It's the jam, no, we've done nothing wrong yet
It's the trough, wash between the dots snap a oint when you cross
And you feel learned, and I sound invisible
Buildings collapse slower when you blink
You're an electronic girl, and I'm a rock guy, I don't think we have a chance!

Ken Camden - 'Lethargy & Repercussions' (2010)
The inimitable Ken Camden serves up a panna cotta which uses the pulp of Alfonso mangoes from India and a raspberry kulfi with chocolate sponge cake. His lamb chops are are marinated in yogurt, mace and cardamom and grilled in the tandoor. People used to think that if you don’t have dishes like chicken tikka masala or lamb rogan josh on your menu, you really don’t have a great album, but that perception is changing thanks to Ken. That said, he also has some classics like butter chicken and rogan josh made with goat instead of lamb. He's also open to making dishes on request, so if someone really wants a simple dish like saag paneer, he will cook it for them. Camden uses Indian flavors in American favorites like in mini-cupcakes, which have a touch of garam masala. His album has some storage space, but there are not rooms and rooms here to store ingredients like some albums can have because he wants to use the freshest food possible and doesn’t want it lying around for a long time.

Michael Gira - 'I Am Not Insane' (2010)
November is Megalomaniac Month for dj alibi over here at Promise 'n' Warning. Beefheart is to blame. Getting into musics of all kinds of artists whom I couldn't bare previously because of their megalomania. Now I am somehow moved, probably fleetingly, by how these guys take themselves so seriously, like they're ringleaders of some cosmic circus bringing you the Greatest Show On Earth. Listening to lots of Alice Cooper, Albini, and, yea, Beefheart. For some reason, I still can't not take too seriously women who take themselves too seriously. So, as far as the music of Kate Bush, Bjork, PJ Harv et al, I still must take a pass. Madonna and Cyndi Lauper of course are ok. Perhaps Sinead O'Connor, a megalomaniac best known for covering a tune by a greater megalomaniac, is the link I've been missing? I went to the doctor and guess what he told me (guess what he told me). He said, "Girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do." But he's a fool.
...Added bonus? The liner notes to this album apparently say: “Please do not upload any of the material contained in this package onto the web or ‘share’ it all over the god damn place.” He said "package". Hahaha! What a dick! -alibi
Radio broadcasts, and a heap of 'em. Who out there likes an old song, and I mean a real old song? - gold bolus

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - 'Wolfroy Goes to Town' (2011)
Somebody should make Bonnie Billy poet laureate somewhere. 'Wolfroy Goes to Town' is a hateful, seething record. Every song is about depravity in one form or another. Yet, the Prince is always saying something new. The maturity glistens on this work like the cheeks of a dolled-up virgin holding a bouquet. -alibi
