For lack of something better, here is a weekly (or bi-weekly) list of musical, and some non-musical things, that have taken up space in my brain. In order from best to not-as-awesome-as-the-best-but-still awesome:
1. Padded Cell 'Night Must Fall' (new CD on DC Recordings)
2. Awesome weather (it's almost like we had a real spring--what?)
3. The Mole 'Ain't the Way It's Supposed To Be' (3rd track from his new full length on Wagon Repair--perfectly restrained yet funky, the stand-out track on a great album)
4. Redshape 'Robot/Neon' single (new on Music Man--no luck finding the 12" Stateside, but good old beatport.com is now carrying it...about 2 months AFTER it's release*ahem*)
5. Elitechnique 'Mirror Men' EP (April 2008 on Clone--more than just aping Moroder & friends, they write and play beautifully--unique within the current Italo tribute genre)
6. Ferrero Kinder Happy Hippo cacao/hazelnut (wafer cookies from Deutschland...hazelnut and chocolate cream-filled delicate scupltures)
7. Turntable Lab NYC location finally getting the Siriusmo "All the Girls" 12" in stock (on Exploited, earlier this year--candy red vinyl!!!!)
8. Nomo 'New Tones' (LP on Ubiquity, 2006--the "new jazz" label scared me, but this is fantastic...everyone should check...Fedor, I'm looking in you direction!)
That is all...what, you thought there'd be ten? This ain't that kind of list.

I just listened to some of that NOMO album. It's like Tron went and fucked the Capsoul label, and they had a beautiful child.
Since this list does not go to ten I can't be bothered to read it.

...they did! His name is Thurmond "Sugarboard" Bigsby. He mastered the entire woodwind family by age 9 and regularly schools the local Columbus youth on the deadly art of Lightcycling.
