Petting Zoo is a comp. It has a bunch of stuff on it my Residents mix doesn't have, plus the list price was only five bucks.

 

And that one album from IDRM's avatar is Aphex Twin's Richard D. James Album.

I want some pell grants. I'm an attractive young man, dammit. I've earned them.

 

That's the Richard D. James Album by Aphex Twin, AoO. It's pretty sweet, in a blissfully insane way.

Hey, five bucks for a Residents cd, can't go wrong with that. Definitely pick up Duck Stab somewhere, though. It rules.

Residents albums are difficult to come by in this town, it would seem. I have to order them (I ordered God in Three Persons last week, and I eagerly anticipate its arrival).

Aphex Twin is some good stuff, but like someone said, too insane and chaotic for me to really get into.

Tell me all about Lou Reed's album after you get a listen. As one who has studied Poe's work, i'd be interested to see how a concept album on his work would sound. If anyone can pull off the fucked up nature of Poe's work, its Lou Reed.

Sad, but true: the first time I read this I thought Banky was talking about the band poe.

It's Lou Reed, man of 1,000 unlistenable solo albums. I don't know what you expected. Strangely enough, I had a dream last night about buying a Lou Reed album (mid 70s, if my memory serves me correctly) and thinking it was really great. I awoke in a hot sweat and was relieved to discover that it was just a dream.

Because I've liked many a Reed solo album, is why. Berlin, Coney Island Baby, The Blue Mask and New York are all terrific.

 

It isn't even the pretentiousness of The Raven that's the worst thing. Reed was never a "good" singer, but his voice on this album is showing the wear and tear of old age. He sounds downright awful at times.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but you're using Pell Grants to buy CD's?!

 

Shouldn't that $$ be used for, you know, education?...
