Lobotomizer: Here's an oddy for you!

If you dig El Caco, you gotta check out the band Plywood (formerly anders::plywood)! Thomas from El Caco drums for them, but that's beside the point. Their guitarist and singer, Trym Hagen used to front one of the best bands I've ever seen live (and I've seen a couple of hundred gigs); Psychocop. This band, who broke up last year, played the purest, most overwhelming stoner-rock I've ever witnessed. The very first time I saw them, at a small venue in Loerenskog, Norway, I broke down and cried. They only played a handful of gigs, and I was lucky enough to see them about four times before they called it a day.

They were a one in a million-band, and if you ever come across any of their stuff (couple of demo's floating around), do yourself a favour.

Just a tip from my hat!

my own band LOTUSEATER... yeah... Never heard of it? You will!

Did anyone mention FAVEZ that Swiss band that are also,i think, signed to Stickman They kick some considerable butt.

Element!

Ja! Ja! FAVEZ!!!!!!!

Hm. Current favorites in alphabetical order:

Astroburger
The Band
Beck
Johnny Cash (RIP)
Elizabeth Cotten
Dr. John
Elvis (all periods)
The International Tussler Society (a completely unknown band from God knows where)
Emmylou Harris
Home Groan
Ennio Morricone
the Urra sessions
Vazelina Bilopphøggers (the early years, of course)
Ween

etc.

Once again I blew my cover, hehe.

Right now I feel FIREWATER is the best band on this planet,
but if I consider the works by MOTORPSYCHO in the 90s they are the best band,
but if I consider the works by JIM THIRLWELL (of Foetus, Steroid Maximus, Baby Zizanie and Manorexia fame) in the 80s and 2000s (and forget his somewhat average 90s phase) he is *the* musical genius ever,
but when my yearly FRANK ZAPPA phase takes over I consider his music to be the absolute best stuff ever recorded...
Depending on my mood Michael Gira's music steps in. After all, THE SWANS released shitloads of fantastic records. I guess Michael Gira is for me what for many Motorpsycho fans Neil Young is.

Einstürzende Neubauten (indeed arne, the supporter-album is great!!!), The Kills, The Immortal Lee County Killers, Datsuns, Raveonettes, but also Interpol, Radio 4, and still lots n lots of Kyuss, QOTSA, Hermano, etc etc
