[NewMusic] wayne county shape-shifters

[Travis C. Johns]

whoa. never go a week without checking yr newmus acct... the sheer
exhilaration of sorting through nearly 300 differing opinions on just
about every subject under the sun... fucking... amazing..? ...
overwhelming? ... staggering? other words that end in -ing...!?

so, uhm, have we actually gone as far as to begin bitches-bashing? shit,
that's almost as bad as listening to some 18 year old "heepster" recite
the age old dribble of "yah, I like totally dig the beach boys, like,
waaay more than the beatles..." or for that matter, listening to the
umpteenth umpteen year old at the il corral vehemently exclaim "you
know, like, noise is the new punk...!"

hehheh, how original.

eh, I dunno, maybe it's just my age and upbringing, but bitches was
probably one of the first discs of "out" music that invaded me noggin
way back in the wayback that had a lasting effect on yours truly... I
mean, yeah, it didn't quite have the same face-melting effect as the
first time that I heard spiritual unity or philosophy of the world, but
shit, I guess I was always under the opinion that it was one of those
legendary pressings that was off limits to the usual "uhm, yah, that
solo was quite compelling, but you should really hear this rare
pressing recorded by this franciscan monk in sweden that features this
overblown inverse retrograde line blown while some other legendary
(what do you mean you've NEVER heard of him???) crumhorn player was
sitting in... i mean, he doesn't actually PLAY on the record, but the
sheer fact that he was in the room at the time..."

eh, just reeling it in and all that - i don't mean to be more
vindictively snarkful than usual, but I'm sure we can find better
convopaths to follow other than "hands up if you like bitches... ok,
now hands up if you DON'T like bitches..."

besides, if you really want the "marijuana" experience, toss on a copy
of disc 2 of the complete in a silent way sessions... not like i'd
know, of course...

... sorry, it's been awhile - thought I'd interject with an opinion or
two...
