Ah man...House of Freaks got no respect in their day. Cakewalk is such a great, understated album with big huge hooks and a strident melancholy twang (kept feisty by Johnny Hott's hyperkinetic odds'n'ends percussion...I tell ya, the man coulda been in Cop Shoot Cop) that is still breaks my heart a decade a change later. They sorta got stuck in the limbo between "college rock' and the alt.country boom that puts dubious folks like Ryan Adams on a fuckin' pedastal. I love that album, goddammit.

I would best describe them as the middle ground between Joy Division and Naked Raygun...The live album (Live at the Entry/Dead at the Exit) is prob. the one I see around the most...apparently their local label - Ruthless Records (not that Ruthless!) was the local label that put their stuff out....Well worth checking out if you like 80s midwest post-punk...
I've heard good things about their two studio albums...you could try record stores in Minneapolis, there tends to be alot more of their stuff around here used for cheap...try these two they might be able to help you track it down:

2. John B - Blandwagon PoosWhat's 'e goin on abaat you muppet?! Banging D'n'B pisstake.
3. Bjork - BacheloretteRecently bought Homogenic and feel as though she was trying to rip off Aphex a bit too much. Still this song is very powerful.
4. Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get EnoughThis has been plaguing me for weeks.
5. Richard Cheese - Insane In The BrainLounge cover of the Cypress Hill classic - swear words intact!
6. Lee Perry & Max Romeo - Disco DevilThanks whoever recommended this on the dub thread the other day (nate?). The version I downloaded sounds awfully mid-ranged to me compared to "Croaking Lizard" and "Chase the Devil"- is this normal?
7. Snuff - Take Me Home (Piss Off)I hate punk music in general - especially 90s punk music but lately I've had a real craving for horrible ska tunes. Snuff is probably one of the more respectable one of the lot mind, which leads me on to..
8. The Pogues - Sally MaclenanneI like the Pogues but equally they piss me off. This is my favourite one by them though.
9. Katatonia - Sweet NurseRediscovered Katatonia and I'm really enjoying them.
10. Pavement - Strings Of Nashville
11. Ural 13 Diktators - Techno Is DeadIn 2001 I wrote a track called Clean Me. I had definitely never heard anything by U13D but the resemblance to this track is frighteningly uncanny even down to the choice of samples.

2. Fleetwood Mac - "That's All for Everyone"Gorgeous dream-pop, sounding a little bit like the Beach Boys' "Til I Die".
3. Tom Ze - "Ma"Discordant bossa-styled track from mid-70s Ze. Awesome horns.
4. Felix da Housecat - "Nina"Nostalgic pop from Devin Dazzle. Very simple and pretty.
5. Joyce - "Feminina"Brazilan singer-songwriter has done two versions of this. This one is from the 90s (original 1980), and is sparser. Acoustic guitar, percussion and lots of her vocals.
6. Tavinho Moura - "Cade O Boi"More Brazilian stuff. Kind of folky, 6/8, with a cool harmonium-like instrument that makes it seem like a tropical carnival hymn.
7. Franco Leprino - "Integrati...Disintegrati"Italian electronic/folk/krautrock-esque composer from 70s. This is like gorgeous sex-on-the-beach ambient folk.
8. Led Zeppelin - "Carouselambra"10-minute prog-styled tune from In Through the Out Door. A lot of fans think this song is lame, but I love it (especially all the keyboards).
9. Free Design - "Bubbles"If James Bond needs to go grocery shopping, he's got this in the discman.
10. L. Voag - "Bedroom"Short, celestial track from his 1979 record The Way Out. Kind of reminds me of Animal Collective, in its childlike fancy. Dreamy.
11. Faust/Dalek - "T-Electronique"Last track on their collab album, and the one most like a normal hip hop song. Totally dig the keyboard line (that Dalek got from original Faust instrumental and slowed way down), and the bass is just too much.
