ohi ho bang bang were straight dope: crazy cut up cartoonish
caravan-sampling hooligan tunes.  i have the 12" for 'the three' (mute), but
could never find any more.  always wanted to get my hands on that video,
too.  was there ever anything beyond 'the two', 'the three', or 'the path'?
i always hoped for a full length or at least another 12" to hunt down.  

holger hiller's 'as is' (mute) is also cool in it's own strange way.  i
could never decide if i liked listening to him sing or not.

is it just my own questionable memory or did holger hiller and holger czukay
work on a project together?  if not, they should have, and not just cause
they're both named holger.

on now: locust 'in rembrance of times past' (apollo)  isn't there supposedly
a new locust out, too?
