155 - Mystery of Northern Space
b"Sympathy Nervous - Inverted Type (Japan)\\nOrchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Ou C'est Lui Ou C'est Moi (Benin)\\nBarney Willen - Moshi (France)\\nFar East Family Band - Mystery of Northern Space (Japan)\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s weird about it? What\\u2019s weird about it. \\n\\nNot odd like a Zappa completist\\u2019s enthusiasm. You could pick them out of a lineup with a hand over your good eye. \\n\\nNot intentionally strange as the neon camouflage of \\u201cprog rock\\u201d. The plumage of exotic time signatures is just a slow sheet of rain from this distance and we had the roof fixed.\\n\\nPerhaps weird isn\\u2019t the right word. It lacks a bit of weight in this present tense as just getting your mail this evening can beat the strangest thing you did two years ago.\\n\\nIt\\u2019s just, something, y\\u2019know?\\n\\nWhat I mean to say if music was a room with no windows and the lamps turned off, you couldn\\u2019t get from one side of it to the other without banging yr shin on an ottoman that just shouldn\\u2019t be there. I \\u2018d rather not get to the door un-jostled. \\n\\nDedicated to the stubbed toe. You are always welcome here for a little while. Think about how good it will feel when it stops hurting. \\n\\nLove,\\nTA"
