Yes! The Skeleton Crew records are flarpin' awesome.
What a coincidence! The last link I posted on this thread is a Zeena project. I forgot to mention, mainly because I am an ape that didn't even make the connection. I post it again, it's really good. https://greendome.bandcamp.com/releases
I've also been under a Skeleton Crew spell the last two weeks. This is Henry Cow, Art Bears quality for me. [Will they bury us ? We will bury you. - where's that line coming from?]
That's Reagan talking about Krushchev saying, "We will bury you."
Playing Fred Frith - Allies right now. Add it to the list if you don't have it, folks.
They were hugely fun and sorta very tight and falling apart at the same time, what with doing the drums split between two people (neither of whom were drummers) while they were playing another instrument or instruments and singing!
IIRC, I once saw the sound sensation called THE STICK MEN open for them in Baltimore. It was massively awesome and adrenaline filled.

^ I got This Is the Master Brew from a post-punk/indie retailer in my ol' hometown some 17 years back - for five bucks! On yellow vinyl! Damn, that's one hell of a find. My then-wife loved them and left with that Stick Men CD of yours, Steve. In fact, I believe that's why she left.

It is indeed me! Thank you so much, I modelled my drum sound for this after something between Happy Accidents and the bonus track Stabbing At Air. And love their drumming styles, I feel I've always played along those lines a bit myself, so it felt natural for me! And luckily there is so much going on in those keyboard parts that I can build my bass parts straight from it! I'm beginning work on a 12 minute Steve Kretzmer piano piece that never saw the light of day, hoping to flesh it out nicely, but definitely going to be a mountain of work to write parts for 12 minutes of little to no repetition, very excited for the challenge
Nah, she's still at home watching the shit out of that CD-ROM footage on the release, man, utterly hypnotized. Seriously, she used to pump it in the car. She took that too when she left. That, and the dog darn Sigge Persson Swedish classic cutlery.
Anyway, I just checked my Master Brew Stic Men vinyl, and it's red - not yellow. It slays, that thing. I Wonder if Ron Anderson ever heard it; some of his stuff for PAK reminds a lot, although there's a bit more, uh, "prog" to it.
Also, I wonder if Jon Anderson ever heard Ron Anderson?

In an ancient Greek context, the phrase "We will bury you" would mean pay of respect. See Sophocles' Antigone for further information. It would mean "we will not leave you unburied, we are the civilized WEST for fuck's sake, we will respect you and bury you". Doubtful if this is what Reagan had in mind. In any case the line repeats itself in a most definite context in this SC track. It's impossible to miss. Which makes it a stroke of genius.
^ Well, you know - according to Norman Mailer, Reagan apparently (from Mailer's conversation with him at a White House dinner) wasn't quite aware of the connection between marxism and Karl Marx. So I'd suspect it somewhat futile to suggest his awareness of Sophocles' Antigone.

^ Yep. He had a real problem with antagonists. As any Real Merkin would.
^ but Sophocles was very well aware of Reagan, he had foreseen, foresuffered, forepuked him in the image of Creon. Will they bury us? No way man, we will bury them.

Ready for some “Bran Coucou” by PinioL ... la dosis!.
Pura Vida!.
There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. ∞

The most shocking thing was how Reagan could become President after having been the main character in William P. Blatty's The Exorcist. I believe he had the lead acting job as himself in the film as well, even developing a technique of rotating his skull all-way-round and spewing green muck on Jason Miller (in the role of Father Karras), who for that reason later uttered: "I'm never voting for that S.O.B.!" Max von Sydow wanted to vote for him, though, being a huge fan of pukeslime - but alas he was a Swede, he wasn't allowed.

Gave the Calle Debauche album a blast this morning. Some might consider it comfort-prog for panheads, but I like it and our two-year-old enjoyed dancing to it. Until Mummy made us turn it off
Circus prog.
