I seem to recall being baffled by The Wayward Bus / Distant Plastic
Trees, despite knowing most of the chords to it.

The last album to baffle me was the reissue of Belle &
Sebastian's "Tigermilk". $21.00 (£14.50) for 2 fucking sides of
vinyl?! Now that's baffling.

KC's 'Three of a Perfect Pair'. First listen I thought, 'What shit!'
But it haunted me for the rest of the day. I couldn't make head or
tail of it. My brother's done some searching of the ET website and
explained it roughly to me. Now I almost understand it, especially as
I've listened to the live versions of some of the songs on 'Absent
Lovers.'

Saint Etienne's _The Sound of Water_. Apart from two excellent
songs, "How We Used to Live" and "Don't Back Down," I thought it was
bland. So I listened to it over and over, thinking "I've got to be
missing
something."
Nope. Bland.

I just bought a compilation called
Goodiepal & Friends. I like
the album by Danish laptop guy Goodiepal, so I thought I'd give it a
shot.
The vinyl record arrived from Forced Exposure without a cover, just
the record tucked inside a white sleeve. It's easily the most
beautiful colored vinyl I've ever seen, this black, brown and gold
computer-looking grid that takes up all the space, including the area
where the label is supposed to be.
On the vinyl are a series of letters and numbers which, I think,
indicate something about the tracks on the record. Handwritten on the
paper sleeve are letters and numbers that correspond with those on
the vinyl, with signitures next to them. Some are in Chinese, others
are in a language I can't make out (Hebrew?) There is no indication
of who is on this thing or what they are doing, though I think these
mysterious codes are supposed to offer some sort of clue.
More than half the music on the compilation is nothing more than a
single click repeated for 2 or 3 minutes at a time, the others are
pretty much just random computer noise. Some of it is kind
of "interesting" I guess, but nothing there to make you want to pull
it out again.
I find this record completely baffling.
