While I may not agree with your taste in music, I will defend til the hurt your right to post it.

o this stuff is maybe a little specialized maybe.
it started out as entirely a joe meek thread and then mutated.
it was fun to put together, and got stranger as it went.

but i will maintain that joe meek's "i hear a new world" is genius. 1959 recording. the guy invented space-age pop.
