• Rocknerd: Quite possibly the most horrible record of 2011; A requiem for the Luminaire.

Lots of Rocknerd lately. If anyone else feels inspired to write anything, do feel free.

King Crimson's Three Of A Perfect Pair is an unbelievably worthless slab of '80s prog noodling that just happened to have a pretty good hit single in "Sleepless" and otherwise made me want to punch them lots and lots. Good thing I had Perverted By Language to cleanse my brain with afterwards. Musicians: never trust 'em.

(Working with headphones: great stuff!)

For more J. G. Ballard than you can handle: ballardian.com and jgballard.ca. The mailing list is superlative also. It's JGB's world, we just live in it.
