Oakland's Rasputin's has the Jasmine re-release of _Reference To
Difference_ on CD for dirt cheap ($14) and San Francisco's Virgin
Megastore has it for heinously expensive ($24). I don't know about vinyl
availability, though, because I buy more "listening"-oriented techno on
CD and hence tend to ignore things like that on vinyl.
While I'm at it, Rasputin's is way keen. I found a used copy of YO3's
excellent _Bitter Sweet_ there for $6 and the Sun Kings' similarly
excellent _Hall Of Heads_ for $8. Yay! It sure is nice to fill in the
holes in my GPR collection so cheaply! Plus they also had _new_ copies of
Fugazi's _In On The Killtaker_ for SIX BUCKS, but I doubt y'all would
care about that.
Do any of you know what Richard Brown has been up to recently (BESIDES
Husikesque, about which I will merely say, "it's not my cup of tea.")?
Cherry Bomb's _Electronics For Dogs_ is a well-done slab of electro-
influenced rhythm and weird synthesizer noises, and YO3's album is a fine
fusing of Brown's and Beaumont Hannant's sensibilities (if, in fact,
Hannant is involved. At one point someone was making this supposition),
but I haven't heard of him doing anything recently besides the Hannant /
Husik collaboration. What's the story?
