he funny asl

just get the Greatest Of CD

crazy music by a crazy man. per npr:
"With Fela's danceable, almost trance-like grooves and political lyrics, he started a youth movement that rebelled against the repressive postcolonial government and military. For that, he was jailed about 100 times. ... The military breached the electric fence that protected his compound, threw his mother out a second-story window and burned his home to the ground. He's also a problematic figure. ...

He had 27 female backup singers and dancers and married all of them in one day. He didn't believe AIDS was real, advised men not to use condoms and even wrote a song about it. And when he contracted AIDS, he denied that was possible."

peter gabriel with a sprinkle of david bowie that somehow doesnt really work

it's jangle pop from '87.

fun. great every other song, meh every other song. 3.5

just a collection of oasis side Bs

their best work. no fluff, just 40 minutes of a band crashing down a flight of stairs. 4.5

miles davis before he was miles davis i guess.

never heard of Numan, and never heard Cars. neat songs. veers samey all too much.

weirdly reminds me of morrissey. at times pretty, and at times bland. 2.5

didnt think much of this when it initially released, but it really is a culmination of his life's work. on a side note, his most radioheadesque album

pretty, but nondescript folk rock for me. not quite getting the hype

kitsch

cows have awful taste

banging post punk record

oh no beck is sad! anyway

my review from Everything Must Go still stands. it sounds pretty good, until i get reminded of coldplay. 3.5

how much ambien do you have to take to dance to this for an hour?

great. i think i prefer bowie's later stuff these days though.
