actually one of the first things I noticed when I joined this list is
that eat static, and most planet dog artists, are *never* discussed.
there are probably several reasons for this.  everyone probably
already knows about them and there isn't much to talk about.  don't
get me wrong, eat static made some great cuts and all, but often
leaves much to be desired.  I hear their live performance is great
though.

the label is planet dog, the album is probably their latest, I can't
remember what it is called though.  i didn't find it very interesting.

other planet dog artists are timeshard (recommended), banco de gaia
(some stuff is good, but the latest "big men cry" is atrocious) and
children of the bong (who are also pretty good).  I haven't seen much
from them lately other than eat static's and banco's full lengths.

they have a compilation called "transmissions from planet dog" which
has some classic stuff on it and worth the $11 or whatever it costs (2
cds).

oh yeah -- eat static is two members of ozric tentacles I believe.
