Something tells me I may already have reviewed this, just before break.  If
so, well enjoy it again.  Anyway,

There's a new LP you all should get by Head of David entitled 'LP'.
This stuff is noisy, dangerous, powerful, post punk death, similar 
to Big Black but a bit more interesting.  (They have a *real* drummer, 
something Big Black could use.)  Basic sound: drums and bass put up heavy wall
of noise overwhich guitars screech, carine, feedback, and occasionally do
some fine riffs.  I like the vocals, but can't seem to describe them 
adequately.  They hit that fine borderline between singing and screaming.
OK, sound quality on this album isn't great, but neither is Atomizer's.  

In sum, this album is K.A. so go out and buy it NOW.  The LP comes with 
lyrics and a nice big weird poster of a native American (ie. "injun") holding
a skull.
