Thanks bq3000, will have to check that out. Is pitchfork all that reliable anymore? I used to go there for album recommendations until they stopped ringing true...and when the snark got too overwhelming to read on a daily basis. And anyone who needs to accentuate their point in a review by completing it with "(hardee-f**king-har)" is hardly worth reading or taking seriously.

I did that poll last year and found that on average, they gave records sevens, or something like that. I kinda stopped reading it.

I hear you with Pitchfork as a reliable vis-a-vis reliable album recommendations. But c'mon. Have I lead you astray with the grime and The Avalanches, and The Books?

I buy (and love) everything you recommend, BQ. Keep it up!

Oh, I am totally running out and buying MJs at lunch today! Your word = 1000x pitchfork's word.

is 679 affiliated with the Vice label? I think there is an MJ track in the CD/DVD sampler (along with the Streets, natch) that came with my new issue of Vice..

Needed something to put me over 20 to get free shipping (yes, I know I spent 28 bucks to save 4) on Amazon, so picked this up. For the record: my music recommendations are: Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black ~ Public Enemy Yo! Bum Rush the Show ~ Public Enemy and Sephardic Romances ~ Galician Traditional and my all product recomendations are : Left Luggage (DVD Krijn ter Braak) Eazy-Duz-It ~ Eazy-E and The Chronic ~ Dr. Dre Also recommended are both 2 Live Jews albums, a bunch of Israeli films, a buttload holocaust DVDs (no business like shoah business) and a bunch of books on eastern orthodox iconography. After refreshing, I'm now getting recommendations for assorted British indie rock as well.

I (proprietary eponym deleted)'d a 1991 Saturday Night Live on E! a week or so ago. Host: Michael Jordan Music: Public Enemy 'Can't Truss It' cameos: Jesse Jackson (reading Dr. Seuss), Norm from cheers, Spike Lee the syndicated version omitted this, but I remember watching this episode live back in High School and PE dedicated a FULL minute of silence to Miles Davis, who had passed on a couple of days before the show. Flav wore a 'Wicked Witch' hat for a good portion of their performance. ....HERE COME THE DRUMS!... Bass in yr face not an 8 track... while we missed out after our meeting w/ Mr. Clint Conley, Carlton Ridenhour aka Chuck D was on the TUFTS campus last night as well. Dawn: is his Air America show still on? When does it air?

It's a super album. Thanks, BQ3k - steered me right again!

Came last night all by its lonesome in a gigantic box (I will probably get another, equally gigantic box with the other cd I ordered today). The Mystery Jets didn't really call out to me on the first run through, and I kept thinking that I really should listen to things before I spend $30 on them, but they improved with each listen.

Third time's a charm.

Roll a spliff on the neat gatefold packaging, it'll enhance your listening experience.
