zeni geva
been waking up in the middle of the night not remembering where i am, a curious hangover from two weeks of sleeping in somebody else's house. still have another day before i go back to work, so i'm thinking i'll take another long walk, this time to fonky fred's to grab another burger (perhaps inspahrd by andy in the clip below).
been listening to scott walker's twisted operatic journey through the trough of despond the drift (opening track of which, "cossacks are," really does sound like something the great tyrant might play), krautrock pioneers faust's 71 minutes of faust (which i bought after seeing it in teague's van and can appreciate for its makers' influence on japanoise practitioners like magical power mako as well as the same "zappa-without-the-bullshit" effect nathan brown once ascribed to henry cow), and the last zeni geva cd 10,000 light years from 2001.
zeni geva's the prog-y, math-y hardcore trio (two gtrs and drums, but a far cry indeed from hound dog taylor's houserockers or jon spencer's blues explosion) led by k.k. null (born kazuyuki kishino), whom teague cites as his fave japanoisician. the band's name translates as "money violence," and they've had four albs produced by steve albini. notwithstanding my usual disdain for metal bands whose singers sound like they took voice lessons from satan, this stuff seems to work on the same braincells as wetton-era king crimson, a good thing imo. must hear more.
