Art for Spastics v. 158


We are now streaming/archiving at 192 kbps for your optimum enjoyment!

Now for the bad...Just as I was playing The Wrists' cover of a Beex classic, I got a call from listener Doug in San Diego who told me that Christine Gibson, Beex singer and one of the most unique female vocalists of an era, had died just a night ago after battling breast cancer. Crazy coincidence, and such sad news.

BEST OF 2007


It really sucks if you release a record too late into December, or in the case of the Sic Alps, it sucks if your record was way too limited for me to get my mitts on. It turns out that for the blink of an eye during which their Description of the Harbor was available, I was at home with the flu and not checking the internet. So, while I fully expect that it's another outstanding record by them, that one misses my "best of 2007" list.

Top 20 LP's of 2007

Factums "Alien Native" (Siltbreeze)
Home Blitz "self-titled" (Gulcher)
Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones "Arriere Garde" (S-S)
