Get off topic, stay off topic, I always say. (remember the IDM'est 'X' days?) I recently got into James Chance and the Contortions. Any recommendations? Always liked the Flying Luttenbachers, even better since the most recent album ('Destroy All Music' had too much Vandermark in it for me). I like to think that Like A Tim counts as No Wave, since his music seems to be all about fucking with people and trying to make it as bad as possible. Dykehouse's recent Karaoke DJ performance, esp. the MBV cover, certainly counts as no-wave based on the DC crowd response; if he had been a little less self-effacing and more Rollins it would have been spot on. My fave of all time, and in some ways the unwary flab (sic) bearer of the movement, is Wesley Willis, demented American genius. He's got a fucking Greatest Hits record. He's funnier than Brak. So who wants to argue about No Wave? Come on, everybody likes idiot noise crossed with pop!
