Comment:

This is what my boyfriend and I like to listen to when we raid my mom's wine cellar and play extremely competitive, drunken ping pong.

Notes: Anh Sßng is A 20-part Vietnamese funeral combo with drummers and brass players. The bandmaster is a clown and artiste at the same time, balancing complete bicycles on his lower jaw.

Siamese Temple Ball is a mystery to everyone, apparently. Unknown artists and label. Track listings are scrawled in Thai on the back of a restaurant check with no other credits. Electric guitar and other stringed instruments, some sort of gamelan, a Casio-type keyboard, wooden flutes, and intense percussion.

Looks awfully cool - nice balance of known-though-not-often-heard and unknown-wow-I-imagine-that-would-sound-really-interesting stuff.

Room temperature reds, I maintain, go with everything..,and a mix made for one-eyed ping pong is a force to be reckoned with. Vive le days of wine & roses...

Damn! I want to party with you guys. How about a drunken table tennis tournament? I'll bring the vino so that mom will have a little left over for the holidays. Anyway, this is an amazingly eclectic mix. Mostly stuff that's foreign to these ears, but I'm sure it's wonderful. Anh Sßng sounds like they have quite the stage show. I'd like to see Courtney Love balance a bicycle on her jaw while performing. It might take her attention away from assaulting members of the audience.

Well, of course drunken competitive ping-pong is the best kind :) This looks fantastic - really digging your mixes - especially the Jim O'Rourke, A Certain Ratio and Edith Piaf. Wonderfully eclectic.

ace picks all around, including the ones i've never heard! it's nice to see that mick jagger tune wrenched from its desultory-album environment and placed at the head of the (ping-pong) table.

stoned tennis, anyone?
