--- Quote from: a pack of wolves ---Yup, they're named after it. They sound nothing like The Residents though, I don't think most of them have even heard them but their guitarist is a huge fan.

Actually, what would you recommend as a good starting point with The Residents? I never know what to get with these bands who have massive back catalogues. I'm perfectly comfortable with the bizarre so it doesn't have to be the most accessible stuff, I just wonder what are the career highlights.

Their newest album, Animal Lover is a pretty good place to start, although if you can find them, Meet The Residents, The Third Reich N' Roll, Duck Stab, Eskimo, or Not Available are all wonderful and you should pick them up on the spot.

Thanks! I'll get looking.

Garbage, State Theater, Detroit, April 27th.  It doesn't look like I'm going to see anything this month, which is reprehensible.  Oh, well on June 4th I'm hitting up Umphrey's McGee at Bell's in Kzoo, that should be fun.

Oh fuck yes!

I just got back from seeing Queen Adreena supported by Ariel-X and Solitude.

Solitude were fucking bitching: Industrial Death Metal, very Strapping Young Lad. Brill vocals. Ariel-X weren't too bad either, but I listened to them from the bar.

Queen Adreena are a prime example of a band not designed to be experienced in any other way than live. Amazing! Such antics that Ms. Garside got up to: at one point she was wearing a chair as a hat and skulking behind the guitarist. Then she got on the chair, and was swigging wine and spitting it at the audience as she screamed and cooed her way through a fantastic live set. I need more stuff by them. And indeed, I have more stuff, in the form of limited edition coloured vinyl ^_^

so i review a cd for ktru rice radio. caribou's the milk of human kindness. i knew they were coming play mary jane's. may 12, 2005 with junior boys and the russian futurists. i want to get the review in so we can get them on the air and introduce some people to them before they play here. review less favorable than internet reviews. with notes on boring parts. then i get listserve email trying to find someone to interview them on air. not me. but tonia does.

so i get on the guestlist and go to mary jane's. get in and see tonia. during futurists and beginnings of juniorboys set. juniorboys start "more than real" and i get introduced to a guy. "devin, this is dan snaith. dan this is devin, he's the guy that reviewed your cd." in less words than that. or at least less words that i can hear over bass. i miss the whole second sentence and most of the first. so i have no idea who this guy is, i'm not hip on knowing what the guys i listen to look like and i didn't hear the name part of the introduction. until he starts talking. "you used the word boring." amongst other words i don't hear. so i realize who this is. but only late enough to where i can't save myself about my mostly favorable review. he had apparently seen the review on his cd when in the station.

so i met dan snaith. and i called the first half of the album he wrote boring.
written by dan snaith except 'subotnick' snaith/keyes/robinson.
produced by dan snaith.
