Wildildlife - Six

The debut from San Francisco’s Wildildlife (nice) belongs with the ever more popular 'noise' scene. These are psychedelic pop songs at heart, they just happen to be buried under a toxic swamp of textures, power and intense jamming. To sum up the sound I'll leave you with this.. "Crusty, Metal/Punk street kids high on Krautrock, Fruit Loops, Fresh dried Peyote and Vodka go berserk and crash the local Gothic graveyard party. In the midst of painting each others faces and shouting slogans from both the Situationists and the Brethren of the Free Spirit they realize that everything is everything and free fall through space in a liberated mindmeld."

Leo Kottke - 6 and 12 String Guitar

6 and 12 String Guitar is the second album by Leo Kottke, a solo instrumental steel-string acoustic guitar album known as the Armadillo album after the animal illustrated in the distinctive cover art. The album showcases hard-driving polyphonic finger-picking style playing that even at the fastest tempos, the notes are clean and crisp. True to its title, the album contains performances on both 6 and 12 String acoustic guitars, some using a slide. Although Kottke has included vocals in other albums, this album is all instrumental — the liner notes contained Kottke's famous apology that his voice "sounds like geese farts on a muggy day."
