Time For Some Stumpin


Once again, I feel compelled to have to explain that there's just no way that I can share things by certain bands. They're just weird about it. Even if a big pile of new grooviness were to fall from the sky, there's just nothing that I could do about it. The big Robyn Hitchcock marathon will start soon enough. But, before that, there's Floyd on the way... And, if that doesn't float your boat, just leave a comment.

Hey, I'm just along for the ride. One thing I would like to see for the recordings you post is a quality rating of sorts...I know earlier posts had these, but this last batch of PF doesn't seem to say anything.

I came across your site about a year ago but I have to admit I still don't have any idea what the Cones are about. And now lately, the Stumps? Care to offer a clue?
In any event, Cone on!

In short, regarding the stumps, if you cut down a tree, you get a stump. Someone recently cut down a bunch of recordings by a band whose name references trees. It's surreal humour, dammit!!!

Regarding the Cones, once again it's surrealism... but, this time, it's a little more subtle. Surrealism is using real things in unreal ways. A pig in a farm yard is nothing of particular interest. But, a pig between smoke stacks ... well, that's surreal.

I agree w/ Jason, I'm just along for the ride. I dig what you do here and thank you for putting up these shows. As far as the band whose name references trees, I see what you did there... I like your description of surrealism, spot on. I also agree w/ anon just above me, Pink Floyd is the best band in the universe.

Jason - As for reviews, Tomi & I always try to include the information files in the comments section, to try to give you some sense of what you would be getting. Often, honestly, I have not made an effort to compare recordings in an organized, analytical way. HOWEVER, I always publish comments from anyone who offers their opinion on a given recording. So, if you want to take a moment to write a sentence or two for the recordings that you know, I would really welcome that!

The Stumps are an invitation for tree lovers everywhere to go on a little easter egg hunt. There have been several successful hunters ... Their success inspires me to go on creating future hunts... Maybe as soon as a day or two from now.
