That *is* a beautifully twisted song.  The guitar tone is so tinny, 
the vibrato rubbery, and the whole thing strange.  Plus there's that 
"here she comes/there she goes" that shows up later on Dub Housing... 
You've done it, I'm going to have to go back to the Datapanik box.

Otherwise, I've been listening to these:
* In the car, Stereolab's _Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the 
Milky Night_.  Mostly sticking to even-numbered tracks (and having 
edited out the "Dancing Queen" coda to "The Free Design"), it's a 
winner.

* Glenn Branca, Symphony No. 13, Hallucination City.  Bootleg--when's 
the official recording coming out?  It's stunning, and the fact that 
it was recorded on June 13, 2001 at the WTC makes it resonate all the 
more.  You can get a brief taste of it on his site.

* Charlemagne Palestine, Schlingen-Blangen.  71 minutes of church organ drones.

* Tim Berne, The Sevens.  Through-composed and very Berne-like; the 
sections edited by David Torn are on the verge of a revelation.

* James Tenney, Selected Works 1961-1969.  The early tape and 
computer pieces still sound contemporary.  The deconstruction of 
"Blue Suede Shoes" was my reason for picking this up, but damn, 
there's some amazing stuff here.
