"His sense of the discourse around ‘the Great LPs’ in popular music is that there is a conventional main-stream canon – Beatles, Stones, male singer-songwriters, Joni Mitchell, their ilk – curated by magazines like Mojo, Rolling Stone and Record Collector, that gets all the public attention and discussion, and that makes all the money for record dealers. Floating above the public canon, however, there is an entirely separate shadow-canon of records, quite thoroughly understood and acknowledged by the collector-initiates, but listened to and known about by almost nobody else.

This is what has happened to the literary canon as well." —Paddy Bullard via

inscrutable electronica
on this bridge late at night
in this blazing noon reverie

spring was a dream
even as it fed us

"...crunchy, creepy, almost like the vocoder fucked around with a Ouija board and didn’t close the bridge quick enough. I became enamored."
