    Well it's certainly a collective, but I think the animals are grubs.

    FYI The mystery record with the wibbly wobbly sleeve is Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion.
    Aaaaaah, OK, I was wondering.

    From, V. A. K. Ranga Rao, the man with the largest collection of 78s (over 45,000) 
    to guys like Suresh Chandvankar who would buy 78s by the kilogram and store 
    them in what was supposed to be his retirement home on the outskirts of Mumbai, 
    but has no room for common furniture necessities, Robert Millis ("Climax Golden Twins") 
    has put together a wonderful 2-CD set of songs that come mostly from the "acoustic" era - 
    pre-1927 - of recording in India. Surprisingly, 78s were produced in India for a 
    relatively long time: starting in 1902 and ending as recently as 1970.

    I won't risk giving a full-blown review, but I'll just mention that the variety here 
    is absolutely incredible. The first track - an instrumental tune, from 1927, 
    played on the vichitra veena (a horizontally played veena) - is followed by a 1908 
    recording of a Carnatic piece played on jalatharangam (a set of porcelain bowls 
    partially filled with water that are played with small bamboo sticks) followed by 
    a Tamil duet featuring Dhanakoti Ammal - the first woman to be recorded in 
    South India (in 1905). These are only the first three tunes of a total of 46.

    Good new one.  Pianists have surpassed cigars as the main Cuban export, I think.  Bird Is the Worm review

    - released February 5, 2016  
       "The Fiction Issue, a collaboration with the string quartet Brooklyn Rider, is Gabriel Kahane's first album of chamber music, comprising three pieces written between 2011 and 2015. The title work, featuring Shara Worden, was commissioned by Carnegie Hall, and premiered in 2012. It was revised in 2014. Bradbury Studies (2014-2015), for quartet alone, is a deconstruction of the song "Bradbury (304 Broadway)" from The Ambassador, and is dedicated to Brooklyn Rider. Finally, Come On All You Ghosts (2011), on poems by Matthew Zapruder, closes the set."

    @rostasi, it's the second and third letters in a very slowly spelled word. It is going to say xerrox, but it has taken 9 years to spell the first three letters:


    (Xerrox, Vols 1-3, Alva Noto)
    ETA, Vol 1 and 3 are good, vol 2 is sublime.

    Funny how albums have their moments. I downloaded this in the Guvera avalanche because some folk on here talked about Frisell with reverence. Listened a couple of times, it did not really click with me. I put it on this evening and began listening again and now I am not sure how to stop. I am on my third consecutive time through:
