If my bath plughole is anything to go by, maybe if I go to Australia my LP will spin backwards...

RanaldoNecro · 05.27.2008, 09:35 PM

Burning Spear does sound good.

It's...interesting.

I'll give you that.

see, I think backwards music always sounds good except for drums... I really hate the sound of, like, a snare drum backwards... but everything else sounds awesome.

Yeah, backwards music sound good most of the time. Avey Tare & Kria Brekkan album was really good imo

ditto, except for the short drums section that is run backwards at the very end of the diamond sea

That Avey Tare album is AWESOME. Probably the only good thing to come out of the Animal Collective/Panda Bear/whatever camp since Sung Tongs.

That's a thought, but I'm too busy wondering what the world would be like without idiots. You probably wonder sometimes too.
