Auntie Ants went-a-CD-shoppin' on Saturday (and kindly brought me back a vinyl copy of Transeurope Express). She hasn't been buying for a while, but now the property deals all done she went a bit mad. U2, The Killers, Ordinary Boys, Secret Machines and a couple of others I can't remember - all ok but nothing to write home about really. The real stand outs though were a) Medulla - the new Bjork album - spooky, weird, acapella brilliance - I think I'm only just starting to realise just what that lady is capable of. The reviews were luke warm, but I suspect that's because your average rock journo simply doesn't have the capacity to recognise genius when he/she hears it, especially when it sounds as strange as this. This was at the second attempt though as she bought the DVD-A/DVD Video version on Friday by accident and had to go back Saturday for the CD version. Interestingly my DVD player didn't want to know about the DVD Video layer either - it went into a tailspin and hung b) Gnayse by Bola (Yep, Bola Gnayse, follow up to their last album Bola Soup - presumably their next will be Bola Peanuts or Rola Bola BOLA Penny a Pitch :D ). Utterly entrancing electronica. I'd never heard of them before. Auntie put it on and I was stunned - Oh she says afterwards - I've got another of theirs (Bola Soup), rummaged in her CD stash and that went on too. WARNING - not to be listened to when stoned unless you know what you are doing or you may never come out of it :MILD: Addendum: Inspired I had a look round for other stuff by Bola. Seems this isn't the follow up to Soup. They released Bola Mauver since and Bola Ks before :rolleyes: . Good/bad jokes - I love em, especially when applied to what is really quite serious music.
