I dig that! Very unique audio creativity y'all. And John, I should also try to learn the gamelan, heard you talking about that a few months ago. I think I have a bootleg (yes, bad me, but it was offered and I didn't know where else to get it) of the song you played that an old roommate who had lived in Athens (Normaltown, actually) was rumored to have snagged from Stipe. Gamelan is a haunting sound, I agree. So is yours, Micachu!
I didn´t realise at first, but Wow... it´s alive!!!
Daniel from Brazil.
One of the best bands you've had on the show...
That was good!! I did like it.
Jeez! WTF????? Feels long to listen too also!!
Dunno. Sounds kinda fun. Love the singing over the backbeat...
Wow, what a great way to go out by offending us with this cacophony of dreck.
What is the definition of Pop the days?
