  • The Flying Luttenbachers - Revenge of the Flying Luttenbachers is a brilliant piece of art. Kinda riding a missile over necropolis..

    Track Picks:

    Storm of Shit
    Thoughts for Americans
    Death Ray
    Mercury Retrograde

  • DNA is my favorite no wave band by far, and i would recommend them to anyone that likes anything from shellac and the jesus lizard, to mars or glenn branca. as much as no wave bands are thought of as having no skill, DNA, especially after the addition of a bassist, are rythmically very tight while still creating some of the weirdist rythms ever.

    and to continue with the Weasel Walter...

  • I would advise checking out the new Old Time Relijun album, too. Not their best, but still really good. The James Chance/improv sax is great..

    And Clipd Beaks new album, Hoarse Lords, is awesome.

    it seems to me that being good is almost a qualifying factor in something being No Wave. have i heard and not liked any No Wave music? im not sure.
    i think there will be a lot of comps in this list (and that it will die at 40 (like that French dude from that No Wave band i have forgotten right now!)).
