[Half Machine Lipschitz]

A true story:

We have a door in our bedroom that opens out onto a flat roof and we keep a folding wooden baby grate across it to keep the inside critter inside and the outside critters outside (I've attached a bell to it so I get warned whenever a raccoon tries to sneak in). Anyway, last night at about 3am there was a godawful kerfuffle as Jenny the dog was trying to get at a raccoon that was on the roof. I was lying on my belly in bed and I up with my heart pounding, but I didn't have to move at all as B had already got up and shut the door and calmed the dog down, but the weird thing is, as I was lying there, half asleep with my heart pounding, I was thinking to myself: "Is this what listening to Paavoharju feels like? 'Cause if it is, I don't like it", and I vowed to listen to this match today to see if I got the same feeling.

Well, I didn't.

Whatever - it's still more interesting than B.

My daughter-in-law is a Finn. I really like (or liked, I haven't listened to any for decades) Sibelius, too. Him and Fred Delius are my favourite DWEMs. Some fine distance runners and spear chuckers, too. This track? oh, I found it rather charming, largely due to the vocals, although I liked the cut-up/found sounds approach to the backing track, too. 5.5 / 10
I like the Residents. This track not so much. Can't understand why there's a pick of the Duck Stab Cover on the 'video'. This track isn't on the EP. 4 /10

I wasn't expecting that from A - not sure what I expected - but not that glitchy, found sound and strangely dance-y collage. I didn't hate it! I have been wary of exploring the Residents and this is actually not as intimidating as I feared. I can't say I particularly enjoyed it though.

Helsinki freezes over (but it probably does that all the time) as the mighty Finnish Eagles strike again.
