It's both a fun way to make my remaining brains leak out between my ears, and for me to test myself, see if I can find the good in what might be considered the really bad.

It's at least going to give me a chance to write a humorous (yes I can) review where I do my best to take the album apart, save my sanity and see if I can find anything good about it. Uh, the album, that is. Not my sanity.

Alright then, I'll begin with one I'm quite fond of myself

Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance

YT playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...8D62461E59C398

it's basically a punk album, but with influence from free jazz and avant-garde so obviously it's right up your alley

Such a good album, been way too long since I've heard it. Putting it on today

Shrug. Then I guess this isn't the thread for you.

^Trolls will surely love the bagpipes.

Yes - I nearly didn't choose the album for that reason, thinking TH might be fan o' the pipes. But the rest of it will be unbearable enough for him, I think!

I'd let you skip the queue if I could hon, but if I did that I would have my guts for garters. I'm a real bastard when it comes to me; sometimes I don't know why I put up with me. The way I treat me, I wouldn't take it from anyone else, but I guess in the end I need me as much as I needs me. Or, um, something. Lost in translation? Was it ever found?
