Yeah I completely disagree with performance. I'm all about well recorded albums. I couldn't give a shit if it can be performed live, they don't call it "recording arts" for no reason, recording/ mixing/ engineering is an art! Look at My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" - an album that is highly regarded and cost so much to engineer that it put a well known record label out of business. It took them 20 years or so to be able to perform that album live.

My Bloody Valentine, Brian Eno, and a little Broken Social Scene make the best bicycle commute playlist ever. Seriously, try it.

(this is a really really tight sort of Acid Jazz arrangement album of 10 songs from Chrono Trigger, and I love it muchly)

Well...this is the reason I don't really listen to my music on shuffle. The volume of Japanese rock and indie rock on there makes it so that the odds of busting out any of the other Western music I love is a little low, but the awesomeness of it starting with my favorite band on random was pretty neat. I was pleasantly surprised that The Jam managed to pop up, since due to space issues I currently only have that one album in here right now.

Awesome fun!

Seriously? Jimi has no soul? are you retarded?

I think Bill Hicks said it best
