Kang's Virginal Coordinates
by Craig Lieske 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

I got to hear "Virginal Coordinates" when I was in NY in the spring. I think it is the most subdued, and most mature statement I've heard Kang make yet. I am a fan of his stuff with SC3 and the Tzadik records, and I think it ranks right up there with "The Story Of Iceland" on his list of superlative achievements.

ween- quebec
by ahorton 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

The fundamental problem with Ween's last few albums is that they've made the unfortunate transition from making really fucked up, lo-fi, wacky songs and records ("the pod", "pure guava", "god ween satan") to just being a "normal" band with "slightly quirky" touches and unconventional lyrics. Ween were always a novelty act, but a damned good one - but now they're trying to be normal. Whereas they'd rip a "let me lick your pussy" or "baby bitch" with no thought before, their recent records only get as daring as "bananas and blow", and spend about half their time doing really "normal" songs with normal themes and normal lyrics. Add to that a sort of AOR studio production sheen complete with proficient session musicians, and they've thrown out everything that made us like them to begin with. androo

Hi yall, Sometime in the eighties I remember reading about all the home "outsider" musicians that were releasing records. Jandek is the best know but were there not others.... I remember reading about someone called Copernicus. I can find nothing about him or anyone else and my old Options (where I think I read this or perhaps the first year of Spin) have long since left my collection. Can anyone shed any information on this and please add your opinions. Thanks. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software
