OH, the band "I'M BEING GOOD". i read your post when i first woke up and was confused.. uh... never heard em, but if someone says "budget mr. bungle" I bet they're great!

Really? I can understand why you'd be surprised, Mr Bungle are easily the shittest thing I can think of since I had my Beatles/ Zappa blocking-chip put in my head.

The records I have of theirs are kind of super-sludgy non-tuned guitars, drawled vocals... they've got this strange jazz arrangements thing going on, can get quite heavy in places. But certainly nothing like the wank-fest that Mr Bungle are, to my ears.

when i saw them they were doing that thing some bands do where they try and play as many styles of music in as short a time possible, possible.

That surprises me. I suppose they did have a time signature change thing going on, maybe they've pursued that in recent years. Shame.

i think i'm being good are more in the trumans water vein.

truman's water are the shit.. damn.. i'll have to check out "i'm being good".

My favorite band on the comp is Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. However, my favorite song on the comp is probably "Helen Fordsdale" by Mars.
Now if Theoretical Girls were on this, then yeah, I would pick them.
Cool of you to mention their absence.

Thanks to the person who originally shared this compilation with me; I'm sorry that I forget who you are.

I was listening to KUKL - The Eye (Crass Records, 1984) the other day, and it's some form of Icelandic homegrown no wave.

KUKL. Yes. They are very good, no? I think so.

Those of you who like him may be interested to know that David Bowie picked a Mars song, possible 11,000 volts, for his Desert Island Discs.

Wow, that shouldn't make a difference to my life, but ... wow.

there's a netlabel that has put out tons of i'm being good, adam; paulybee is who turned me onto them.

ED:: I REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE LABEL: infinite chug.

sweet, thanks!
