I never heard much of the late-90's stuff...(being that it was the Simeon plus a couple of youngsters, just didn't seem to be a true Silver Apples event...of course, one of those youngsters went on to do some nice stuff as Sybarite, so maybe that stuff is worth another pass)...

should be no shortage of Silver Apples love 'round these parts...I've always thought of them as Suicide fronted by Arthur Lee...one of my favorite SA songs, "You And I", has a classic dum-dum beat, and the nagging synth line has that same "strangled sax" quality you hear in so many Bomb Squad...

holy crap, those are nice...take a bow!

in fact I would not know either from a toaster oven... no worries...I figured I'd get called out for that one...

Morgan Geist's Unclassics comp of a year or so ago was pretty underwhelming, and was met with a collective shrug...seemed to me this was a sign we weren't ready for this sort of revival...

early Detroit techno totally captures the desolate vibe of that city after dark...listening to "Strings Of Life", it is easy to imagine Derrick May hunched over his 808 in his loft, the sun rising through the steam of the power plant outside the window, the Motor City preparing to slog through...

"Lust For Life" was always my favorite, until it got ruined by that Carnival Cruise commercial...as such, I will fall back on "No Fun" or "I Wanna be Your Dog"...

seems like the music of Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown (like that of Bobby Gillespie/Primal Scream) can't be detached from the overall wank-ness of the individual...so what?...why should I care what Ryan Adams (or any musician, for that matter) is really like?...it's not like I hang with them, or even...

how could "Godzilla", with it's anti-nuke message, be construed as conservative?

Green Gartside pretty much defines "fey", and no right-minded listener would dismiss Scritti Politti...one of the things I liked about the unfairly-ignored Anomie & Bonhomie was the interplay of Green's delicate vocal musings with the "rough" rappers employed on several of the tracks...

hard to believe the kick-ass rockin' Sales brothers are the sons of this guy!

well now hold on just a minute...let's not say things we might regret later...now sure, Primal Scream may have taken a wrong turn or two, and say what you want about Bobby G being a wanker and all, but you just can't discount Screamadelica...(even with that piss-poor name)...one of the true...

Larry Graham has much to answer for...

there was a quite good fretless bass player who turned up on a few 4AD releases in the early 90's, and also played with Terry Bickers in Levitation...(in fact, I think he was also in Felt, and I can't believe I'm spacing on his name)...something O'Keefe... isn't Jaco Pastorius considered the...

I couldn't pick out chamber music in a police line-up, but Ryan Teague (who records for Type records) sounds like he fits your description...

does anybody know if "Back Side Of The Moon" is also synced up to Wizard Of Oz? :p

let's not forget VU (like TH and SY) included (and influenced) the ladies...

yes, you have to choose...this is a steel cage match...two go in, one comes out...

hells yeah Talking Heads were the more far-reaching band...it only took them a couple of albums to get "experimental" (hooking up with Eno, exploring African rhythms and what have you)...how long did it take Sonic Youth to "embrace" hip hop?...(not counting the fun but half-hearted Ciccone Youth...

having that DSOTM poster on your bedroom wall in high school was one of the primary signifiers that you were an intelligent stoner...the other ones were: painting the "In The Court Of The Crimson King" LP cover in art class, and wearing either a Rush t-shirt (with the naked man logo) or a Yes...
