Wish list

Happy Supply sounds like a lot of fun; I found them in a review of "24 Hour Party People" in the SF Weekly. I'll get their LP when it comes out. (By which I mean their full-length CD.) In other music news, recommendations by the Aquarius Records staff -- Windy: Circle's "Sunrise" and Cup: OP8's "Slush" -- kept me happy while driving around L.A. in my rented car.

I also listened to "Circulatory System", an album by Olivia Tremor Control members that I continue to find fascinating, if wearing. Imagine if John, George and Ringo had continued the Beatles without Paul until 1974 or so, and delved more and more into the woozy, acid-tinged music like "Blue Jay Way," "Dear Prudence," and "Tomorrow Never Knows." Take a whole album full of such experiments and you have "Circulatory System." Though it's long and a little repetitive, it definitely puts you in that acid space.
