Perplexed by toys background music: Stilluppsteypa: Interferences Are Often Requested Orchester des jüdisches Theatres Lemberg: Ouverture Die Drei Matunes some of the the earliest and deepest recorded klezmer Karlheinz Stockhausen: Capricorn from a music box pulled from the innards of a hanged bird-man effigy Pascale Comelade: I Surrender another music box, predicting the arrival of our special guests Kid-606/Hrvatski: Catstep/My Kitten/Catnap--Vatstep DSP Remix more of a friendly attack--rowrr!--and deliriously fun Mac ragga Tied & Tickled Trio: Mutant the beat doesn't stop even after the horns locate the party Takako Minekawa: Plash there are squirmy things inside metal-and-silicon toys Monk Montgomery: Fuselage, pt. 1 sitting in the back, roaring his bass like an afterburner I Am Spoonbender: Replaced By Toys defining old Can records as "toys" and then winding them up Bob Log III: Booby Trap #2 ex-Doo Rag guy becomes Gary Glitter, but with more "mature" tastes Josh White: Silicosis Is Killin' Me the bitterest of just-post-crash bluesguys Don Varner: He Kept On Talkin' he's got his own reason to be bitter and his pal doesn't even know The Handsome Family: Lie Down doesn't realize he wants to die until the river tips him off Suicide: Cheree (remix) doesn't realize he wants to live until the remix tips him off Tobin Sprout: I Didn't Know ex-GBV guy has great, rough-hewn pop demos? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT?! The Verlaines: Pyromaniac Graeme Downes knows the secret chords of Mahler Tortoise: Gamera their most sustained piece, and least blanched reading: a very odd personal ad Skull Kontrol: In A Different Cage terminator skull speaks with his hands "DJ" Pantshead: 4 L.L. Cool J looks good with pants on his head too! King Onyina: Da Bi Na Wabehia sprinkling sixteenth notes like oregano The Vaselines: No Hope sometimes all you need is a good wallow Tenores di Bitti: Sa ballarina Pole: Spaß Michael Moore: Gulls Sükru Tunar: Huzzam Taksim Jandek: Naked In The Afternoon Areski/Brigitte Fontaine: Il Pleut Sur La Gare Machines For Making Sense: AS x 3 Mark Applebaum: Tlön Remix Joe Armstrong & Group: Pay Me one big semi-overlapping mix, like a bunch of people who go to a restaurant alone and have to sit together at a single large table and end up striking up some friendships but only with the people sitting next to them because they can't hear beyond that, but that's something anyway, friendships are not to be underrated Suicide recorded live in session (engineer: Jerry Fabris) White Man More More More Ghost Rider Dream Baby Dream Juke Box Baby Scream Visions Money Money Money City Of Lights The Rapture: Olin they probably used to like 7 Seconds, now they like 17 Seconds The Masked Marauders: More Or Less Hudson's Bay Again goofy fake Dylan, a joke that somebody decided to make reality Rebecca Moore: The Thaw you're right, Irwin, this is excellent, thanks for the tip Robert Filliou: Imitating The Sound Of The Birds why would Fluxus announce anything other than the truth? Philip Cohran & the Artistic Heritage Ensemble: Unity violin drone + Afro-percussion = 8 minutes of wow
