Tell me something about Otto Spooky

imomusToday I'd like anyone who's got a copy of my new album Otto Spooky to tell me something about it... and you.
How does this long-playing Momus record fit into your listening routine? What records do you play before and after it? Have you bought anything since, and is Herr Spooky throwing shade or overshadowed? Were you particularly struck by certain lines? Do Otto's musical textures please you? What's great and what grates? Where does Otto stand in your personal canon of Momus records (assuming you have some other ones)? What do you think of John Talaga's intermezzi? Have you fallen asleep to this music, made love to it, got lost in it, jogged with it, played it in your car while driving through a National Park? Did you cover your children's ears when the song about the fascist boyscout came on? (Assuming you have children, that is.) Did your dog chew James Goggin's digipak (if so, print the JPEG above on stiff card and spray it with some foul-smelling fixative). Do any of the songs play in your head even when the record isn't on? When you're at the supermarket, do you ever look around to see if Robin Hood is there "in a wheelchair buying food", kidney dialysis colostomy bag by his side? Are you a top-scoring, panda-topping Lute Score wizard?

Date: 2005-02-21 07:19 pm (UTC)You may have gone over this already, but what would be the easiest way for someone in the U.S. to get a copy of Otto Spooky? My usual sources for imports and obscurities are making no mention of it, Virgin in Orlando had no listing for it, and amazon.com says it's not out here until April. I'm afraid all the local record stores by me are pretty useless. Is there any online store you recommend? I am eager to listen and give you feedback.
