October 4, 200718 yr So I'm buying some stuff on amazon and this little gem catches my attention: Because hey, isn't that my main man, my favorite post-punker, the living representation of everything that makes music GOOD, mr Mark E. Smith of The Fall? And who are those other two cats with him? According to the blurb: "This is the debut by a trio formed by Mark E. Smith of The Fall along with Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner of Mouse On Mars. It combines the genre-smashing attack of early millennia club music with Smith's free-associating visionary wordplay. The riffs and rhythms come together from many different places, with synths, samplers, and sequencers all firing off. It's not a band, it's a free-flowing collectivist dance generator - a futurist sound system." Mouse on Mars, coolness. Is it possible for this album not to completely redefine pop music as we know it? Says one reviewer: "Like being shouted at by an old man for an hour in a pub staffed entirely by robots. In a good way." (4/5 stars) I should have it by Friday. I'm excited.
October 15, 200718 yr I'm a big fan of Mouse On Mars (surprisingly good live act) and a mediocre fan of Mark E. Smith/The Fall, so I will be getting this...eventually.

October 16, 200718 yr I'm not saying I don't like them, I just never got that much by them. I'd probably like them a lot, from what I've heard. I'm the one that's mediocre (as a fan), not them.
