here's a contribution to the list - a top twelve spins of the last month - no order:
~Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician / Hairway To Steven (
www.buttholesurfers.com)
~Sun Ra - Interstellar Low Ways
~Low - Secret Name (
www.chairkickers.com)
~Molasses - Trilogie (
www.alien8.com)
~ T Rex - The Slider (ya jus' gotta know Bowie stole all his gold from Marc Bolan)
~Swearing At Motorists - Number Seven Uptown (

~The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo
~Dirty Three - S/T (
www.touchandgo.cm)
~Les Savy Fav - s/t

bonus 5:
~The Cure - 3 Imaginary Boys rerelease (deluxe edition w/ extra trax/demos) (wwwthecure.com) - nice collection!!
~Melvins - Gluey Porch Treatments / Ozma (
www.melvins.com) - so syrup heavy I ctry when I hear it.
~Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid - anything
~Mule - s/t (1/4 Stick)
~Black Mountaintops (formerly Jerk With a Bomb) - Black Mountaintops (
www.scratchrecords.com)
and another one because I said so - I guess that makes 17. hmm:
~The Flaming Lips - In a Priest Driven Ambulance / Transmissions From The Satellite Heart (
www.theflaminglips.com)
all are very disparate sounding bands - but I have a feeling people on this here board would, uh, "dig 'em, man"
Post Script: if Cream does a reunion tour to North Amerika, I would 100% go and see it - I love The Cream - Jack Bruce (sorely underrated and consumate songwriter of that group) and Ginger Baker - not to mention Eric Clapton's best work - save for one song on the Blind Faith rekkid and some stuff w/ the Yardbirds - then he went all "adult contempo" on us all.
Obscure additions:
Engine Kid - awesome group - C/Z records, 1991
Atomic 61 - Heatworm - Box Dog Records 1991
