[kj] OT: Swans recommendation/MOG

[Change]

Most extreme Swans track I think could be
"Tine Is Money (Bastard)"

I interviewed Micahel Gira for the new Perfect Sound
Forever and I think the new Angels of Light album is
the best one yet.

All his albums are worth checking out, even the one he
mostly disowns (The Burning World).
