    The Soft Bulletin and Transmissions from the Satellite Heart are my recommendations, always found the Yoshimi album to be a crushing disappointment.

    Yep - That's the order. Then Clouds Taste Metallic and Priest Driven Ambulance for some early weirdness.

    Not sure if any of you heard about the Yoshimi musical created by the same guy that did Tommy and Jersey Boys.

    I saw it during it's run out here, it was quite good. Hopefully it'll get to Broadway.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
