Very poppy and catchy, with lots of humor. Different from Shaking the Habitual, but lots of fun. I can definitely see you partying to it.

I’m sort of new to NiN (though I heard Pretty Hate Machine and Downward Spiral when they were new, though I wasn’t really into it at the time), so it’s good to hear that other recent releases are also worth checking out. The most recent one I have before Bad Witch is Year Zero.

BOC - Fire of Unknown Origin: "Don't Turn Your Back" has such a cool prog-like shuffle going on, sort of spacey too, just wonderful. Then that "He just might blow and spoil the show" line comes in and throws me off. I just gotta laugh every time.

Wow, great selection, David. Hard to know where to start.
Re the Knife album, it’s interesting how I bought that album (Shaking) on a whim a couple of years ago based on 2 factors only: a) it was a double Cd with interesting packaging, and b) I remembered hearing about the band in the Shred a couple years prior (Polymorphia, i believe) and had seen part of a video which wasn’t really my thing but definitely weird enough to grab my attention.

I bought it and was puzzled, but I couldn’t stop listening to it. Like Ariel did years before, it opened my tastes up to new sounds. I now consider it an all- time favorite (top 25? 50? Not sure)

Anyway, enough about me, here’s the short list of what I heard today:

Tim Hecker | Ravedeath 1972
Richard Pryor | Is it Something I Said?
Plan 9 | Keep Yr Cool and Read the Rules
The Residents | Intermission

Yeah Tony has a wicked cool taste in contemporary music styles. I too have found a fair few nuggets amongst his recs.
Funny how so much music almost changes character within the first couple of spins going from ‘WTF?’ to ‘oh my darling’ in the course of a fortnight....well some times things take longer to marinade but the end result is always extremely interesting to me in that I found some new music that I wouldn’t have touched with a ten foot pole earlier on.

A somewhat odd day of music there for you btw Or yeah erm it’s called being eclectic. The Residents and Richard Pryor on the same day has to be one of the best combos I’ve seen in a while.

Yesterday:
Perry Leopold - Christian Lucifer (why this beautiful gem keeps getting overlooked is beyond me. Such an easy album to enjoy)
Dzyan - Mandala (first spin in years (a decade???) and I’d forgotten how awesome this raw mix of eastern vibes and krauty fusion sounds)
Ochre - A Midsummer Nice Dream (chillout IDM with crystal clear PING and DING and BDONG sounds that have a way of tickling the brain in the most wonderful way. Some times they make me sneeze...in a good nose-orgasm manner)
Sun Ra - Space Is The Place
Björn J:Son Lindh - Från Storstad Til Grodspad
Derek & The Dominoes - Live at the Filmore
Lou Reed - Transformer
Walrus - s/t (fans of the Morte Macabre album should dig this big time)

Ahh you too
The LP sickness is spreding like wildfires these days! I understand completely! I also have the cd
Nice undergrund selection btw. Satin Whale eh? Wonderful debut album but man that name
How about Cotton Dolphin or Silk Squid instead?
