Guest Mickey Bitsko Posted August 5, 2008 Very sad if he is on the way out, I presume a lot of people reading this thread haven't listened to his music but most of it isn't avant-garde twangery like Trout Mask Replica, a lot of it is very listenable. He was incredibly diverse, download a couple of songs - her eyes are a blue million miles, too much time, I'm glad, sure nuff n yes I do, zig zag wanderer, circumstances - he had a ton of great songs. Fast and stroking, zorch and bulbous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted August 13, 2008 'New' album. Though before any deadpoolers get too despondent this is one of those - like the Beach Boys' 'Smile' or Neil Young's Chrome Dreams - that was abandoned and subsequently pillaged for songs. Still has one or two unreleased items though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
