No good new music?

Curious as to how many 2002 new releases people bought this year - I bought a lot of music this year in general, but also felt like there was a lot of good new release this year as well. Being nearly the end of the year, I looked at my music inventory spreadsheet for how many 2002 releases I had and came up at >40.

How many 2002 releases have some of you purchased? It seems like this is some measure of how much good "new" music there is out there.

Hey Phasecorrect,
Does Mooney Suzuki have a Can connection that you know of?
Malcom Mooney was the first Can vocalist and Damo Suzuki was their second. It seems unlikely that pure coincicence is at work here. On Can's Ege Bamyasi there is a lyric from "Pinch" that refers to the MC5. Never thought there could be much of a connection though since the two bands are musically quite a few light years apart

Wow...good question...I dont know if they have a connection...but chances of putting those names together out of the blue is pretty remote...is the LP your referring to the one with the soup can on the cover? I got a couple Can albums, but that one sticks out for some reason...by the way...ever here of the MONKS?

MONKS?...Doesn't ring a bell, but I'll be on the lookout for em' now. Yup, Ege Bamyasi (a true stoner) is the record w/ the can of okra on the cover, Suzuki is on that one. Mooney came back and did the vocals on their last (and sonically most pristine) record Rite Time.

Maybe a music festival would be a good place for a bunch of 'goners to give each other the business in person.

Duane...if you like fusion jazz with no vocals...check out the Philadelphia Experiment...they have a fretless bass player that eats Flea from the Redhots for breakfast...no joke...also..a very good,clean,audiophile recording...and one of my favorite "test discs"...along with Photek.....
