<< Whether this is a knowing nudge at the Verve's horrendously repetitive and irritating song "Bittersweet Symphony" with its single loop taken from quite possibly the same Rolling Stones song or not, it's very amusing. >> slag me if you wish...I like this song an awful lot... saw Tortoise last night for the second time...much tighter than when I saw them last year, but I didn't like the song selection nearly as much as the last tour...no Djed, no Vaus, no The Equator, etc...most of the songs they played from TNT came off much better in a live context than they did on the album...bought the new single...only got a chance to listen once...the beats are pretty beat boxish and the b-side is a remix of the a-side...I'll give a full review once it sinks in...and I get to see them perform again tomorrow night... as for oval...it just doesn't translate live...I even consider myself an oval fan, but I found myself getting anxious...the visuals repeated at least 10x so they were no help either... also just got the new metic on schematic and push button objects and funkstorung on chocolate industries...my first full reviews of these are pending...kicking myself for not discovering these labels sooner...if anyone has older releases on schematic and cocolate industries to sell me, please get in touch has there been any confirmation either way to the Kraftwerk/Autechre/LFO show in NYC? nine eight, steve next week - Trans Am (live); u-Ziq / Bjork (live) !!!
