Well? Why?

I'm afraid I would. Afraid because it would necessitate me spending even more fucking money on records.

Probably, although I don't think there's a great deal of listening mileage in Pole.

The Thrill Jockey re-release of Mouse on Mars' Glam is not to be missed. It makes me think of that old joke... how do the Chinese name their children? They drop silverware on the floor. MOM drop silverware on the floor, too. It's how they make a gorgeous album.

Pole isn't as good.

Where's a good place to start for Mouse on Mars? I've only heard some tracks by 'em.

_Pole 3_ is awesome, though. You've got to hear it on a semi-decent setup -- one with plenty of bass.

My favorite MoM album is _Iaora Tahiti_, their second one -- judging by some other comments I've seen from you, Nick, I think you'd enjoy that one pretty well.

I don't like MoM. I like Plaid. Fix me please.

I love Plaid. You're not broken.

Search: Black Dog.

Almost all of MoM is good.

*great* albums are:

iaora tahiti
niun niggung
idiology

whimsical, interesting, not stuck up their own arse.

I'm keen to the Black Dog, I've Spanners and Bytes and Music for Adverts. Just that I've got Niun Niggung, have listened to a few from Idiology, and don't get what the fuss is about but would like to because MoM have are often uttered in the same breath as Plaid when it comes to fun IDM.

Plaid's Undoneson single is at the record store for $3, should I buy it?

Leee, do you not like Niun Niggung ?

I don't think of MoM as IDM, probably cause I kind of hate the whole IDM scene of AFX/Plaid/Autechre wannabes.

I think MoM manage to bring a certain warmth, humanity and frivolity to electronic music and yet manage to do it using sounds that are interesting in and of themselves.

If you have to pick one album, I'd prob make it Iaora Tahiti.

(although the others I haven't mentioned are also good... Vulvaland is a bit dated nowadays, but Autoditacker has an excellent drumnbass kind of influence to it...)

seven months pass...

MoM and Plaid are now liek my two favourite acts. It sucks. It's cost me loads of money.

give it six months.

You're a cheerful chap, Jess. I've emailed you an Xmas greeting!
