Light a fire under NYC or Florida? I'm all about San Francisco these days, Davey. But if you'd like to travel down to Florida to fuck with Doctor Gonzo count me in. He's totally fuckable.

Hey Jesus Egg, if you like Steely Dan, you ought to check out The High Llamas if you haven't. They're not a carbon copy by any means, but they do share some similar sensibilities. Imagine if Steely Dan and Stereolab had a bastard child who was actually raised by The Beach Boys, and you'll start to get the idea. They're that good too! Recommend either Snowbug or Cold And Bouncy, and Can Cladders was my top album of 2007.

Yeah, I'm a pretty big High Llamas fan.

Today:

Liars
Team Robbespierre
Sonic Youth
Killing Joke
GBV

My 5, currently (in no particular order):

Lifetime achievement awards (as in, bands I've always liked even as my tastes have changed dramatically, again in no particular order):

And I think a better question is, what are your 5 Favorite Lips Besides The Band?

3) Linus Pauling Quartet
4) Cul De Sac
5) SubArachnoid Space

Great fucking list!

can't do 5, so here's 17:

1. Felt - "Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty" never gets old.

2. The Birthday Party/Nick Cave - The transition from junkie to preacher is quite astounding. "Junkyard" and "No More Shall We Part" are must haves.

3. John Zornand his various nomenclature - Masada/Naked City/Painkillers, etc. - Jazz that's not for everyone, but this guy is mad with genius I promise.

4. Diamanda Galas - multiple octave voice that will make your neighbors move out and your grass die - "You Must Be Certain Of The Devil" and "The Sporting Life" w/ John Paul Jones of Led Zep fame are probably the most accessible.

5. David Bowie - if you don't have Ziggy Stardust or Aladdin Sane kill yourself.

6. Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry - the first 2 Roxy albums for sure. "Beauty Queen" is what i sing in the shower. Ferry's include just for his "Let's Stick Together" solo effort.

7. The Kinks - "Village Green". 'nuff said.

8. Butthole Surfers - I'm from Texas. When you bought acid in the 80's you got a free copy of "Locust Abortion Technician" or "Psychic,Powerless...Another Man's Sac" w/ purchase.

9. The Fall - avant and pop had a baby-ahhhh.

10. Fuckemos - think punk marching band on rohypnol. don't sleep on your stomach around these guys.

11. Tindersticks - Stuart Staples has a voice like the bottom end a bottomless chasm.

12. The Melvins - what can you say about Buzzo other than he is a god.

13. KK Null/Zeni Geva - listen and find out.

14. Big Black/Rapeman/Shellac - just because Albini is such a glorious asshole.

15. Guided By Voices/Pollard/etc. - I like at least 50% of Bob's 50,000 songs.

16. Roky Erickson/13th Floor Elevators - it's nice he's come out of his electro-shock stupor and started touring again.

17. The Red Krayola - w/out Roky you'd have no Mayo.
