You know, every year, albums come out that are great, but don't get a whole lot of attention, or even good reviewes from critics. So, with that in mind, what are the best albums that didn't get the attention they deserved, or at leat in your opinion?

New addition "1 Night in China"-The Chyna/X-Pac tape sex tape. May be the most disturbing movie of the year. I haven't seen it, but judging from descriptions, and pictures I've seen, it's more disturbinng than hell.

You know, this tape may be like the tape from "The Ring", only instead of Samara popping out of the screen, it would be Chyna's inhumanly large clit. That, plus I have a feeling that seeing the tape could kill you, or bring forth Lovecraftian levels of madness.

"My God, I'm Mr. Ass, and I don't even want to fuck her!"

You know, in the movies and TV board, theres a thread about what is the most disturbing/disgusting movie ever made Ladies and Gentlemen, we may have one of the right here in this sex tape. Should become a Halloween classic. "You think that "Last House on the Left" ,"Cannibal Holocaust", and Passolini's "Salo: 120 Days of Sodam" are fucked up, just wait till you see "1 Night in China!"

After last nights Drawn Together, I want 50 dollars, just so I can overexaggerate over it.

Wow you guys...I'm impressed with the list. A good mention In a Glass Cage-Pedophilliac former nazi is in an iron lung. His new nurse is one of his past victims. The nurse procedes to....I can't even mention, it makes me feel sick.

Saw last nights "Tom Goes to the Mayor", and it's official: this is the best new show of the fall season ("Drawn Together" gets a close second) I mean come on, it has had Bob Odenkirk, an insane mayor, a 27 year old reduced to being a kid by his inhaler, a Chuckee Cheese style mechanical band with a singing, farting Hitler, Tenacious D, bear traps, and even more. If you don't like this show, then fine: go watch "Full Metal Alchemist" or whatever (I don't really like that show too mmuch. GITS Stand Alone Comples is pretty cool though.) As for Super Milk Chan: This shows starting to grow on me (and what I wouldn't give for a transcript of the "Mr.Shin Show" bit)

Picture of Goldberg as Santa has made it as a FARK photoshop contest http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1220343

Funniest thing I've read all day Actually, I think it would sound like a rhino anda very large dog

They said on "Drawn Together" Spanky Ham said it.

Wow, a library dedicated to George Clinton, in Arkansas? That's an odd place. Oh, you mean Bill Clinton. Never Mind. Personally, I'll say this about him: Not as bad as some people say, but not as great either. I'm just surprised that there actually is a library in Arkansas (No offense to any TSM board members in Arkansas)

You know, I have Asperger Syndrome (no joke), and well cynicalprofit, you haven't offended me. I really don't care anyways. The Vines suck, IMO. Give me Ministry's new album any day over their generic shit.

Allright folks, Goldberg's Santa vs. Kane's Eye Scream Man who would win?

"I Like What You Do to Babys" This is so quotable, I'm putting it on my sig.

Tonights South Park Much better than the previous new episodes over the past few weeks. The cough syrup trip had me in stitches. Also, Butters ruled, and for some reason, the dogs amused me. as for Dawn Together I fucking loved this one. The best "Star Wars" parody in ages, an vague reference to the sci-fi/horror flick "Event Horizon"(Ling Ling saying he's seen "Horrible Things") Jokes about bulemia and anorexia, a great Disney song parody, Ling Ling and the chicken, Spanky Ham in general, Foxy and Captain Hero's relationship, meat moving on it's own, cameo's from Natascha from "Rocky and Bullwinkle" and Charlie Brown (that one was just wrong), the ending, and the first time I've heard the word "Bukkake" used on TV.... ....I love this show.

My guess on what will happen now that Powell has resigned: He will sponser a new laxative called "Colon Pow!" Hey, why not?

Didn't know where else to post this, but anyway http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail118.html This, IMO, is one of the best SB e-mails yet

Space Machine-"3"-Yamazaki Maso (Mostly known for his harsh noise project Masonna) presents a change of pace with a psychedeleic synth project, reminicent of old sci-fi synthesizer projects and albums. Made up of 3 ep's, and a live performance.

