Quo Vadimus

Tuesday, August 19, 2003   So I bought that new GBV record, raced into a dark alley, eluded a gaggle of kids and the media, tore off the wrapping, and looked around for good 'ol Mr. Slugworth, but, alas, there was no golden ticket. [UPDATE: After two four spins, I'm giving this an 8.1 8.5 on the Forkmeter. My faves, so far, are "Useless Inventions", "Secret Star", "She Goes Off At Night", "Beat Your Wings", and the fantastic, previously-Flux'd "Best of Jill Hives." Further listens should unearth more of the "subdued melodicism" (e.g., tracks like "Dirty Water"). Unearthing successful, more to come.] [UPDATE 2: The Fork agrees.] posted by Linus | 3:23 PM		blog-o-rama Recidivism. Leoville. Clap Clap. Antidisingenuous. Me again. film Avary. Baaab. Boo Seh Mee.
