man, i'll listen to just about anything mick farren dabbles
with/in...i believe we've already championed the greatness
of his solo lp "vampires stole my lunch money" on the list
prior, but i've gotta get a good word in for "mick farren's
tijuana bible"...a mind-blowing/hilarious/crazed series of
sorta spokenword (tho declaimed more in the style of a
fallen drug-engorged preacher) "stories" with  spaced out
bluesy backing...
a very killer drug album.
