I'm checking out the new Optiganally Yours album "O.Y. in Hi-Fi", sounds pretty good so far.

The singer (not sure if Rob Crow is singing or if it's the other guy?) sounds so much like Brother Machine to me, at least on track 2. (Or is the other guy not involved this time...? I'm pretty ignorant of the back stories for all these Rob Crow projects.)

Ooh, new Mike Patton album, I'm going to queue that up. Might check out Al Di Meola's new one.

Yes, Rob Crow on Vocals and Guitar, Pea Hicks on keys. I didn't realize you were interested in this album. I've had it for awhile and am happy to share!

I'm digging Dumb - Seeing Green. Kind of angular, abrasive, and punky. Reminds me a bit of the Descendants at times. Not usually my thing, but I'm enjoying it today.
