New crush
So I kind of didn't go to work today (I will make it up next week) and went to Kitchener instead; which was a lot of fun for a bunch of reasons, but I happened to wander into Encore Records (their site is nothing like the store), which is easily the best record store not in New York City I've ever been to. And it's been there the entire time I've been in Guelph. and I've never visited.
How good? They have Coil (though no Ape Of Naples - they were out). They had something like 15 records by Muslimgauze, fer chrissakes. They had Sleep's Dopesmoker for $18, which I promptly bought.
If this store was a person, I'd be following it around and trying to hit on it in really clumsy fashion. When my tax return comes in I'm going to figure out exactly how much I can afford to spend, and we're hitting Encore. It will be glorious.

If you were a record store, kate, this post would TOTALLY be about you. But I'm glad you're not a store. I mean - you'd still be in Texas, and I've never been there.

They called me yesterday to tell me they'd got in Ape Of Naples. I'm ridiculously excited.
(also, you realise now I'm trying to think of a post about you, eh?)

Is this the point where I admit I've never been able to "get" Jandek and you beat me about the head and shoulders with a handbag or something?
That cover isn't bad, though.

shit, I didn't ever "get" jandek either. I can't get past the recording quality, personally. But i'll track him down in this city some day. And these compilations make listening to his songs so much easier and enjoyable.

It's a metaphor for the difficulties of communication in our harsh, technologized modern world!

Urgent & Key. On target and deserving of wider exposure.
As in, "that article about Work Wives you posted was pretty U&K, kate".

I don't think that article was really.... *that* urgent, or key though. Bad example. Make up another!

You're right, it wasn't. Substitute the Mary Gaitskill piece, or even this.
Heck, I think I'm pretty U&K myself.
