[kj] grinderman

[bongo]

jr, in all honesty, the album aint that bad! (my opinion of course!) i am no
'follower' of Cave, but have enjoyed quite a few albums since i first heard
'the first born is dead'.
listen to the whole new album THREE times, and then make your final
judgement!
i am sure you should like at least one track..

as Janean said earlier, Electric Alice is a fine, fine tune..

=)
