yes by the title of my post it is obvious that at last my copy of sex clark five's 'crimson panzer' has arrived, sigh, so magnificent. how could something this marvelous have been born in alabama? am i wrong to think that skynryd is archetypal alabaman fare? are there any alabamans on the list? john peel played nearly the whole sc5 record a few months or actually many months back and i didn't actually hear it but i saw it on a playlist and of course tht was the first i knew of a new record and the beginning of my quest. and then last evening after listening four times in succession the evening before i settled in for the napoleon documentary and thought of all of the history lessons in sex clark five(the new album has loads) and i thought of the limits of cleverness in a pop star, the maximum amount of clever you are allowed to have before you are too clever to be famous. maybe a pop scientist will devote a dissertation to this subject. pitchfork reviewed the gentle waves album and predictably trashed it, i laugh at their claim to professionalism. i am anxiously awaiting their best of the year list with nonrepentant bores like shellac, modest mouse and radiohead riding high. steve albini is quoted on the vh-1 special on hard rock saying good things about king crimson(is this arch?). my girlfriend has the gentle waves record but i have yet to hear it, i quite liked the first one, loads better than those looper grebos. someone forwarded me a distressing bit of spam about america having its constitution revoked and the return on monarchial rule over the former colonies and it was terribly smug and derisive and shallow and off putting. apparently not knowing the difference between an australian accent and english accent is reason for death or something near to that. it is always a surprise to me how a country once in america's current global role has developed a severe case of short term memory. anyhow. didn't william daly once have a full head of hair? has he been undergoing chemotherapy in between trying to get out the vote in cemeteries all over palm beach county? davey butler for secretary of state. the new girl sc5 singer is fab too. and april 10th is the date for the new of montreal record:) my dream tour is sc5 and of montreal. why do all of the cool bands go to london instead of denver, colorado? we have lovely views you know. keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
