Yeah, I'm pretty sure I forgot to mention that Mouse On Mars song on the air. A shame, because it is such a great song and a great group. MOM rules.

I was going to play Caribou instead of Black Dice, cause I found some excellent Caribou track, but the CD was not in the studio. I think someone was borrowing it, it's usually there. Perhaps next week?

Interesting note: in the studio, we have two copies of the Matmos record The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth Of A Beast. One in the 'indie' section, the other in the 'rpm/ige' section. I think it belongs in the latter section, though if we were to have any Matmos album x2, it should be The Civil War. I think it's my favorite Matmos album, but it's a tough choice since Matmos is the bomb like no other.

More death metal??!!?!?! Very odd for me. Death metal is probably one of the most difficult genres for me to get into since all the growling/grunting is very goofy and hard to take seriously for some reason. Screaming, no problem, I'm from the punk rock line of things and we like screaming and barking and yelling. But those grunts in the DM? Yuck. But I'm coming around to it, especially because there is so much good in death metal -- solos, solos, um, guitar tones? Tech stuff, yeah, I guess. Pretty much all the guitar fun. If I wanted sweet drumming, I'd listen to tech metal, i.e. Meshuggah. Meshuggah is the bomb. Will play Mes. next week. I'm thinking of doing another metal hour because there is so much good metal out there, new or otherwise. I have access to so much excellent metal and am always looking for new metallic goodness.

I am so tired right now. Why am I still awake? I need to sleep, but I just keep typing. So much to do 'tomorrow' and need sleep, sleep is good, 4am....
