A brief announcement:

The packages for tenebrouskate, a_lad_inane, and revme have been taped securely to buzzard butts, and they are on their way to the proper destinations.

Yeah -- I really dug the debut record. Only downside is the bonus tracks are all from a Early Bootleg, which has realy utterly lousy sound quality. But I can see why they put it on, since apparently it was one of those kinds of boots where hardcore fans would spend like, 50 bucks on it. So, they just put it out with the debut to make it readily available so both they could maybe actually make money on their own music and also to get it so fans wouldn't have to drop 50 bucks on something not-very-good anymore. So, you might want to just get "The Plan" at the same time (Which is basically the demo that they recorded to get signed. It's sorta like the debut record, minus much of the synths. It's not really essential, but it's got some really cool stuff, and the pre-album 45s compiled on, like the studio version of "Bombers".)

But yeah -- Disconnection has two things going for it: a) It's pretty cheap for being 3 discs and b) The last disc is a live show from 1986, which actually isn't too bad. Although it's a little redundant if you've got the "Gary Numan" DVD, since I think that's from 1985, and the sets aren't _too_ different. (And the DVD also has the weird sort of, like, Billy Idol look on Numan. He comes out in a leather jacket with "NU MAN" on the back in rhinestones.)

Some Numan is better than no Numan. I'm afraid a_lad_inane and fengriffen would have sent me the entire '84-'92 Numan catalog by then. :D I was just teasing, but yeah, it's not that bad.

A followup, because I know you were on the Edge Of Your Seat with this saga:

Today, since I couldn't find Penn & Teller's Bullshit Season 2 in stores, I ordered it from Barnes & Noble, and also got I, Assassin, Telekon and Dance (this one because it had "Stormtrooper In Drag" on it, and a long, long time ago I had an mp3 that was Jo The Waiter segued into SID (or maybe the other way around), and I really liked that one. I don't know what it was from, especially since I don't have the Mp3 anymore, heh, but I remembered really, really digging it, so... yeah).

I also got the new Batman: The Animated Series set, but that has nothing to do with Numan. Unless, I suppose, he likes Batman. Which I wouldn't be surprised because Batman's awesome.

Super!

I spent many a weekday afternoon watching it. It's a large step up compared to some of the Cartoon Network rehashed stuff. I didn't mind when the newer Batman series was half Superman and half Batman episodes. Batman rocks Superman's socks...er...tights.

Telekon's pretty good - maybe I came a bit too hard on it in my last review. :D But yeah, I listen to I, Assassin more often.
