[kj] From Self-Titled to Outside the Gate

[Leigh Newton]

I've been known to enjoy the "spree" but it usually
spans over a few days. Skinny Puppy, Melvins, Aphex
Twin, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Fugazi, Ween,
Squarepusher...all those bands are spree-friendly. 

Hard to dedicate that much consecutive time to
listening to music, unfortunately. The last time i did
it with KJ was driving by myself to and from Toronto
(4 hours each way). You really do get a sense that the
parade has gone by once Outside the Gate comes on.
It's all about the first 6 albums for me (and of
course Ha! and all the singles and blah blah). There
are gems to be had on every release that came after
(with the possible and likely exception of HFTBOH) but
those first 6 albums were the sound of a band on fire.
Yes, even Brighter.