I'm sure not many people who post on this board are unaware of the Coil, but for those of us who are (such as myself) I have some sad news to report check out http://www.thresholdhouse.com/index2.html and http://brainwashed.com/coil/ for more information

Time for the third and final disc to be reviewed. Disc 3 A Question of Lust-Remix by Flood-1986-A bit more beat orinated thne the original version, but still maintains the ambient, joy and hoplessness feeling that the original captured. Nothing great, but acceptable. ***/**** Walking in My Shoes-Random Carpet Mix (Full Length) by William Orbit-1993-Not as symphonic as the original though the electronic buzzes and bulses, added with break beats, makes it a tasty number. ***1/2/**** People are People-Are People People? Mix by Adrien Sherwood-1984-Vocal free dub, which is saved by excellent use of reggae samples that appear and reappear, making it great for both clubs and dancehalls. ***1/2/**** World in My Eyes-Daniel Miller Mix-1990-Excellent, live sounding drum beat to what could have been a drab mix. Heard better, but heard worse. **1/2/**** I Feel Loved-Labor of Love Dub (Edit) by Dany Tengalia-2001- I normally don't like trance music, but I adore this mix. A driving beat, excellent use of vocal echoes, and a deep understanding on how to make you shake your ass and dance. It's No Good-Future Mix by Club 69-1997-Ugh, ugh, ugh, UGH! (And not the camp conselor from "Salute Your Shorts") My least favorite mix on the set, is way too mainstream dance-music for my tastes. To me, it's everything I don't like about dance music. Why couldn't they just have used the Orb's excellent remix of "Happiest Girl", or Dan the Automators remix of "Only When I Lose Myself" instead of this trifle bullshit? 0/**** Photographic-Rex the Dog Remix-2004-This is much better. A crisp dance track, free of vocals, that has a nice little dance beat, and great synth lines make this track an improvement over the previous debacle of a mix. ***1/2/**** Little 15-Ulrich Schauss Remix-2004-By and far, my favorite remix of the set. Maintains the sorrowful feel of the original, while stripping it down to it's barest bits, creating an exceptional IDM/Ambient feeling that really works. Just a great example of how to do a remix. ****/**** Nothing-Rock Mix by Headcleaner-2004-Listenable but generic rock remix. Next! **/**** Lie to Me-"Pleasure of Her Private Shame" mix by LFO-2004-No, not the boy band LFO, the old Sheffield techno group LFO. Great IDM/Minmailist beat techno mix that somehow manages to stay true to the original. ***1/2/**** Clean-Colder Version by Colder-2004- Stripped down, acid techno (not acid house) mix with beats, and acid like synths maintain a mix of machine coldness and human warmth. ***1/2/**** Halo-Goldfrapp Remix-2004-Excellent minimal mix strips away the beats,uses harps, seabreeze cold synths, and Allyson Goldfrapp singing the chorus. An exceptional mix. ****/**** Enjoy the Silence-Reinterperated by Mike Shinoda-2004-Yes, THAT Mike Shinoda. Don't worry, no one from Linkin Park sings. In fact, this is actually a good mix, with minimal electronics, harsh synth/organ stabs, and melodic piano work. A nice way to end the set. ***1/2/**** Well, that's it. Thoughts? Comments? I'd like it if you posted them. Finally, here is a question: Do You want a piece of Shockmaster? http://tehshockmaster.ytmnd.com/

