the monkey puzzle: strike while the irony is hot

strike while the irony is hot

The Onion Does It Again^TM - 37 record store clerks feared dead in Yo La Tengo concert disaster.

"These people are simply not in the physical condition to survive this sort of trauma. It's just a twisted mass of black-frame glasses and ironic Girl Scouts T-shirts in there.."

Also, Rough Trade are selling the 5th edition of Eno and Schmidt's now 27-year-old Oblique Strategies pack of cards. acb was always pretty keen on them, I still have his PalmOS adaptation around for when I need instant inspiration.

A review of the nice, quiet Neil Halstead solo release, that I'd just been revisiting yesterday after Eugenie picked it up and mailed me her thoughts...

...and why haven't Laibach ever covered any Kraftwerk tunes ? They're just ripe for the picking by those wacky funsters.

i donate to :

but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :

Feed ?
