haha.  i live in nz and those records would have to be the crappiest on the
planet.  i respect the dude who makes them so much, but they're made on a
decades old machine in a garage in the middle of nowhere (geraldine, south
island, nz)... and have something like a 1 in 8 complete failure rate, while
the others need to be played 10 times before the needle drills enough depth
to stop itself from skipping.

i'm interested what the record was you saw>>>>  i know he's done stuff for
the beastie boys (getting in a load of locals to work 24hrs a day for a week
to keep his machine going....) and lee renaldo.

my first post here and i'm getting off the subject... bola - soup on skam
records, bought it today... i feel it's the sequel to those listening
pleasures you've been getting from boards of canada for the last few weeks
and are now looking for something else.
