I went back to the old stacks a couple of weeks ago, and I've been listening to the two Kitchens of Distinction albums Strange Free World (1990) and The Death of Cool (1992) exclusively and non-stop ever since. I recall having a take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward them back when they were new (and maybe that is how you still react to them), but they seem to have clicked with me now.
A big tip of the hat to the mysterious individual now known as "Hot Funk" who gave them to me or sold them to me or swapped them for a "fetus burrito" at Buenas Nachos in Frankfort, Illinois. Yes, Mr. Funk, they are still in the transparent CD cases you slipped them into when you were working at CD Exchange.

I ended up get these again at Manmoth Muisc Mart for a buck a piece a few years back. If only I could find one of those burritos.
ReplyDeleteI still have my originals. I recently found their final (I think) album Cowboys & Aliens used. I used to have it, got rid of it because it sucked, then realized why I got rid of it in the first place!!
ReplyDeleteI think all their stuff is fantastic, and I have never stopped listening to them!
I can see the attraction. Lance's story reminds me of my 2 month episode in the early 90's when I rediscovered Samantha Fox (her music, not her porno)(her porno I discovered in the early 80's, if I recall correctly?)
ReplyDeleteAnyway Lance, let us know in a couple months if its out of your system, otherwise we'll start planning the intervention.
