FMU's not about requests for me - it's about getting turned on - but got any Jay Farrar in the bag?
...wull, BrianJones is a sore point - but, yeah...
Brian in UK:
Quick note on drummers, all these talented musicians that play all the instruments on their records would do well to consider having a drummer as the only outside player. For balance and quality.

Did you manged to see Mucha's Slav Epic exhibition at the National Gallery?
Clïff in Prägůe:
And yes! I did get to see the Slav Epic, it is monumental, I had to spend over 2 hours there wandering around to take it all in. Now I'm trying to figure out how to recreate it in VR (my current hobby)

Someone like Gary Lucas, though, was reverential but hardly a cult member. Maybe Van Vliet tamped down his dictatorial ways by then.
