The Mares Nest

Frank liked The Monkees.

The Faust Tapes, even more than first, the clear album, is for me the essence of Faust. I've been listening to this over and above much else by choice recently: http://ashcanmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/BroadcastAndTheFocusGropup_InvestigateWitchCults_1-300x300.jpg ..and it's got a good d...

It was a just matter of weeks after i discovered Cardiacs that i discovered this forum, then in its early days. If it hadn't been for the discussion and micro-surgery that followed i'd still be wallowing about in my own ignorance.

A round of applause in order really -- fine interpretative work indeed.
