Several new and old releases worth checking out:

NEW:  Ultra's "Youthful Pleasures"
  A conceptual noise sound collage type thing in the Nurse With Wound style
  (i.e. good!), but darker and much scarrier.  The first cut is the strongest
  and is unique, nasty, innovative--called "Sport F*cking with Traci Lords".
  This has found (probably) vocal passages from a porn flick and very weird
  vocal stuff added by Ultra.  The rest of the album is more abstract.

OLD: The Beast - "Has Arrived"
  Strong punk metal, fun songs, and an album cover only a mother could love.

OLD: Appliances - "SFB"
  Strong post punk in various styles including some white reggae, a tad of
  funk, and other things I can't remember at the moment; but most
  importantly, very strong playing.

NEW: Swans - "Real Love"
  Limited release (I have #346, what's *yours*) Swans.  Slow and nasty of
  course.  Besides a few minor electronic problems during the performance
  (some speaker wobbles in and out), the recording is very good.  High price
  means Swans fans only!

OLD: Factrix - "Scheintot"
  Soft, nasty, innovative with *nasty* *nasty* lyrics.  Depressing.  Weird.


So, do you think any of those Heavy Metal types on music.misc will buy
Sonic Youth?  Heh, heh.
