that Chuck Ragan album that Catacombs posted up there is awesome (so awesome that when i ordered it, it came with two of the CD in the case! my brother was well chuffed with that!).
i'm watching a dvd atm (which means i can't convert to mp3/rar-up a file because my laptop has such shite RAM that the dvd will endlessly skip if i do), but when it's finished, i'll upload the Rumbleseat album - Chuck Ragan, plus Chris Wollard (his bandmate from hot water music), and a girl whose name escapes me, playing sorta acoustic folk/country stuff, and includes the original version of California Burritos.

Wow... this one is from deep in my private stash of things that are just too good for the uninitiated to appreciate. Surprised to see it posted. You must check this one out.
a related uber-album on the way...
--- Quote ---Miles Davis - On The Corner
Could there be any more confrontational sound in Miles Davis' vast catalog than the distorted guitars and tinny double-timing drums reacting to a two-note bass riff funking it up on the first track from On the Corner? Here are killer groove riffs that barely hold on as bleating trumpet and soprano sax lines interact with distortion-box frenzy. Michael Henderson's bass keeps the basic so basic it hypnotizes; keyboards slowly enter the picture, Finally, Colin Walcott jumps in with an electric sitar and there are no less than five drummers. Davis and band move the music way over to the funk side of the street -- though the street funkers thought these cats were too weird with their stranded time signatures and modal fugues that begin and end nowhere and live for the way the riff breaks down into emptiness. "One and One" begins the new tale, so jazz breaks down and gets polished off and resurrected as a far blacker, deeper-than-blue character in the form of "Helen Butte/Mr. Freedom X," where guitars and horns careen off Henderson's cracking bass and Foster's skittering hi-hats. It may sound weird even today, but On the Corner is the most street record ever recorded by a jazz musician.

That's clearly what I meant to say. Thanks for the translation.
