― duane (doorag), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Small Change is great and has a couple of my all-time favorite Tom Waits songs on it, most notably "Step Right Up", which was the tune that destroyed my early teenage notions that Tom Waits' songwriting abilities were limited to the 'bummer' end of the spectrum.

The rainy weather here has been inspiring my listening choices today; so far I've listened to Sigur Ros' Von, and Joy Division's Closer, and am currently rocking to the max Morphine's Bootleg Detroit live album. Shit. Yeah.

I think I'm gonna put Fantomas' Director's Cut on next as my fight-the-afternoon-lethargy-with-a-vengeance choice.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to quebec AGAIN (Ween, if'n ya didn't know). I kinda can't get enough of it. Current track = "The Argus", which is so lovely, I kinda can't believe it's the same group that did "She Fucks Me", y'know? Their music (especially on this album) has a strange oceanic aura or something.

Hotdamn. I sooo enjooooyed this stuff.

The C'Cruz album is 'bit puzzling, however: the cover sayeth "1996/ 1998, Exworks Rec.", yet the recordings definitely sound much, much older -- early to mid-60s, I'd venture.
(The AMG's gushing review, helpfully, doesn't mention anything as regards the dates of recording)
