounded exactly like Cookie Monster, note-for-note. Talk about living up to the stereotype! Anyway, sorry for the derailment...

If you think Shagrath sounds like Cookie Monster, you must have had a completely unhinged version of Sesame Street out your way...

Don't hold out much hope for this, but figured I'd give it a shot...any ballet heads out there? I've been trying to track down some kind of VHS/DVD video of Anna Pavlovna's solo dance of "Le Cygne / The Dying Swan" from 1950 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Cygne_%28classical_composition%29)...

"Donuts" is fantastic, sounds like everything the last Quasimoto album should have been. This is incredibly sad news, though.

I imagine Laurence Sterne's "Tristram Shandy" should fit the bill pretty nicely then. Typographical experiments and ingenious mucking about with language and design from the 18th century. He leaves blank pages for the reader to fill in character descriptions, represents certain text and...

Our 19 month old daughter will pass out instantly upon contact with either Makoto's "O Si Amos..." or Acid Mother's "Pink Lady Lemonade" (the hour long version from the "Do Whatever You Want..." set). We do have to slink in and turn down the short noise section half an hour into the "Pink...

I'd also definitely throw in the Current 93 / Thomas Ligotti collaboration "I Have A Special Plan For This World". Definitely Les Rallizes Denudes and their haunting wash of feedback and anguished, eternally echoing vocals (if they haven't already been suggested)...and what about Reynol's...

"Fairytale Of New York" is truly one of the finest tracks ever recorded. Always makes me tear up like a big softie.

"Whispering Foils"! Forgot about that album...very lovely stuff.

Speaking as a fellow Canadian, I should point out (or maybe I shouldn't) that Tom Green has now unleashed an entire Comedy/Rap disc featuring tracks like "Teachers Suck" and "Goofy Rockin Chair" that make his Organized Rhyme days sound like Big Daddy Kane. Truly, truly embarassing.

Bun B "Trill" Clipse "Lord Willin'" Gorillaz "Demon Days" Delta 5 "1979-1981: Singles And Sessions" Young Jeezy "Thug Motivation 101" Breakestra "Hit The Floor" David Murray 4tet & Strings "Waltz Again" ...and Brian Setzer's "Dig That Crazy Christmas", which I can't honestly recommend ;) ...

Robert Fripp makes reference (via John G. Bennett) to Gurdjieff's teaching on the (much under-rated) "Exposure" album as well. He spent a year at Sherbourne House studying various belief systems inspired by Mr. G.
