I don’t know how you do it, time and time again. Oh, the loaves and fishes were cool, and the parting of the Red Sea was really neat, but this latest one just blew me away. How’d you manage to have SST release a CD in 1996 that doesn’t have Greg Ginn playing on it? What’s more, it’s an album that sounds like old Universal Congress Of meets Eskimo! I’d like to be the first one to personally thank you for The Sort of Quartet. SST used to be one of the few labels to put out this kind of adventuresome art-punk-jazz-rock music, and Kiss Me Twice I’m Schizo lives up to the old standard. Thanks for getting that classic Knitting Factory twisted rock sound out and around again, and for breathing fresh life into a tired genre. I’m always stunned at how you keep doing these things. Of course, they’re a little too goofy at times, but hey, nobody’s perfect, right? Sorry ’bout that.
