this one hasn't been mentioned yet, but i feel it needs to.
i recently picked up kid koala "emperors main course in cantonese" -- i knew of a new koala single but didn't hear anything else about it. i was *very* suprised to hear this, as "emperors main course" was used in koala's original demo tape -- "scratchcratchratchatch" -- anyone who hasn't heard this record yet, pick it up! koala fun over david byrne "main title theme (the last emperor)". anyone who has seen the last emperor will know the track when they hear it.
high fidelity: spotting fun.
i have to mention the gentle people "emotion heater". when that singer is in the shop, flipping through records in her hand, you can see tiki (or at least i think thats the name of that...thing). (:
