My hangover is so contrite...

THE SPIRIT OF EDEN and/or LAUGHING STOCK by Talk talk

ON FIRE by Galaxie 500

DAMON & NAOMI WITH GHOST by...er...Damon & Naomi (ex of Galaxie 500) with enigmatic Japaense psychedelia band, Ghost. Really great, quiet, contemplative, come-down sorta stuff.

A fry up, a pint of orange juice, "Raw Power" at max volume and down the pub for opening time. Just do it.

Or try Killing Joke. Honour the Hangover.

Dr. C, I think I love you!

Too bad I have to do this for the next two days straight, and a gig on Sunday to boot... aaarrrggghhhh...

Fair enough, then,...wanna play hardball? Cran up the NIGHTTIME album by Killing Joke and eat lots of starchy foods, like fish & chips to soak up the alcohol left in your system.

Honor the Deep Fryer!

Pardon. That should be CRANK, not Cran, which is meaningless in the context of adjusting the volume on your stereo. I'm at the tail end of a twelve-hour overnight shift, so I'm a bit punchdrunk.

For what its worth, FUNHOUSE is a better album than RAW POWER.

why is FUNHOUSE better? perhaps it's more faithful to the stooges' true spirit, what with the lack of song structure, horrible recording, and absolute rawness, but does that make it better to listen to?

You're joking, Jake, aren't you? I'm not saying RAW POWER is a crap album, but it's intial production (by Bowie) rendered it so tinny and comapritively lifeless compared to the cohesive "oomph" of FUNHOUSE. Production and engineering aside, however, FUNHOUSE simply has better songs. I can think of precious few albums that can measure up to the one-two-three punch of "Down On the Street," "Loose" and "TV Eye" right out of the box. The songs are better, the production's better, the performance is better (with Dave Alexander on bass and Ron on guitar, as opposed to James Williamson circa RAW POWER). Once again, I'm not knocking RAW POWER ("Search & Destroy" alone makes that album a classic), but in terms of listening to an album straight thrhough, FUNHOUSE has more to offer from start to finish.

Do we really need smut like this? I feel quite unwell..
