She said yes, even though she’d never sang a note in her life, and they quickly exchanged information. Story goes, they wrote I Don’t Wanna be a Rat Like That later that evening in Cabbie’s garage.
Thanks BV, it's an avenue I'm hoping to explore more. I imagine also you know the Stanislaw Lem book of prefaces to imaginary books. I'll always remember "Gigamesh" the Joycean sci-fi version of the ancient myth that was maybe created by an AI.
Review Fiction is my new favourite thing.
Looking forward to yours - an Umbranox album revealing the true purpose of the Old Ones, maybe?
I heard there's a box set bootleg of theirs floating around the dark web.
And you BV? Are you gonna take the plunge and do a stockingfiller album recommendation before Xmas?
I'm going to do one of these, Murph. Like Jon, this might be my new favorite genre. Loved this!
Great, can't wait to see yours. Punk, new wave, heavy, folk...?

I'm drooling to learn more about this Garage phenomenon.

It's gotten weird/funny.
Actually, I might need to take this back even further. Might be 65 or something. Still working it out.
Fun stuff! Borgesian reviews of nonexistent stuff is very real!

I loved "A Perfect Vacuum."
Yeah I just checked, it was in that one.
