Well I've added scans for the cover of Feed me Weird Things to the web page. Just click on the pic in the discography and you can get a bigger one, just like Conumber and Allroy. Also transcribed the liner notes by RDJ. All this stuff is in the discography. Have a look at: http://members.gnn.com/GMerchan/sqrpshr.htm Seems like some of you out there aren't as excited about Feed Me... as I am. I'm fucking in love with it, and I'm driving everyone around me insane listening to it over and over again. I think its a major peice of work and I can't remember the last time I got into an album this much. Maybe as long ago as Orbital 2 and Surfing on the Sine Waves. This, for me anyhow, is the album of the year so-far and it will take alot to top it. Anyway, I'm getting a new sound card soon and will probably be putting up sound files. Would you knuckleheads out there like .wav files or would you rather have clips in real audio? Let me know... /""'' /"'RESH Live and Direct from the G-Spot Orange County, California, USA

Funny cos I think "Ernest Borgnine" is quite aphexy in a way. It doesn't sound lke anything RDJs done, yet it sounds kinda like him - if someone had told me this was the the new aphex I would have believed them, due to the amount of times he's (afx) done things that didn't sound like what he did before. This is in no way a criticism, like I say it doesn't sound like afx as such, and thus far it's my most favouritest track on the album :) J ^ __________ ________.__/_____ _||_/ James Skilton aka Steady J _[]/_____________[.__\____-_ DJ and Party Animal | | Part Time Hedonist |____________________________| Full Time Technohead |__|-' '-|__| Steady-J@Firefox.co.uk

Okay, it's about time people knew the truth. Tom Jenkinson is just a bass playing jazz musician whom the Rephlex boys met in a pub (there's some truth to the bio on "Feed me weird things") about a year ago. Richard and Tom devised a plan to flood the stores with releases, and create a mass spread of hype about the alleged talent of this so-called Tom Jenkinson, a classically trained bass player who has never touched a 303 let alone sequenced all those wicked breaks. The truth is, Squarepusher is simply a collaboration between Tom and Rich...with Rich doing all the machine music, while Tom occationally jams on bass to a few tracks. This easily explains why Rich has been out of the scene for a bit. Ya, right. ^^^^^^^^^ (Originally I'd intended to leave that out, but i know there's somebody out there who might actually believe I'm serious, and give me hell. I've got a bit of a sense of humour tonight though...and come on, the theory sort of works!)