Alright now, on to disc 2 Disc 2 Personal Jesus-Pump Mix by Francois Kevorkian-1989-The original beat is there, and samples of a televangelist pop up, once again showing off Kevorkian's excellent understanding of house, dub, and disco. However, the emission of the original's excellent blues guitar riffs omits a star. ***/**** World in My Eyes-Mode to Joy Mix by Jon Marsh-1990-Excellent House remix with great latin percussin, samples, and electronic programming. A real winner. ****/**** Get the Balance Right!-Combination Mix by Depeche Mode-1983 -Alot like the Original, though the slow beginning, and synth stabs save it from mediocraty. ***/**** Everything Counts-Absolut Mix by Alan Moulder-1989 -Lyrics appear randomly, as it's a basic fun 80's mix, though the excellent synth work (which are very techno-esque) make it a surprise winner. ***1/2/**** Stripped-Breathing in Fumes Mix by Depeche Mode, Daniel Miller, and Gareth Jones-1986-Similar to the previous mix, though it maintains the industrial stomp of the original. It doesn't have the exceptional synth work of the previous mix, but at one point, the chorus is electronically altered, making another winner. ***1/2/**** Pain Killer-Kill the Pain-DJ Shadow vs. Depeche Mode mix by DJ Shadow-1997-It's mixed by DJ Shadow, so of course, it's great. Soul music samples show up hear and there, though break beats only appear once, and briefly. In a sense, the mix is a taste of things to come for Shadow, and is a practical preview of his "Private Press" Album. ****/**** Useless-Kruder and Dorfmeister Session mix by Kruder and Dorfmeister-1997-This mix also appears on the awesome"Kruder and Dorfmeister Sessions" mix-albu. Great use of the original's basslines, while the hip-hop beats fit perfectly. The final third is breezy and chilled. ****/**** In Your Room-The Jeep Rock Mix by Johnny Dollar and Portishead-1994-Upbeat hip hop break beat is used, almost similar to the one used in Rob D's "Clubbed to Death". The originals synth lines are put to good use. ***/**** Dream on-Acoustic Version by Dave Clark-2001-Alot like the original, only instrumental. The original was good, but it's the acoustic guitar that makes this one work. ***/**** It's No Good-Speedy J Mix-2001-Minimalist, almost IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) style mix with fun, danceable beats, and random snippets from the original. Disposable, but enjoyable. ***/**** Master and Servent-An On-U Sound Science Fiction Dance Hall Classic Mix by Adrien Sherwood-1984-If you've ever heard Ministry's 1985 album "Twitch", you'll get something similar. This one could best be described as a synth pop/dancehall/dub/industrial hybrid, making it all the more fun. ***1/2/**** Enjoy The Silence-Timo Mass Extended Mix-2004-I was quite suprised by this one, seeing how I normally don't care for Timo Mass. Something of a Progressive House/Trance mix, though it never get's too hyper, or never gets too calm and laidback. A pleasent suprise. ***1/2/**** One disc to go. Hope you're enjoying the read so far. Oh, and please come visit me dawg- http://littlebrittleandthecbag.ytmnd.com/ (I could listen to that all day.)

Recently, I bought the limited edition 3 disk set of remixed Depeche mode songs, and with nothing else to do, decided to review it disk for disk. So, on with the show! Disk 1 Never Let Me Down Again-Split Mix by Depeche Mode & Dave Bascombe-1987-Essentially a 12" mix, with an extended instrumental section, and bits of the Aggro mix found on "Music For the Masses" Good, but nothing spectacular. ***/**** Policy of Truth-Capitol Mix by Frankois Kevorkian-1990- Kevorkian is a legendary DJ/Remixer, and I like this track. Basic old school acid hose beat, with added samples make it a fun tune. ***/**** Shout-Rio Mix by Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller-1981-Nice Little 80's style mix, complete with danceable 80's drum machine, and some decent synth lines. ***/**** Home-Air "Around The Golf Mix" by Air-1997-Excellent remix, with a great trip hop beat, chilly organs, and what you would expect from the group Air. ****/**** Strangelove-Blind Mix by Daniel Miller and Rico Conning-1987 -Good late 80's style club mix, with echoing beats, bits of the original, and added sounds. ***/**** Rush-Spiritual Guidance Mix by Jack Dangers-1993-Holy shit, this one is awesome, and even better than the original. Hip Hop beats and samples, acidy synth noises, excellent bass; it's just too good. ****/**** I Feel You-Afghan Surgery Mix By Renegade Soundwave-1993-Cool dub electro mix, without vocals, and a nice echoing, almost dub like beat. Nice use of the screeching guitar from the original version . ***1/2/**** Barrel of a Gun-Hard Mix by Underworld-1997-Ugh. I Normally like Underworld, but this one is too UK Rave for my tastes. Grows boring. */**** Route 66-Beatmasters Mix-1987-Awesome mix with samples from "Behind the Weel", as well as samples from the show "Name that Tune" and a great hip hop breakbeat. ****/**** Freelove-DJ Muggs Mix-2001-Another even better than the original mix. This one is mixed as a rock song, with drums, guitar, the whole deal. Yet somehow, it all works. ***1/2/**** I Feel Loved-Chamber's Mix by Chamber-2001-Not as good as the original, or as Danny Tengalia's Mix, but still cool. Kind of Trancey, though I normally don't like trance. ***/**** Just Can't Get Enough-Schizo Mix by Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller-1981-More like an extended version of the original, though still better than Underworld's mix of Barrel of a Gun. Listenable, but nothing exceptional. **1/2/**** More to Come, so don't worry.

Depeche Mode-Remixes 81-04 (Limited Edition 3 disc set) . I'd give it 9/10. Inspire of a few poor mixes, and the exclusion of the Orb's exceptional mix of "Happiest Girl", it's a pretty awesome. I'm actually going to review it disc for disc on the board soon.

Only one thing can save the WWE now... JASON VORHEES, BITCHES!
