        Nowhere. It isn't available anywhere for purchase. I can understand giving
'props' to the local boy, but it seems rather odd when the local boy has no
records. Why don't you wait until the Orange release comes out? The only thing
the rest of us (ie: the world outside the tiny geographical region where
lexanculpt resides and the vast majority of list members do not) can hear of
lexanculpt are tiny sound samples on his webpage.
        I won't mind talking about lexanculpt once I've actually heard his music, but
until then it's pointless. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually on this
list though. We've reached the peak of undergroundness: "My favorite artist is
sooo underground that he doesn't even have any records that you can get."
        What's next? Releasing records only in wax cylinder format? "Man, those flat
records are so mainstream." What, do you mean you don't have a player for wax
cylinder? There's just no excuse for that, you can pick one up in an antique
store for next to nothing.
