BABY'S ON TRIAL . . .

better drink some fire water. Yeah, the jury hour is fast approaching, and your humble host, fueled by electric Miles, Big Youth and Shabbat Noir, must now turn all attention to wooing the 12 lucky San Franciscan souls who'll take the box in the case of ________ v. __________. You peckish soundhounds, all 3 of you, or whoever the hell reads this blog and digs 'em their Waveform Baby, will have to dine elswhere until around Thanksgiving.

And in doing so, don't skimp on these fine vittles:

new shite:

Miles Davis -- The Complete On the Corner Sessions ($$$ but so worth it; the Corky McCoy metal box cover is a bitch)

Om -- Pilgrimage
Wooden Shjips -- s/t
James Murphy & Irish friend whose name I can't remember -- Fabric Mix

Love Live Life + 1 -- Love Will Make a Better You
Steve Miller Band -- Space Cowboy (from Brave New World)
Ron Wood -- I've Got My Own Album to Do
Wild Magnolias -- They Call Us Wild

Last but not least, send your prayers to the majestic Beavis Xavier (pictured left), who's just bravely endured a dome osteotomy.
