hello peoples i bought "the genius of bertrand burgalat" today...it is genius indeed. highest recommendation. i've also been playing with that sonic foundry Acid program, pretending to be on Warp Records. it's like tetris, fun and addicting. someone said something about whether or not B&S would sound different w/ session musicians...i do believe the Dog On Wheels EP was recorded with only Stu's M & D and then some session-type music program students so i guess we have an answer to that, eh? doesn't sound too bad- it would really blow if the band broke up but i guess stu m has shown that he can still cut the song-flavored mustard with anyone...or is it the song-smelling cheese? i saw a copy of the "Get Carter" soundtrack on vinyl for $20 today while i was out getting the Bertrand CD. does anyone know if the soundtrack is worth $20? its brand new, wrapped and all, and i do love the get carter theme (stereolab's version is quite spiffy). i usually dig the old soundtracks and whatnot, but i'm hesitant to pay $20. can anyone help me? with all of the talk about ringo... would we think differently of him if he were sampled ad infitiumby hip/trip/slop hoppers a la clyde stubblefield and jabo starks (old james brown drummers for those who don't know...probably THE most sampled drummers in rap/hip hop music.) thanks to michael jackson, the bastard, we'll never know. (for those who don't know what i'm talking about, michael jackson actually bought the publishing rights to nearly all of the beatles back catalogue, thereby giving samplers and beat junkies a righteous "fuck off". one wonders why he never sampled the fucking songs himself....i mean what the fuck does one do with beatles' publishing rights? frame them and put them on your wall? christ, jacko could even build a "beatles back catalogue" theme park... do SOMETHING with the fucking songs. oh wait, he sold "revolution" to nike and made a shitload of money off of it. that's one song. i guess that means no "revolution rollercoaster". i guess that's what you expect from someone who thinks he looks like edgar allen poe. i thought wackos were supposed to made exciting music, but mr j has been less and less interesting musically in recent years, post-nose-disintegration. because, even though his skin got lighter around the "bad" era, he still had a nose. he even did "moonwalker". what happened after that? his nose fell off and he broke a bunch of car windows on tv after hanging out with maculay culkin for too long a period of time. (even maculay culkin knew Jacko wasn't cool anymore- the next music vide he appeared in was from sonic youth, and it was directed by harmony korine. maybe HE should have told jacko to do something with the beatles back catalogue.) christ, jacko probably doesn't even like chimps anymore, now that he has a kid to put diapers on instead. my "long ridiculous post" alarm is sounding so i guess i should stop. the thing is, michael jackson is telling me "don't stop till you get enough"... but i think we've had enough. i'm going to put thriller on the turntable. until next time... gracias, aloha, moonwalks and white gloves (i mean glove), mike j simiansurvival@aol.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
