Another wide-ranging chart, honoring fallen heroes Lux Interior and Yma Sumac, juxtaposing hip-hop remixes of Bollywood with a raga from the great Ali Akbar Khan, and setting our controls for the heart of the sun with two contrasting explorations of the cosmos from Spacemen 3 and D.J. Shadow.
The Love Dogs continue to thrive with their Albert Ayler tribute, and the Interstellar Grains and A.J. In Evolution grace us with more instrumental goodness, as does Kaki King with another tangled virtuoso guitar piece. The Vivian Girls teach a new generation how to say "NO!", the Incredible String Band and Irma Thomas curl up and get romantic, and our own label is represented by one each from the Blame and the Experimental Bunnies.

Spacemen 3 and The Cramps, can't get much better than that. I have some problems with The Vivian Girls.
Yeah, but what could be better than a song whose entire lyrics are "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO", etc?
A better song whose whole lyrics is "Jesus Fuck", that's better than "NO NO NO NO"
Ah, but that already existed.
I think I like The Vivian Girls now, not sure yet though...
At first they sound like a dozen other bands, but they have a way of growing on you.
I like the band they play a lot with called "Crystal Stilts" a lot lot lot more, they are awesome.
Haven't heard them. Must investigate.
They sound like a psychedelic Joy Division
Sounds like Vomit Launch! (Ask your Mom.)
OK, I listened.
Yeah, they've got that early Factory sound. Kind of like really early (pre-funky) A Certain Ratio meets the 13th Floor Elevators with gobs of reverb. Pretty good.
They are very iffy live, I've seen them 3 times (each time The MLS was support), first time they were not very good, second time they were better but the last time, they were amazing.
