if you were listening to "charlie" (technically the last full length if you don't count the live album on Tzadik) then there are actually some turntables in there (I'm pretty sure anyways). They have a couple of records out - at least 3 full lengths (scratch or stitch, charlie, and the live one), a plethora of 7"s, at least one 5"... of all the things I've heard, Charlie is by far the best - her vocals aren't quite as annoying as on the other records. As for web pointers, you could look for the skin graft homepage (scratch or stitch is on skin graft). --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
