limited-edition LP on golden lab records arrived finally!
so far, seems like library music + found recordings + OMG this song called "under the shadows" that is the most amazing GBV ripoff...

oh shit, side 2 track 1 is the lady who sang on earth junk maybe? eleanor something?

second side is mostly instrumental, but with some sweet NMH gtr.
overall, a solid B record, but definitely has some v interesting parts

eleanor whitmore!i'm so jazzed for this; sounds like it's kind of a kind of sketchier XI grab-bag, right?
― rap band (schlump), Monday, 23 November 2009 22:02 (sixteen years ago)
ummmmm not really? much sketchier than XI, and even the jammers arent in as consistent a direction as those on XI. i mean, i like both very much, but this one sounds a lot more lo-fi than any other howling hex ive ever heard. i would guess that doesnt represent a bowing to trend as much as it does a slightly tossed-off record.
HAVING SAID THAT (did anyone see curb yr enthus last night), it's very interesting and there's cool sounds/songs buried in here.

ah o k. stuff i'd read made it sound like a collection of what they had that hadn't fit into one of the previous records. like another spoken word thing maybe??
anyway as soon as i come across a copy i'll repor back

its mostly music, but a little spoken-word...

Just got an email saying I would be sent a promo of this Howling Hex release - "Victory Chimp" - an audio book

No matter who you were then, everyone's in luck because, almost 15 years after its original publication, Victory Chimp is back on the brain, retooled and upgraded. This isn't a midnight movie and the good don't die young. You'll never experience an audio book like this, but will you be able to ever read Tom Clancy again? These are questions better left to...VICTORY CHIMP.

I missed that one ... used search and couldn't decide which off-topic thread to bump
not usually my thing but I'm looking forward to listening to this on the subway
