I figured that everyone had Psychocandy, but those TJAMC tracks are from the Peel Sessions (and harder to find), and they are superior to the versions on the LP (noisier = better in my book).
Carny = Paul Leary (of the Butthole Surfers). I'm not even sure that the album is out yet, but it's all good stuff.
Halo Comb is off Tripping Daisy's last album (after Wes' death). back in the day, Tim wasn't very big on exposure (this has somewhat changed with Polyphonic Spree), and I don't think that many people even knew this album existed. I suggest you get it from: http://www.goodrecords.com/ (it's just called "Tripping Daisy" along with "Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb" (if you don't have that already). both albums are masterpieces.
I'm really glad you liked it. I assumed that most of it would be old news to whoever got it, and I'm glad that there is new stuff for you to listen to.  |
From the mid-1990's until about 2002 I was out of touch with music generally, so there are some big gaps there. Apart from that, I tend to be into a few groups or artists from each scene, rather than being deeply into one musical style. The only exception is all the electronica artists I've found onlne.
I'll be checking in Manchester and Liverpool for Tripping Daisy stuff. I was listening to some stuff at their site, and really liked the tracks from 'Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb'. I checked Internet Archive for live shows, but no luck. They sound like they'd be a hit live.
