(this is all pretty much ILX conventional wisdom I think)
Also the whole of Jay-Z's "Vol 3: The Life and Times of S. Carter"
I recommend all of these because they somehow seem outside the universe of yr. ken and methods of discussion (except the Bakhtin which seems like it provides an elusive framework of sorts to the universe of yr. ken)
[haha -- the universe of ken = the pink dream house and that's IT!]1

trouser press sez:
Although listening to this run-of-the-mill Bad Company arena rock may not, a glance at the credits indicates why Chequered Past was one of the most depressing groups/albums of recent years. Clem Burke and Nigel Harrison (both ex-Blondie) and Steve Jones (ex-Pistols) formed three-fifths of the band, proving conclusively that even talented new wavers, no matter how idealistic and rebellious, were merely a few years away from becoming just as bogus as the musicians they originally set out to dethrone.

it's short, it got them in a whole lot of trouble, it predates the whole francophilia farfisa downtempo thing by about 4 years... it has aged much better than the steely dan/hall and oates samples.

I can't believe you think steely dan and hall and oates samples can age. They're deathless! And "I Can't Go For That" seems to be more popular now than at any time since it came out.

you crack me up duuude!
well since you don't buy that many recs I suspect that my tape is of a newish model. its a TDK 90 minute tape (do you have many of those with that length?).
Open the case and inside you should have the sticker labels attached. in fact it doesn't just have the sticker labels but it has other more 'colourful' labels (one is of a car, another is a guitar, and another has a cup of a tea , a star and a heart).

Cabinet, available online as well, is a brilliant read if you find yourself intrigued by these sorts of things:
How does his lifelong habit of nosepicking bring Jonathan Ames to the subject of the word 'bice'?
Might 'the cute' be as important as 'the sublime', and might one put together 15 theses about it?
How might Brian Dewan do a school slideshow (deadpan, absurd, horrific) of the Book of Deuteronomy?

that 2 CD 'plunderphonic' box is a little indigestable, but I think you might like his 'WX' from 1983 or the revised 'Plexure' if you're curious about how he earned his rep
