| Monday Jan 24, 2005 | When the layman thinks of electric guitars, he usually remembers the Fender Stratocaster or perhaps the Gibson Les Paul. Why doesn't anyone recall the Solo II, or this Soviet double-neck bass/electric, or this hot-rodded Ural electric, or the Czech Jolana Diamant electric bass, or whatever the hell this handmade thingmabob is? Well, usually because they were hideous pieces of crap that went out of tune quickly, sounded awful, and fell apart under light use. Some, however, were keepers, like the Czech Futurama. Largely, they were just plain cheap and cheesy guitars , which naturally makes them appealing to collectors, like Lord Bizarre.

"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" bears a track entitled "Poor Places", which contains one
minute and thirty seconds of sound from "Phonetic Alphabet Nato" lifted directly
from disc one of the quadruple CD "The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave
Numbers Stations". The Conet Project track features a female voice repeating
over and over the phrase, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", which Wilco took for the title
of their critically acclaimed CD.

| Thursday Apr 25, 2002 | Richard D. James (a.k.a. afx, aphex, aphex twin) doesn't just make frenetic music and videos. He also sneaks images into the spectrograms of his tracks. If you're knowledgeable about fourier series transformations it's probably straightforward, though it certainly makes backmasking seem childish by comparison. Think it's a hoax? Download a spectrogram tool and take a look at the title track (#2) on Windowlicker.

| Tuesday Apr 23, 2002 | Matthew Herbert, Herbert, Radio Boy, Doctor Rockit, Wishmountain, The Music Man, whatever you may call him, he's a electronic musician with a very clear vision. And a new album, under his Radio Boy moniker, available for download on the net, with a loud political message and Henry Kissinger, a Big Mac meal and cans of brake fluid as sound sources. to Music by wheezer |

| Wednesday Mar 20, 2002 | Jandek,
an enigmatic, reclusive
"outsider"
musician,
has been described as "just like the Beatles... if you strip away melody,
catchy hooks, rhythm, and harmony,
vocal and instrumental ability,
and any trace of human feeling other than dull, lingering pain."
Clearly, opinion is divided on whether he's
a genius or just
a freak

loved, loathed,

| Wow! I can't believe it! A select few of my favorite musicians have good websites! Amon Tobin is among the few and proud. Most notably is Warp Records, created by The Designer's Republic. An entire record label of web goodness.

lyrics
as You are a spy and you are a traitor / Life is the price to pay for whoever makes mistakes like you. Available online. to Music by voidptr |
