Yes, I have heard this is simply amazing.  It's next on my list of things
to buy.

Anyway, who saw mr. connors at the tora tora tora festival in atlanta?
I liked him a good deal, but I was blown away by the silver apples (well,
simeon).  I cannot believe they were doing that in 1968.  I thought it
made every band influenced by them look weak by comparison.  Stereolab
wishes they were that good, though jessamine does a pretty good job with
the influence.  

Oh, I've heard a rumor that, of all labels, grand royal might re-release
the two silver apples lps.  I know it is (or was) in print on cd by some
european label but it was around $30 which was out of my price range.  I
hope it goes through...

And did I also heard that dee-lite song "groove in the heart" samples the
drums from a silver apples song.  Wierd.
