Indiana Ed and the Temple Of ZZzzzzzZzZZZzzzzzz...
I went digging through the box that I keep my "second string" CDs in - my current CD racks top out at holding 750 or something, so until I get another 500-capacity rack, I have to keep some in a box off to the side. I hadn't really looked at any of these CDs since I moved in to my apartment a year and a half ago. Here are some of the gems I extracted:
Einstürzende Neubauten - Die Hamletmaschine
The Walkabouts - Dead Man Rise (I bought this solely to hear the original version of "Hangman", which Silkworm covered)
Michael Manring - Thonk (The biggest bass-player dork record I own)
Tom Tom Club - s/t (Hey, this sounds an awful lot like that one Mariah Carey song...)
Mr. Bungle - s/t
Lush - Lushlife (I never particularly liked this record, but dammit if "Ladykillers" wasn't the catchiest song of 1996)
AmRep - Peel Sessions (It's got Helmet, Surgery, Tar, and best of all, The Cows doing really fucked up versions of "You Are So Beautiful" and "How Dry I Am".)
The Wipers - The Best of Wipers and Greg Sage
The Crow soundtrack
Living Colour - Biscuits EP
Cardinal - s/t (this is so twee it makes me want to vomit.)
fIREHOSE - Live Totem Pole EP (they cover Public Enemy, the Butthole Surfers, Blüë Öÿstër Cült, Superchunk, and Wire)
There's a couple hundred more CD in that box that I won't bother to mention - chances are, ya wouldn't have heard of 'em anyway :)
