Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson have teamed up and are doing some incredible stuff. I saw them the other night and it was the best gig I've been to in a long time. Can't wait til they bring out the album.
I bought David Koresh Superstar, by the Indelicates, some time ago, but I didn't get around to listening to it till this week. It's really something - it's half concept album half musical (obviously based on jesus christ superstar) about that cult in Texas that ended up getting raided by the govt. and burned down, killing many of the believers (among whom, a suspicious number of teenage girls, because Koresh was classy that way). Google it if you like, or just get the album, because the lyrics booklet actually has historical footnotes which is not something you see every day.
