  18. I've only heard a little bit of Ornette Coleman in my day but I often cite what I've heard as some of the most impossible music to listen to / most inaccessible music I've ever heard. Still pretty cool that the Roo is willing to do that.

    I snagged the first one that came up on OiNK (I guess the webrip? Anyway the sounds isn't bad at all) I am pretty well obsessed with this album these days. It's fucking awesome! From the first listen my ears were perked for almost each track. Way better than A Ghost Is Born.
  24. Did I F it up? Can someone else fix it? My brain is out of order.
