I'm kinda thinking I might not turn off a Nick Cave/Los Lobos knife fight LP myself, but it does suggest a high bar.

Trying to get more precise perhaps....what would be considered in the genre of "mutant disco"? Maybe not Talking Heads but maybe Eno/Byrne Bush of Ghosts stuff? Throbbing Gristle maybe? Cabaret Voltaire? Art of Noise? I mean, there are plenty of eligible contenders for skronky but still beat-oriented music in the post-punk era. Like Factory Records stuff, Level 42, A Certain Ratio, African Head Charge. None of that is like Jeff Bridges's stuff. But it was the '70s, I guess, so, you know, disco or something.

Cabaret Voltaire and Certain Ratio I think would qualify the strongest.

Now here's some doofus disco.

Dream on...drink on...it's just a matter of time, baby....

Look at this slooshy pimp.

Here's what I was thinking of mutant disco, mutated brain-floor flavor. Take one a day. Monitor the perineum.

I had to get the Sun Ra set for the two-night concert, Nuits de la Fondation Maeght.

The new Panda Bear is pretty good.

Bootsy Collins, still going strong in 2025 with a new Album of the Year.

John Zorn's Painkiller (w/Bill Laswell) has quietly released three new albums over the past year, after being largely dormant, except for a few select shows, over the previous 30.
