Metallic Pastry Dept. - "Nice Vibe, This Crowd - Think It's Drugs?"



Setlist is five hours of live Danishness. Fifty-two tracks. Not for the archivists out there, because they're sourced from different and unspecified sources, sourcewise. It's dated 2003, and there's songs from Everything Must Go, 2VN, and all the way back to Rikki, taking in a few rarities on the way.

What makes this a super-swell audio treat is the quality of the recording. No hissy audience cassette or iffy soundboards here. Everything clear and balanced. Great solos, great everything. Why not replicate the live experience in the privacy of your own lockdown? Applaud and whoop and shout out requests between numbers! If you sneak a peek at the playlist, you can request what's coming next and pretend they listened to you and decided to play that song because you shouted it out! Hoo boy!

    1. The above quote is found on the LIVE version of Bodhisattva found here:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-6Axpqeuik
      from 1:08 - 1:15 (before the song begins).
      Annoncer is one of their roadies if memory serves. This was issued as a B-side in early 80's...
      This is only for clarification purposes only in case you see a quote by me anywhere else on this island raft!

  2. To grab this hot biscuit from the griddle of the internet, simply copy-paste the following into your comment:

    "Naked Lunch means exactly what the words say: a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork."

  3. Looking forward to this one. And I don't give a damn whether or not I have all or any of it already in some shape or form. Upping the chances of a Dan track shuffling into view from the amorphous void of iTunes is always a good deal.

  4. "Naked Lunch means exactly what the words say: a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork." Opium Eaters never eat breffast because tines wait for no one. You tie your tie like a hangman's noose...there ain't no TimE to drink your juice. So you run run run run...

  6. Now this looks like the kneez of the beez and no mistake and I for one am most grateful. Thank ye, good Sir Farq!

    If you listen you can hear it
    It's the laughter in the street
    It's the motion in the music
    And the fire beneath your feet
