Ah The Cramps. I only got into them half way through 2003 and they're great!!! Dunno about where you live, but I've seen in stores here the first(?) three, Songs the Lord..., Psychadelic Jungle, and Off The Bone alltogether for $30 (AUS). Highly recommended. Only heard bits of Date With Elvis, which has them with a bass player instead of two guitars. Still gold though. Oh, and if you're gonna get Fiends of Dope Island, you have to get the vinyl. Just look at that cover: http://www.multimafia.no/revolusjonkel/galleri_illustration.php?id=82 Also, slightly off topic and it may have already been mentioned, but for those living in Australias favourite punch line, Adelaide, Merzbow is playing here in the basement of Big Star records on Feb 9th. Surely a once in a lifetime thing for us :) Also check out the Improvisations festival in the Fringe guide, one of What Is Music?'s organisers Oren Ambarchi (hey, he has a record on Tzadik so this is related) is coming over, along with Annette Krebs and a few others. The Fringe guide is wrong by the way, Fennesz will not be coming :( Later, Cameron. _________________________________________________________________ ninemsn Premium transforms your e-mail with colours, photos and animated text.
