    Listening to it now--only on Nude (Track 3) and it's AWESOME! Nude makes me want to weep, it's so gorgeous. And 15 Step rocks glitchcore style, while Bodysnatchers is great straight up rock and fucking roll.

    Not a Ryan Adams fan at all. Zep, Stones, Beatles, Bowie, Doors, Pixies and Smiths are all like classic and indie rock primer bands. Love are sadly underrated and unknown, as are the superb sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators. I've been listening to a lot of The Residents, Pumice, Burial, and Lightning Bolt recently.

    Residents=experimental rock
    Pumice=lo-fi fuzz folk
    Burial=dubstep/DJ Shadow on downers/electronic
    Lightning Bolt=noise rock/noise punk

    Oh yeah, and the usual diet of Circle Jerks, Black Flag, and Dead Kennedys in with the FZ.

    Indeed!

    I'm glad they waited to release a video from the album.

    Likewise.

    I recently downloaded Trans and Everybody's Rockin' by Neil Young until I can buy them on CD.

    The Residents strike me as having crushed the threshhold of musical experimentation. The last time I watched a DVD of their work it reminded me of performance art. Usually I mean that as an insult, but in their case it really worked.

    I love The Residents. Everything they do is as cutting edge in art as it is music in terms of both experimentation and quality. If you saw their Cube-E performances or even the early Mark of the Mole performances, those were totally stage shows with music rather than a concert with a stage show.

    Frunobulax, you seem to know your experimental music pretty well... have you listened to any of John Zorn's projects? I am particularly interested in knowing if you've heard any of Zorn's "Naked City" project?

    That does look like an awesome lineup for Coachella.
    Rage again!
    Bjork live should be interesting, as well.

    I've been interested in them for a while, but I'm kind of intimidated by all the stuff that's out there. Where's a good place to jump in?

    R of G, Naked City is one of my all time favourite bands! Grand Guignol and the S/T are always amazing, and Eye serves the band like a glove (although Mike Patton did a great job elsewhere with the band). Pretty much anything Zorn gets me into a state of bliss, and Merzbow's 1930 released on his label stands as one of the greatest noise albums to date.

    Will, I suggest either The Commercial Album, Fingerprince (and its brother EP Babyfingers), or Duck Stab/Buster and Glen. If you like Negativland, go for The Third Reich 'n Roll.

    In retrospect, I should have known to try "The Commercial Album" I guess. I started listening to it a few minutes ago, very interesting. I'm liking this. Just heard Secrets, creeptacular.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Thank Gan! Somebody I can talk Zorn with. I pretty much fall into the category of Zorn-worshipper. Naked City has always attracted me because I am a guitar player and both Frisell and Frith are heroes of mine, so to hear them play in Zorn project together, and across such a wide range of genres is a real treat.

    My true love as far as Zorn projects go is Electric Masada, and I can tell you why in two words, Marc Ribot. Ribot is my single favorite living guitar player and the biggest inspiration on my own playing. All of the work he does with Zorn is top notch but Electric Masada specifically stands out. I'm too young to have seen the 1974-75 Miles Davis line-up I love so dearly, but seeing Electric Masada [at there home-base of Tonic no less] was about as close as I suspect I'll come to hearing something similar.

    Ok, so since you hit the Zorn question out of the ballpark, here's my "have you heard this obscure album" question. this is one to which i have never received even a "heard of it" answer, but given some of the music to which you are aware, it is quite possible that this one crossed your path at some point. it's an album by artist/director julian schnabel called "every silver lining has a cloud." with schnabel on vocals, it features guest musicians bernie worrell, bill laswell, buckethead and nicky skopelitis among others. laswell produced it. it came out in the mid 90's though i didn't pick it up until i happened across it about four yrs ago. interesting stuff and a chance to hear some of these players in a very different context than usual.

    I've heard of it--seriously! I'm a Bernie Worrell fan via way of Talking Heads, and Buckethead is an interesting enough character to keep me aware of his output. I've been trying to find a copy of it, but to no avail.
